The Spaceship Though

So what do we think of Omega's new release - Dark Side Of The Moon | Apollo 8?

It's obviously beautiful, ceramic case, 44mm, stunning details and I personally love the black and yellow combo (og batman) but I don't know, I want more. I want something different, we know speedmaster, it's a beauty, we've seen it in multiple forms, colors and styles, I kinda want to see the Omega design language work it's magic on new models, not on new colors.

What do you guys think?

I think it’s done very well I like the rocket ship, moon dial, and attention to detail.

·

You know it's actually called the far side of the Moon in astrophysics, right?

Omega designers listening to too much Pink Floyd aside (if that's even possible?). That would drive me nuts I think...

I'm just being cheeky, of course, and am a total Omega fanboy 😆

·

Love it. Would love it more if my wrist was large enough to also love it 😔

·

I’m a sucker for anything moon and space program related. I like it although it won’t be on my buy list.

·

That’s a badass wqtch

·

That is just too gimmicky for me. The 3D Saturn V as the hand of a sub dial specifically.

Where will it all stop, if ever?

·

The target market for this watch would be someone that loves the speedy but find the classic design a bit bland and wants more pop on their wrists, so the spaceship is a very welcoming addition in my opinion.

Not for me though, I still prefer the og.

·

Damn, this is gorgeous. Love it.

Another limited edition Speedmaster.

This must be Tuesday.

·

I don’t find it offensive or anything, but it does look a bit silly.

·

too big for my tastes, but i adore that rocket.

·

They are really hanging onto that moon heritage aren't they?

·

To cool to big

·

I can't believe they found a way to be sillier and less dignified, but they did.

A liquid bubble "splashdown" capsule subdial would be nice...😁

I don’t call myself that because it’s funny, Simply truth in advertising.

That. Is. Awesome.

I appreciate the attention to detail, but it reminds me of a Hallmark Christmas ornament 🤷‍♂️

It’d be funny if it was a submarine…

I think the term "less is more" really went out of fashion

I'm more of a purist when it comes to the speedmaster but the details on this watch are super cool! I'd love to see it in the metal but for my taste, I'd still choose to go with the original hesalite version
