Description
The OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, inspired by the six historic lunar landings, celebrates the brand’s space legacy. This 44.25 mm black ceramic model stands out for its laser-ablated darkened movement, representing the lunar surface — the visible side is shown through the skeletonised dial, and the hidden side through the case back.
The watch features a black rubber strap with a yellow interior, varnished yellow hands, a bezel with a laser-engraved tachymeter scale, and a subdial hand shaped like the Saturn V rocket, made in Grade 5 titanium.
Inside, the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer 3869 calibre ensures exceptional precision and performance. Engravings on the case back include: “APOLLO 8, DEC 1968”, “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”, “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE” and “CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER”.
