The Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon”, with case, bezel, pushers, crown, dial and the buckle in ceramic, retails for $12,000.
This is the procedure of the making of the impressive ceramic watch, as Perpetuelle explains:
The case is heated at 1,400 degrees Celsius so it shrinks to the right size
The ceramic casebody has to be machined with diamond tools
The manual quality control of the ceramic casebody
Laser technology is used to engrave the defining tachymeter on the bezel
18 K white gold indexes are placed by hand
The Apollo 8 astronauts were the first people to see the dark side of the moon with their own eyes. The black ceramic Co-Axial Speedmaster salutes their pioneering spirit and pays homage to the Speedmaster Professional chronographs worn by every Apollo astronaut.
