Here, five gentleman timepieces to help you look the part.
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 8 moon mission. In order to commemorate the momentous event, Omega aptly released the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 timepiece. Why the Speedmaster? Well, after all, it is the model which has been trusted by astronauts during greatest missions, and yes, including the Apollo 8 in 1968. The expertly skeletonised dial reveals the blackened movement with realistic imagery of the lunar surface inside. To contrast the dark tone, yellow is used on the chronograph hands while the watch tachymeter scale and crown are filled with SuperLuminova. The phrase “We’ll see you on the other side” uttered by Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell is engraved on the caseback.
