It was the adventures and the accomplishments of the Apollo 8 astronauts that inspired the all-black, ceramic Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, but it is the mystique of the Earth’s nightlight and its ever-changing yet constant presence that has spurred the creation of the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon “Vintage Black”.
This 44.25 mm model stands out with brown indexes and hands, which complement the “vintage” Super-LumiNova. The brushed ceramic bezel has a “vintage” Super-LumiNova tachymeter scale and the matt ceramic dial has been created using laser technology.
The “Vintage Black” has blackened central hands and varnished brown hands on the sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock. Another distinguishing feature is the brown leather strap which gives this innovative timepiece a more classic appearance. At its heart is the OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300.
Omega is one of the most iconic watch brands in the world. Founded in 1848 in La Chaux-de- Fonds, Switzerland, by Louis Brandt, Omega has become one of the most sought-after brands for luxury watches. Omega has become a symbol of luxury, sophistication, and precision from its humble beginnings. In 1894, Omega introduced the first mass-produced movement, the 19-line pocket watch. This marked the beginning of Omega’s reputation for being a leader in precision and accuracy. By the early 1900s, Omega was the most famous watch brand in Europe and had established itself as a leader in the watchmaking industry. In 1932, Omega introduced the first waterproof watch, the Marine. This revolutionized the industry and made Omega the go-to choice for those who needed a reliable and accurate timepiece. In 1957, Omega made history with the introduction of the Speedmaster watch.
This timepiece was the first to be worn in space, with the first astronaut using one during his mission to the moon. This solidified Omega’s reputation for being reliable and precise and is still the most famous watch for astronauts. In 1969, Omega released the Seamaster, designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. This watch has become one of the most popular dive watches in the world and is often seen on the wrists of celebrities and athletes. Today, Omega continues to be one of the most famous watch brands in the world. Its timeless designs and reliable movements have made it a favorite of watch enthusiasts and collectors alike. The brand also continues to innovate and create new styles, such as its technologically-advanced Co-Axial movement, which has been a game-changer for the industry.
