METEOR SHOWER

The new Moonwatch from Omega actually offers a meteorite dial made from a solid piece of extra-terrestrial stone The secrets of the universe remain a mystery; decoding it completely may still be light years away, but you can attempt a second best by wearing a real piece of space on your wrist. This exceptional Moonwatch model, added to the Omega collection, combines elements of celestial inspirations. The highlight of this watch is its incredible meteorite dial. In each timepiece, the dial has been made from a solid piece of extra-terrestrial stone. Omega’s “meteorite dial” has been sourced from slices of the Gibeon meteorite that fell in prehistoric times in Namibia. The Widmanstätten pattern, named after the Austrian scientist who discovered it, refers to the ribbon-like flecks that are found in this kind of meteorite after an acid etch. What makes this even more exclusive is that not only is the pattern clearly visible, but it is unique to each model. With the Speedmaster’s hoary connection to space, this timepiece is a marvellous tribute to past collections. Clearly, space isn’t the final frontier any more.
