A Legacy Tied to the Moon
In 1968, when Apollo 8 became the first human mission to orbit the Moon, each astronaut carried an Omega Speedmaster. As command module pilot Jim Lovell signed off with the words, “We’ll see you on the other side,” Omega’s watchmaking heritage became inseparable from humanity’s greatest adventure.
More than five decades later, Omega honours that legacy with a bold new chapter — seven Speedmaster models across four expressive dials that push the limits of ceramic craftsmanship while embodying the pioneering spirit that has guided the brand to the Moon and beyond.
Technical and Aesthetic Breakthroughs
Twelve years after the original Dark Side of the Moon captivated collectors, this 2025 evolution represents a technical and aesthetic leap. Each model reveals a sleeker silhouette, refined case architecture, and Omega’s most advanced Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibres, developed over four years of meticulous innovation.
The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer’s expertise in ceramic engineering reaches new heights through bevelled, polished finishes that reveal striking depth and contrast. Liquidmetal™ technology enhances bezels and crowns, while dual-layer ceramic dials, laser-brushed to perfection, capture the light beautifully.
Highlights of the New Speedmasters
Among the standout pieces:
- A new manual-winding Black Edition Co-Axial Master Chronometer 9908 with matte grey and red detailing.
- A reworked classic Dark Side with a refined two-plate dial and tachymeter scale.
- A tribute to the Apollo 8 crew featuring a laser-ablated lunar surface that reveals the Moon’s near and far sides through the openworked dial and caseback.
Completing the design evolution, Omega debuts new rubber and nylon straps — engineered with lunar motifs and enhanced comfort lining.
From Moonlight to Masterpiece
With these new Speedmaster creations, Omega transforms moonlight into material — an ode to the darkness that inspires discovery.
