A Strong Showing From the Dark Side

Omega Unveils Its New Apollo 8 Watch As you look down at your watch beneath the clock hands, you’ll find a replica of the moon’s surface, complete with the Sea of Tranquility. Using a laser ablation, Omega perfected the concept to pay homage to our planet’s silent stabilizer. Turn the watch over, and the underside is almost as intricate as its front: it includes a replica of the dark side of the moon, just as the Apollo 8 astronauts would’ve seen it. Lovell’s words — “We’ll see you on the other side” — and the date of the Apollo 8 mission adorn the perimeter. Yellow clock hands and a black band with yellow accents complete the strong lunar look. Coming in at $9,750, this is Omega’s second edition in their Dark Side of the Moon series. It has a slimmer case and lower price tag than the original, though the complex design makes it even more valuable.

“We’ll see you on the other side.” Those were the words spoken by Apollo 8 commander Jim Lovell as the crew prepared to be the first humans to go behind the moon. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1968 voyage, and Omega is celebrating with the release of a new watch: the Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon. A continuous innovator of the timeless chronograph, Omega’s latest creation has us intrigued and excited. The black timepiece is embellished with details meant to capture the heart of the Apollo 8 expedition. Like the Speedmaster watches before it, the Apollo 8 features a Super-Luminova tachymeter scale and crown and an easily readable face — but the true uniqueness of this watch lies in its celestial details.

Look for the watch’s release later this year.
