OMEGA Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon" Apollo 8 Stem Winding – 311.92.44.30.01.001

The Omega Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon" Apollo 8 edition is a tribute to the historic Apollo 8 mission, the first manned spacecraft to orbit the Moon. With a sleek 44.25 mm black ceramic case and buckle, this timepiece exudes sophistication and durability. Its black skeletonized dial reveals the lunar-inspired laser-ablated movement, showcasing both the near and far sides of the Moon through the front and transparent caseback.

Functionality meets style with its chronograph, small seconds sub-dial, and tachymeter scale, all powered by the Omega Calibre 1869 manual-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve. Engravings on the caseback immortalize the significance of the Apollo 8 mission, reading "APOLLO 8, DEC 1968," "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON," and "WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE."

Crafted from advanced materials, the watch is both lightweight and robust. The black ceramic case offers exceptional scratch resistance, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures clear visibility of the intricate details without reflections. Its perforated black leather strap, accented with a yellow rubber interior, adds a sporty touch to the design.

Omega's expertise in ceramics, dating back over a decade, shines through in the watch's construction. Ceramic offers not only durability but also hypoallergenic and non-magnetic properties, making it an ideal choice for watch enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the synthetic sapphire crystal, rated 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, guarantees unparalleled scratch resistance and clarity.

The Omega Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon" Apollo 8 edition is more than just a timepiece; it's a symbol of human achievement in space exploration, encapsulating the spirit of adventure and innovation.
