Omega Speedmaster 311.92.44.30.01.001 Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 Edition Black Ceramic Black Dial (2021)

In Omega Speedmaster 311.92.44.30.01.001 Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 Edition Black Ceramic Black Dial (2021), a chronograph is presented through a ceramic case, a white dial, and a manual-winding movement.

Launched to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this groundbreaking achievement in space exploration, this reference advances Omega's Dark Side of the Moon collection through innovative use of laser-ablation technology applied directly to the movement itself creating a three-dimensional representation of the lunar surface visible through both the skeletonized dial showing the near side familiar to Earth observers and transparent caseback revealing the mysterious far side astronauts experienced.

The skeletonized black dial reveals the specially decorated manual-winding Caliber 1869 movement with main plate and bridges laser-ablated to create remarkably detailed three-dimensional lunar surface texture in lighter shade representing the near side visible from Earth with landscape full of craters, applied blackened index hour markers with luminous fill, blackened hour and minute hands with luminous fill, varnished yellow central chronograph seconds hand with luminous tip providing distinctive contrast against black background, small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock, 30-minute totalizer at 3 o'clock, 12-hour totalizer at 6 o'clock, approximately a 48-hour power reserve.

Black perforated leather strap with yellow rubber interior and yellow decorative stitching secures with black ceramic tang buckle.

This timepiece comes with the Operating Instruction Book, warranty card holder, and pouch.

The watch dates to 2021; it is described in new condition and is offered with its original box and original papers.
