OMEGA has introduced a stunning new chapter in its iconic Speedmaster story with seven new models under the Dark Side of the Moon collection. These watches celebrate the Apollo 8 lunar mission — the first time humans orbited the Moon — while showing off OMEGA’s constant innovation in design, materials, and precision watchmaking.
The new collection brings together years of technical progress, especially in how OMEGA works with ceramic materials. Each watch features a refined 44.25 mm case, now with a slimmer and more comfortable fit. The new ceramic polishing process gives the cases extra shine and depth, while Liquidmetal™ technology adds strength and scratch resistance to the bezels and crowns.
OMEGA also introduces a two-layer ceramic dial, giving the face of each watch a unique 3D look that changes beautifully under the light. Every model is Master Chronometer certified, guaranteeing exceptional accuracy and durability under magnetic fields.
Among the seven new watches are several standouts:
-
The Slim Black Edition (Calibre 9908) – a sleek, manual-winding version with a matte black dial, grey and red detailing, and a sportier look.
-
Dark Side of the Moon (Calibre 9900) – reimagined with a Liquidmetal™ tachymeter scale and layered ceramic dial for added visual depth.
-
All-Black Edition (Calibre 9900) – featuring darkened movement parts, a black enamel tachymeter, and a laser-textured ceramic dial.
-
Apollo 8 Commemorative Edition (Calibre 3869) – the showstopper of the lineup, with a skeletonized dial revealing a laser-engraved lunar surface, showing the Moon’s near side on the front and the far side on the back — an artistic tribute to space exploration.
For comfort and style, OMEGA has refreshed its strap designs. The nylon straps now feature rubber lining, while the rubber straps have lunar surface patterns underneath, adding a fun, tactile reminder of the collection’s space inspiration.
This new generation of Speedmasters not only honors OMEGA’s rich space heritage but also represents a bold step into the future of watchmaking. Each model blends technical mastery, modern design, and storytelling in true Speedmaster fashion.
