We’ll See You on the Other Side

January 17, 2024 – Five years ago in 2018 Omega dropped the Dark Side of the Moon Speedmaster on us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Apollo 8 mission. The stunning and collectible Omega gets a revamp this year, and what a piece it is. Now with a clear caseback, and engraved with the famous line of astronaut Jim Lovell just before he went out of radio contact behind the moon, “We’ll see you on the other side.”

The dial moves from a plain black to a laser etched representation of the moon as seen from earth, whilst a close look through the clear caseback shows some parts etched with the unseen dark side of the moon.

A special nod should be given here to the super cool seconds subdial which has a miniature NASA Saturn V rocket in place of a hand. We like this very much!

We can see these flying off the shelves, an iconic moment in time and space travel, perfectly captured in a beautiful timepiece.
