Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 was introduced at BaselWorld 2018. It features a ceramic case paired with a Lemania-1873 based movement, which is first for the brand. This 44.25 mm model celebrates the close connection between the Speedmaster and the moon with a blackened movement that has been laser-etched to resemble the lunar surface. The near side can be seen through the blackened skeletonized dial, and the far side through the case back. The entire watch, which comes on a perforated black leather strap with a yellow rubber inner side, is made of black ceramic and also features yellow-lacquered chronograph hands and a tachymeter scale with Super-LumiNova.
