The OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 is a tribute to OMEGA’s pioneering legacy and the iconic Speedmaster’s role in the Apollo missions. This 44.25 mm masterpiece showcases a black ceramic case and an intricately designed movement inspired by the moon’s surface, with laser-ablated details visible through both the dial and caseback. The skeletonized black anodized aluminum dial reveals the “near side” of the moon, while the reverse offers a view of the “far side,” creating a captivating connection to the Apollo 8 mission.

Adorned with a perforated black rubber strap with a yellow interior, this model exudes sophistication, highlighted by a yellow chronograph seconds hand and a laser-engraved tachymeter scale filled with white enamel on the bezel. Its patent-pending small-seconds subdial features a Grade 5 titanium hand shaped like the Saturn V rocket, meticulously crafted with laser techniques to capture intricate textures and colors.

At the heart of this watch lies the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3869, a manually-wound movement certified for precision and magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss. The caseback bears engraved tributes to Apollo 8, including “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.” With a 50-hour power reserve, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and 50 meters of water resistance, this watch merges innovation with space-inspired elegance, delivering a truly unforgettable timepiece.
