We covered it in-depth here, but also decided to shoot a video with this new ceramic Speedmaster.If the video above doesn t play, please visit our?YouTube channel to?watch it there.Inspired by Apollo 8In this video, I went through the background story with NASA (Apollo 8). This is important, as it was the inspiration for Omega to go gray with the ceramic Speedmaster. You will also see how it looks on the wrist from different angles and get a closer look at its new caliber 3869. This 3861-based movement features laser ablation on the bridges to mimic the Moon s surface.Enjoy the video!
