The Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon timepiece is a true icon of space and an exceptional wristwatch from the OMEGA Speedmaster collection – it’s been part of all six lunar missions and moon landings. Today, it’s presented to you in a blackened colour option, which, as the name suggests, represents the dark side of the moon. The 44.25M black case is the epitome of luxury, and the exceptional timepiece is powered by the OMEGA Calibre 3869 manual-winding chronograph movement, complete with chronograph complication and presented on a co-ordinating black rubber strap with yellow stitching. The bold-sized case is crafted from satin-brushed black ceramic, to ensure the watch always looks pristine. The Speedmaster’s history aboard the Apollo 8 mission is celebrated through the blackened movement, which is laser-ablated on the main plate and bridges to represent the moon’s surface. The near side can be seen through the skeletonized black anodised aluminium dial, while the far side can be seen through the case back. The ultra-modern and smart black step dial features baton hour indexes and hands in matching black ceramic. The three chronograph dials at the centre record small second, 30-minute and 12-hour. It's complete with a varnished yellow chronograph second hand and a laser-engraved tachymeter scale on the bezel which is filled with white enamel. The small-seconds sub dial includes a grade 5 titanium hand shaped like the Saturn V rocket. This 3D shape is obtained by laser turning, while the colours are obtained by white varnish, ablation, and laser blackening. The dial is protected by a strong and scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass cover. The case back features the engraved words “APOLLO 8, DEC 1968”, “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”, and “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE”. Powered by the OMEGA famous manual-winding Calibre 3869, it comes with a power reserve of 50-hours, a 50M water resistance which is ideal for everyday wear and a five-year brand warranty. Presented in stunning OMEGA branded packaging which is ideal for gifting and keeping in mint condition. The all-black case is punctuated with vibrant yellow details; this bold aesthetic is continued throughout the dial and bezel of the case, bringing this stellar timepiece to life.
