50 years after the Apollo 8 mission<\/strong>, the first to orbit around the moon, Omega is proudly releasing its newest Dark Side of the Moon timepiece<\/strong>. Unlike previous Dark Side models, this release houses a specially decorated version of OMEGA’s famous Moonwatch movement \u2013 a calibre that deserves to be seen!<\/p>\n

\"Speedmaster\"<\/p>\n

To display the workings inside, the dial<\/strong> of this timepiece has been skeletonised<\/strong>. Inside, laser ablation has been used to precisely decorate<\/strong> the bridges and main plate of the blackened movement, producing realistic imagery of the lunar surface<\/strong>. And like the moon, it reveals two unique sides. The dial-side is a light shade to represent our view of the moon\u2019s surface from Earth, while the back of the watch delves into the dark side that only astronauts get to see<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Speedmaster\"<\/p>\n

In this new creation, Omega has again embraced its popular \u201cDark Side of the Moon\u201d innovation, producing the entire watch in black zirconium oxide ceramic<\/strong>. To contrast this dark tone, the brand has chosen a yellow colour coding<\/strong>. OMEGA first used colour coding in its Speedmaster collection in 1968 for a Speedmaster Racing model. Today, because yellow is often most closely associated with speed, it was seen as the ideal choice for this new watch.<\/p>\n

\"Speedmaster\"<\/p>\n

The chronograph hands are varnished yellow<\/strong>, while the watch’s tachymeter scale and crown are filled with Super-LumiNova<\/strong>. The black and yellow theme extends to the leather strap, which contains a section of yellow rubber through the middle. A milling tool has then been used to create micro perforations through the constructed strap to reveal the yellow rubber inside.<\/p>\n

“WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE” \u2013 the special words engraved on the caseback – were spoken by Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell on board the Apollo 8 mission<\/strong> at the start of the crew’s pioneering orbit to the dark side of the moon – a mysterious hemisphere never seen before by human eyes. Seconds before the spacecraft disappeared beyond the range of radio contact, Lovell spoke these final assuring words to ground control.<\/p>\n

\"Speedmaster\"<\/p>\n

Few people will ever get to witness the moon\u2019s mysterious distant surface at close range, but to wear the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 is to make an authentic connection to space travel history. Its blackened and decorated version of the Calibre 1861 – called 1869<\/strong> as a tribute to the first moon landing – is a close reminder of the original Moonwatch movement and OMEGA\u2019s unrivalled legacy in space.\u00a0(Price \u20ac.9.000<\/strong>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
