Hi everyone,
Im pretty new here. Today i will present you my omega watch that i builded.

So somehow got Calibre 1869, but the problem was how to get the case. This caliber is from watch known as
THE SPEEDMASTER "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" APOLLO 8, which has ceramic case and you cannot buy second hand case for this model.

Then i got idea to put this movement in MoonWatch because it fits.
So for the base case i used 145.022 case & bracelet provided by one of your members @https://omegaforums.net/members/ajwala.53058/ big thanks to him!.
So then my watchsmith started to put things together :

But the thing was the ordinary moonwatch dial was to oridinary dial for me, so i got myself a Apollo 11 35th anniversary panda dial
So here it is my first omega my omega Apollo 8 to 11 panda, Stay calm and enjoy the watch 😉


BTW: Im looking for Sapphire-glass Caseback so that i can always look on the moon surface and also looking for omega coin/meddalion that fits in omega big box if anyone is willing to sell , PM me please.

Best regards,
Robert


could you tell me how to get 35th anniversary panda dial and hands?

That movement looks better than any other Speedmaster variant thorough the caseback, even better than the skeletonized ones. Incredible.

I was looking forward to the Apollo 8 dial in a SS case 🙁

Agree, as stellar as that case back is, the Apollo 8 stainless steel would be one for the ages.

maybe to polish the " AND ONLY " away so the project gets credibility 😉

Love the creativity - although I have to say the yellow sub-dial hands were cool. Looks great!
