Professional Space Collection
Inspired by the historic Apollo 8 mission, the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon pays tribute to the astronauts who first orbited the Moon and revealed its hidden side to humanity. Crafted entirely from black ceramic, it combines bold contemporary design with one of the most significant stories in space exploration.
Powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869, this exceptional chronograph features a skeletonised movement laser-engraved to replicate the lunar surface, visible from both the dial and caseback. Distinctive yellow accents and the unique Saturn V rocket seconds hand reinforce its connection to the pioneering Apollo program.
Designed for collectors who appreciate innovation and history, the Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 is a remarkable expression of Swiss engineering and enduring legacy in space.
