A unique touch is the small-seconds subdial hand, crafted from grade 5 titanium and designed in the likeness of the Saturn V rocket. The Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869, a manual-winding movement, keeps this celestial timepiece ticking for 50 hours. Secured on a black rubber strap with a yellow interior, this watch is a tribute to the Apollo 8 mission and a conversation starter for any wrist.
