02 NEW FRONTIERS

Before the Omega Speedmaster took on its lunar associations – due to its status as Nasa’s watch of choice in its space missions – it was known for being a top sports and motor-racing chronograph. The new Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8 pays homage to the Apollo 8 crew, who were the first people to see the dark side of the moon in 1968. The 44.25mm ceramic watch features the hand-wound Calibre 1869, which has been blackened and laser-ablated on both sides to represent the lunar surface.
