If you’re callous and cynical like me, the words “Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Special Edition” will send a shiver down your spine. Of course, Omega’s fabled Moonwatch is a hallowed and exquisite piece of not only timekeeping, but history as well, and one of the last bastions of the watchmaking of old still available today-but that doesn’t mean that Omega hasn’t flogged the special edition horse until it’s just a pile of dry, dry bones. But not every special edition is just a lazy attempt to cash in. Some are better than others, and the Moonwatch Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 special edition is the best we’ve had in a decade.

@DeadGlassEyes 4 года назад

@@DjVader112 It's all about the setting. Watches look better in a warm setting with good lighting. A Rolex will look much better in this setting than say in a Rolex showroom where there are a lot of harsh lights and you're basically holding the watch up against mostly glass and bright lights. It's all about the setting, he can't make the watches look better or worse.

I struggeld to buy this watch for several month because it exceeds my monetary limit by quite some amount. To make it short, it was one of the best dicisions that i have ever made, I love it every day that I wear it and I couldnt be any more happy with it. It really is a masterpiece. So go ahead. If you can afford it, go get one.

I just wanna say that the cinematography in this video, all of them, is amazing. Use of a macro lens reveals so much detail unseen to the eye. Also, I love the way the frame sweeps across the watch, or stays focused on a movement in the watch. There's always purpose to what the camera is doing and that is something very hard to achieve. Great video as always!

@Rabauke2.0 4 года назад

@Alex LeGenTle I think we have to sort out what we mean by Hommage watches. Hommage watches are watches of known brands that copy a certain design, for example Steinhart are doing Homage to Rolex obviously. This might not be everybody’s watch but legally it’s totally fine. Replicas on the other hand are some Chinese watches with no real brand that copy not only the design but rather steal the design and the exact measurements etc. That is criminal and it’s really poor buying those and pretending to have to have the real deal.

@niallvbrennan6629 4 года назад

Great to see Apollo 8 remembered. I think we also forget that 12 astronauts walked on the moon. Brave men all. Thanks to videos like this (and I cant think of any quite as good as this), I plan to buy a Moonwatch later this year, in recognition of the inspirational achievemens of the Apollo programme. While it is, in essence, just a watch, I think it would be difficult to remain solely immersed in worldly cares when looking at a watch that is so closely tied to one of Mankind's greatest achievements. Wonderful video, please keep up the good work☘
