Description

Grade 5 Titanium

Titanium alloys are light, corrosion-resistant, biochemically inert and able to withstand extreme temperatures. These properties make them particularly appropriate for products in the aircraft, spacecraft and medical sectors. They achieve the perfect balance between solidity, corrosion-resistance and workability. Grade 5 titanium offers a bright grey colour that is close to that of stainless steel, and suits both "brushed" and "polished" finishing.

Sapphire Crystal

To really appreciate the finer details of a timepiece, OMEGA uses synthetic sapphire crystal with a highly scratch-resistant and anti-reflective treatment. Before the machining and finishing processes take place, the sapphire crystals are produced under the Verneuil process, also called flame fusion. It involves the melting of the raw substance using oxyhydrogen flame and the crystallisation of the melted droplets to form a cylinder. Graded 9 on the Mohs-hardness scale (graded 1-10), the resulting sapphire crystals are virtually scratch-proof and very hard, ensuring an unhindered vision at all times

As a part of all six moon landings in history, the legendary OMEGA Speedmaster is a true icon of space as well as OMEGA’s pioneering spirit.

In this 44.25 mm model, the Speedmaster’s history aboard the Apollo 8 mission is celebrated through the blackened movement, which is laser-ablated on the main plate and bridges to represent the moon’s surface. The near side can be seen through the skeletonized black anodised aluminium dial, while the far side can be seen through the caseback.

Presented on a perforated black rubber strap with yellow rubber interior, the entire watch is black ceramic and includes a varnished yellow chronograph seconds hands and a laser-engraved tachymeter scale on the bezel which is filled with white enamel. The small-seconds subdial (patent pending) also includes a grade 5 titanium hand shaped like the Saturn V rocket. This 3D shape is obtained by laser turning, while the colours are obtained by white varnish, ablation, and laser blackening.

The specially decorated movement is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869, while the engravings on the caseback include “APOLLO 8, DEC 1968”, “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”, “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE”, and "CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER".
