A LONG, LONG TIME AGO, 1968 to be exact, in the galaxy we call home, history was made when Apollo 8 became the first human flight to ever orbit the Moon. Aboard that pioneering mission, each astronaut was equipped with an Omega Speedmaster – a tool that was relied upon throughout NASA’s lunar campaign.
The Moon’s distant surface has always been a source of mystery and curiosity. To wear an Omega Speedmaster is to make an authentic connection with our lunar neighbour, as well as Omega’s own connection to space exploration. As the world now looks further ahead to the possibilities of the future, the Apollo 8 mission stands as a reminder of what shared human power can achieve.
Kicking off 2024 with an homage to the historic feat, Omega has launched the second edition of the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 timepiece, first released in 2018 to mark the 50th anniversary of the mission. This time, the brand has elevated the same design with an even finer level of detailing and refinement.
