Footnote
First released in 2018, the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Apollo 8 mission. The mission carried NASA astronauts James Lovell Jr, Frank Borman II, and William Anders around the moon ten times before returning to earth. It marked the first crewed spacecraft to leave Earth’s orbit, as well as the first occasion humans laid eyes on the ‘dark side’ of the moon.
