The Enchanting Lollipop Seconds Hand

A Tribute to the OMEGA Speedmaster CK 2998-3 FAP
This Mission to the Moon watch is a heartfelt tribute to the iconic OMEGA Speedmaster CK 2998-3 FAP, a legendary timepiece from 1961. It pays homage to the last Speedmaster with the 2998 reference that boasted the distinctive chronograph lollipop seconds hand. This design element is a nod to the rich heritage of the Speedmaster collection. While the CK 2998-3 itself did not go to space, its predecessor, the CK 2998, was one of the watches tested by NASA during the selection process for astronaut timepieces. Its rarity and historical significance make it a collector's dream, as it represents an early version of the Speedmaster series.
The Radiance of Moonshine™ Gold
OMEGA's Moonshine™ Gold, introduced in 2019, is the secret behind the radiant lollipop seconds hand. This exclusive yellow gold alloy is inspired by the luminous glow of moonlight against a deep blue night sky. It adds a touch of celestial brilliance to the Mission to the Moon timepiece, making it a true work of art.
A Magical Secret: Full Moon Production
The Mission to the Moon's lollipop seconds hand is no ordinary feature. As revealed in the watch's certificate, it is produced exclusively during full moon dates. Full moons have long been associated with a sense of magic and wonder, influencing various aspects of our world. This makes the watch's creation process even more captivating.
