Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 Ceramic Skeleton 2025

Omega’s Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” Apollo 8 ref. 310.92.44.50.01.001 is a theatrically executed tribute to the 1968 mission, combining a full black ceramic 44.25 mm case with a deeply reworked, partially skeletonized dial that exposes a laser‑engraved lunar surface across the movement. The case, bezel, and caseback are all fashioned from zirconium oxide ceramic, giving the watch a stealthy matte‑black presence while keeping weight low and scratch resistance high, and the updated case profile wears slimmer at around 13 mm with lyre lugs echoing vintage Speedmasters. Across the front, the openworked dial shows the “near side” of the Moon in intricate relief, framed by a racing minute track, applied darkened indices, and bold yellow chronograph accents, including a varnished central chronograph seconds hand and a three‑dimensional small‑seconds hand shaped like a Saturn V rocket in titanium. Inside, the hand‑wound calibre 3869—an evolution of the 3861—brings Co‑Axial escapement, silicon hairspring, Master Chronometer certification, and around 50 hours of power reserve, while its reverse side displays a darker rendering of the Moon’s far side through the sapphire back, surrounded by commemorative engravings such as “We’ll see you on the other side.” Completing the package is a perforated black rubber strap with yellow lining and a folding clasp, which reinforces the technical, modern tool‑watch character of this highly detailed, concept‑driven Speedmaster.
