Second Generation Omega Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8 Watch

The Dark Side of the Moon is the all-ceramic branch of the Omega Speedmaster series (first launched in 2013). In 2018, Omega launched the first-generation “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8. The "Dark Side of the Moon" Apollo 8 is a manual winding chronograph, while the other "Dark Side of the Moon" are all automatic winding chronographs. This makes the Apollo 8 watch the most special one among Omega’s “Dark Side of the Moon”.

The dark side of the moon refers to the dark side of the moon where no light can be seen; Apollo 8 refers to the first time humans took the Apollo 8 spacecraft to reach the dark side of the moon in 1968. This Omega watch is named after this.

This year’s second-generation “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8, in addition to inheriting the main appearance of the first generation, has made important upgrades to the details and replaced it with Omega’s new generation 3861 series manual chronograph movement (specifically 3869). The appearance of the second generation "Dark Side of the Moon" Apollo 8 is very similar to that of the first generation. They both use the same appearance as the regular Speedmaster 1861/3861. They have a black ceramic case with a size of 44.25 mm. The dial is partially hollowed out and has crater engravings on the lunar surface. . But a closer look at the dial reveals an important difference. The second-generation Apollo 8, the small seconds dial at 9 o'clock, used a "rocket" as the small second hand, while the first generation had an ordinary second hand.

The second-generation "Dark Side of the Moon" Apollo 8 uses the shape of the Saturn 5 launch vehicle, because the Apollo 8 spacecraft was launched into space by the Saturn 5 in 1968. The rocket second hand on the watch is a 1:19000 miniature model of Saturn 5, made of titanium. At the same time, I also put the real photos of Saturn 5 here, which shows that the degree of restoration is very high.
