Introducing The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8
A tribute to the first orbit of the moon, this special edition is powered by a custom version of Omega's Caliber 1861.
With a stunning skeletonized dial and crisp yellow accents, the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 special edition is a unique take on Omega's Dark Side archetype. An ideal choice for a Speedmaster to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 8 mission, this very black expression of the Dark Side of the Moon pays tribute to the first Apollo mission to complete an orbit of the moon itself. With a cut-away dial carrying the imprint of the lunar surface and a special version of Omega's hand-wound 1861 movement with black bridges, the Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 is a bold and rather literal expression of a Moonwatch. Interestingly, this is not a limited edition but rather an addition to the main collection.
This will be my next gen Omega
Is that a beauty ! .... From the dial, the bezel, the movement ... to the color!
It's the BEST Speedmaster by far ... yet.
