Now, with this Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 Luxury Replica Watches we see yet another of those rare occasions when a brand listened and brought us a hot new release that answered their cries – even if this meant going against previous self-imposed rules or breaking through hitherto sacred glass ceilings in creativity. Behold, the slimmest and most wearable Omega DSotM yet.
Beyond the issue of movements, Omega has also shown off its capabilities of – finally! – getting genuinely creative with the original Moonwatch look and produced something that, now that it’s here, makes me want to ask “why didn’t this happen sooner?” Again, I think we’ll agree it is exceedingly rare that we see major brands take this much liberty with a core product. To spice things up, Omega Swiss Replica Watches not only took things all the way, but have not chickened out of making the Speedmaster Apollo 8 a non-limited edition.
Cutting to the chase here, the reduction in thickness is as noticeable as it is awesome. That is very noticeable and very awesome. The previous versions were quite a bit of a burger, something they made up for with their bad ass space-age, Omega Replica Watches black/grey/white ceramic Speedmaster vibe. The Speedmaster Apollo 8 serves as a remarkably intelligent, creative, and likable middle-ground between the badassery of the DSotM series and the romantic Moon/NASA story-telling of the regular Moonwatch.
Losing the thick automatic winding construction meant that the case of the Copy Omega Watches Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 could be 2.5mm thinner than those of previous DSotM watches, therefore now coming in at “just” 13.8mm thick. Yeah, that’s still substantial but, as you can see a few shots further above, this means that the watch can now at last lay flat on its lugs, as any dignified, non-obese watch case on a leather/canvas strap should be able to do.
