Omega New Supermaster "Apollo 11" 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Watch

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon, Omega released the limited edition version of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 series, with a limited edition of 1,014 pieces and a 5-year warranty on Omega. The Omega Speedmaster series "Apollo 11" 50th Anniversary Limited Edition is based on the classic design of the Supermaster watch BA145.022. The case is made of Omega's innovative 18K alloy and equipped with the new Omega 3861 to the Observatory manual. Winding movement.

The case, bracelet, and dial of the new watch are made of MoonshineTM 18K gold. MoonshineTM 18K gold is a new alloy with a unique color inspired by the moonlight that glides into the night sky. Compared to the traditional yellow 18K gold, MoonshineTM 18K gold has a longer lasting color and luster.

The Omega Supermaster replica watch features a classic asymmetric case of the fourth-generation Omega Speedmaster Professional watch with a case diameter of 42 mm and polished and brushed. The bracelet consists of five arched links arranged side by side, also polished and brushed, with a folding clasp engraved with a vintage Omega brand logo. The bezel of the new timepiece retains the burgundy red of the 1969 commemorative watch and is made of zirconia ceramic (ZrO2), an innovative process of Omega. The speed scale on the bezel is made by OMEGA Ceragold technology. It follows the design of the Omega Speedmaster watch speedometer in the 1960s. The speed scale is up to "500", and the circle with the scale "90" is above the number. This bezel detail is also called "Dot Over 90" or "DON".

The watch features a full-gold “stepped” dial that is brushed vertically and marked with the “Au750” mark on the dial. The hour markers are made of delicately cut black onyx, and the hour and minute hands, the central chronograph second hand and the small dial hands are covered with black lacquer to make the watch even more eye-catching.

The back and outer ring of the new watch is engraved with the words “Master Chronometer” and “1969-2019” and the limited number. The words “1969-2019” and the limited number are embellished with burgundy red.

The map of the world that symbolizes the Earth consists of blue ocean and golden continents. The American continent also includes the Cape Canaveral of the NASA manned space mission (known as Kennedy from 1963 to 1973). . The pattern that symbolizes the moon is made of ochre inlays.

More subtly, the ratio of the size of the Earth and the Moon pattern on the back of the watch is the same as its true ratio (the diameter ratio is 3.67:1). This ingenious design complements the craftsmanship to make the watch even more unique.

Polished “APOLLO 11 – 50th ANNIVERSARY” and “THE FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON” are on the black matte background of the back of the case.
