Fantastic choice. Love it.

Each 1mm of speedmaster to commemorate each year of service.. ok not the most accurate symbolism on my part but you know what I mean.

Is the dial finish a representation of the lunar surface? And, Omega 1869? What are the differences between it and the 1861 movements?
Congratulations, again, I'm two years away from my self-imposed date. Working for the people, at Amazon, and still enjoying most of what I do.

The finish on the dial is how you would see the moons surface looking at it from earth, the finish on the back is how the Apollo 8 astronauts would have seen the surface of the dark side of the moon.
I'm not sure what the differences in the movements are though.

Re: I've Gone To The Dark Side ( My Retirement Watch )
Thank you all for your great comments and congratulations.
I retired on July 14th and I'm still finding it strange knowing that I won't be going back to RR, but I'm sure I'll get used to it before to long
Photos really don't do this watch justice, it really is a stunning piece.

Re: I've Gone To The Dark Side ( My Retirement Watch )
I think that’s a brilliant way of looking at it!
Congratulations on your retirement and commemorating it with such a magnificent watch.
I’ll raise a glass to you tonight.

By the way, if I were to celebrate my retirement with the dark side of the moon, it would probably have to be a first press of the Pink Floyd album, as that’s probably all I could afford!
