Newly Acquired Omega Apollo 8 Dark Side of The Moon

Amazing Dial and Case back

The yellow and black scheme works for me every time

Congrats. Wear it in good health. I believe it's their best Speedy bc it combines the best of both worlds: Very sporty looking & a great tool watch.

thank you all!

i am glad this is a manual winding piece compared to the rest of the collection from dark side of the moon

It’s a beautiful reference.
What’s the dial material?

Amazing watch, congrats!

How does the 44mm case size feel in the wrist compared to the regular Speedy Pro?

Just saw this in person today. What a spectacular watch. Was buying something different and almost changed my mind when I put this on.

Congrats!
