The Omega Speedmaster watch is a stylish and practical timepiece that is perfect for any occasion.
The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8 crew became the first people to observe the moon’s dark side in 1968. In honor of their aim, OMEGA has created this magnificent chronograph 50 years later. This collectible watch is notable for its uniquely embellished version of the legendary Moonwatch caliber 1861, in addition to its skeletonized dial.
This Speedmaster’s unusual design, presented on a perforated black leather strap with yellow rubber running through the center, stays faithful to Apollo 8’s pioneering attitude. The watch is made entirely of sleek black ceramic, and the display has been elegantly skeletonized to show a blackened mechanism within. The movement has been laser-ablated to provide realistic pictures of the lunar surface, which is very remarkable.
THE COLOR RANGE
The chronograph hands are yellow-lacquered, while the tachymeter scale and crown are white Super-LumiNova. The words Speedmaster and Tachymetre are likewise highlighted in yellow.
THE RETURN OF THE CASE BACK
The phrases “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE” around the glass caseback refer to Jim Lovell’s final remarks uttered to ground control moments before Apollo 8 traveled to the far side of the moon.
NEAR SIDE
This watch’s dial has a light hue with a landscape full of craters to symbolize Earth’s view of the moon’s surface.
FAR SIDE
The caseback digs into the moon’s dark side, which only astronauts get to glimpse. It also provides an excellent picture of the interior of the Calibre 1869.
THE COMPLETE ORBIT
OMEGA traveled around the moon to capture the stunning appearance of this Speedmaster timepiece. The final design was created using only the finest materials, and the craftsmanship is of the greatest degree of watchmaking competence. You are now in charge of the exploration!
DESCRIPTION
The renowned OMEGA Speedmaster, which was present at all six moon landings in history, is a real icon of space as well as OMEGA’s pioneering spirit.
The Speedmaster lunar past is commemorated on the blackened movement, laser-ablated to simulate the moon’s surface in this 44.25 mm replica. The near side is visible through the blackened skeletonized dial, and the far side is visible through the case back.
The Omega Speedmaste is black ceramic. It has varnished yellow chronograph hands and a Super-LumiNova tachymeter scale. The watch is presented on a perforated black leather band with a yellow rubber interior.
The OMEGA Calibre 1869 movement within is particularly adorned, and engravings on the case back include “APOLLO 8, DEC 1968, “Omega Speedmaster DARK SIDE OF THE MOON,” and WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.”
