Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon - Apollo 8 - Chronograph 44.25mm

A stunning tribute to space exploration history, this exceptional timepiece celebrates OMEGA’s legendary role aboard the historic Apollo 8 mission—the first human flight to orbit the Moon.

Crafted from a single block of sleek, jet-black zirconium oxide ceramic, this 44.25mm model masterfully bridges the gap between groundbreaking aerospace heritage and avant-garde horology.

The defining feature of this timepiece is its mesmerizing, skeletonized black anodized aluminum dial. Through expert laser ablation, the mainplate and bridges of the movement have been intricately textured to realistic perfection, realistically representing the cratered surface of the Moon. The dial side beautifully displays the near side of the lunar surface as seen from Earth, while turning the watch over reveals the mysterious "dark side" of the Moon through the sapphire crystal caseback.

Contrasting sharply against the lunar monochrome aesthetic are vibrant, chronograph hands and details in a striking yellow hue. The iconic black ceramic bezel features a tachymeter scale filled with bright white enamel, framing the three-dimensional depth of the exposed mechanical caliber underneath.

Completing this bold, racing-inspired look is a premium black perforated leather strap, featuring a striking yellow rubber interior and matching contrast stitching, secured comfortably to the wrist with a dedicated black ceramic buckle.
