Swiss Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8

Omega paid attention to its Seamaster and Seamaster divers series at this year’s international watch and clock show in Basel. Both marks are major anniversaries. However, it should not be ignored that the brand’s most popular Dark Side of the Moon series commemorates NASA’s historic Apollo 8 mission. The new Speedmaster Dark Side of the fake Omega Moon Apollo 8 watch is the first hollow core in the series with special decoration.

Apollo 8 mission was held in 1968, so in 2018 reached its semi-annual (yes, this year’s luxury watches the one year anniversary again) is the United States launched its second manned space shuttle, and the first to leave the earth’s orbit, reach the moon’s orbit, and safe return to earth. The task is more famous 1969 Apollo 11 mission paved the way, the task for the first time to land a man on the moon, in the meantime, Omega Speedmaster replica watches series prove to be the first on the surface of the moon to wear wrist watch, for this model has won the lasting “watch the moon” nickname. The new watch, known for its delicate hollow core, USES laser ablation to decorate both sides of the black motherboard and a realistic lunar surface.

Omega replica watches swiss movement case diameter is 44.26 mm, thickness is 13.8 mm, completely using black zirconia ceramics, will this Speedy firmly fixed in the moon is the dark side of the family, table, and doppler velocimeter tricompax dial and strap are all functional yellow contrast window elements. These elements are chosen in yellow, usually a color associated with speed, dating back to the 1968 Speedmaster Racing car. (as its name implies, the Speedmaster chronometer is a watch designed specifically for time racing and is closely associated with space exploration.) Yellow features include timing clock needle in the middle of the dial, dial on coated with varnish, pointer on small timing pointer at 3 o ‘clock and 6 o ‘clock, black ceramic bezel on the word “TACHYMETRE”, and the tip of the rectangular hour mark.

Black and yellow pattern continues to black pebbles on the leather strap, through a series of micro porous glasses made of special milling tool caught a glimpse of the middle part of yellow rubber, and through comparing stitch at the top of the yellow. The core is based on the first speedmaster watch model in 1969, and Omega’s manual on-chain processor 1861 (itself based on Lemania 1873) has historically been equipped with a chronometer. A hollowed-out version of this kind of special decoration sports legend is known as Caliber 1869, to commemorate the lunar year of 1969, after super table will always be the moon – although people want to know why swiss Omega replica watches is not only change the “8”, in order to make sacrifice more apparent. The machine core can maintain power reserve for 48 hours after complete winding.

Some background will help before we enter the new Apollo 8. In 2013, Omega replica watches shocked everyone by releasing the all-all-black Speedmaster ceramic case and dial, and some serious clocks were also packed under the hood. You can check out the A week on our wristwatch here to see what happened – we now take the wrist watch for granted, but five years ago it sounded crazy. Since then, Omega has slowly iterated, adding some extra color and metal to the mix, but the collection remains fairly limited (at least in the watch collection, at least). What we see here, however, is the first major change in the series, which at first glance seems to be a meaningful improvement in many ways.

Apollo 8 retains one of the best parts of the original dark side. It still has a 44.25mm black ceramic case that looks very sharp on the wrist or on the table. But from there, things began to diverge. First of all, the internal motions are different, and you can see them immediately by observing the dial. The old black side watch has only two sub-registries – one for the left and one for the clock, and one for the clock, and one for the six o ‘clock. The fake Omega watch shows a traditional three-register display with no date. This is because the inside of the machine is the so-called 1869 machine core, which is a version of the 1861 machine core, with some special decorations (more content in one minute).

The most important of the caliber 1869 is the manual chain. Yes, it is here to revert to the old superpowers, but there are many more than just nostalgia. First, you’ll get the dial-up layout I mentioned above, which is very balanced and familiar to most people, and no date (I know you all like it). More importantly, it makes the watch slimmer. By replacing the automatic core and a pair of box crystals, swiss Omega replica watches cut the thickness by 2.5mm, making it only 13.8mm thick.

On a specification sheet, 2.5mm May not sound like a ton, but it is huge. When I put my watch on my wrist for the first time, I really couldn’t believe it. I’ve always liked the dark side, but in fact it’s too big for me. The diameter of 44.25 mm still is much larger than I usually consider – and, in order to record, if Omega replica watches swiss movement to 39 mm even 42 mm size in the production of such things, I will be very excited – but I find that Apollo 8 stunningly comfortable 5-10 minutes or so, I can use it. It’s good, it’s low, and I can see from time to time that I like a watch of this size.
