Unlike the regular Dark Side of the Moon chronographs that are fitted with calibre 9300, Omega’s proprietary automatic co-axial movement, the Omega Replica Watches Apollo 8 flaunts manual-winding calibre 1869, a version of Omega’s celebrated calibre 1861. The dial of the Apollo 8 is a radical departure from other dials in the Dark Side collection and abandons the twin sub-dial layout and date window in favour of a more traditional display of three counters with no date.
