OVD Mars Mission Automatic Black

300 days – sufficient time for a spacecraft making the journey from earth to the 5,500km-away Red Planet, Mars. Human missions to Mars is not a new idea throughout the humankind history. The possibility of human missions to Mars has been being studied since 1950. The same goal is shared among many government space agencies including NASA and ESA. NASA even topped its priority over moon mission in 2010 expecting a manned Mars mission in the 2030s.

The dial is certainly the most ambitious move of Mars Mission. A 3D Mars coated with red Swiss luminescent Super-Luminova is implanted in the centre of the dial. Upon light absorption, the implanted 3D Mars glows in reddish iron in darkness. The implanted Mars is filled with aluminum, covered with embossing techniques to create a rugged surface effect. The dial is surrounded by 3D indexes to further energize the watch. Random Brush technique together with vintage effect is applied onto the dial ring to resemble the rocky appearance of Mars.
