OVD Full Moon Automatic Black
NASA successfully launched Artemis 1 on November 16, 2022, from Launch Complex 39B (LC-39B) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA's Artemis 1 mission marked the agency's return to lunar exploration five decades after the Apollo program, signaling a new era of spaceflight. By 2025, we may see astronauts walking on the lunar surface once again, thanks to advancements in technology, which will allow for more detailed exploration and inspire future generations of space explorers.
As a micro-brand, OVD is thrilled to introduce their new NASA-themed watch, a dream come true for our brand since its inception in 2016. This exciting moment brings together their passion for aerospace and space exploration along with their commitment to quality watchmaking. The M1's seconds movement features an innovative 3D moon that rotates in a luminous glory, serving as a seconds counter that’s in constant rotation when fully charged. The Swiss Superluminova coating and special printing technology bring the centerpiece to life, creating a truly groundbreaking design.
To achieve the cratered effect on the moon's surface, we utilized embossing techniques. However, the curved edges of the case back presented a significant challenge in the stamping process. After numerous trials and adjustments, OVD successfully overcame this obstacle, resulting in a concave case back that fits comfortably around the wrist. The M1's case design, drawing inspiration from space stations, features 316L stainless steel with a fine sandblasted finish. The case shape is specifically crafted to house an extremely domed sapphire crystal, giving it a futuristic appearance reminiscent of a space station.
OVD invested a significant amount of time and effort into perfecting the design of the 3D rotating moon, which involved addressing various challenges such as weight, timekeeping, material selection, color calibration, and shock resistance. The most critical aspect of the process was the assembly of the moon, as it required their skilled technicians to use their extensive experience and focus to complete the intricate assembly process.
