The OVD Mars Mission , a technological feat!
300 days is the time it takes for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to the red planet, Mars.
The dial is certainly the most ambitious movement of Mars Mission. The 3D planet Mars implanted in the center of the dial is covered with red Swiss Super-Luminova luminescent. When absorbing light, Mars will glow in reddish iron in the dark. It is covered with an embossing technique to create a robust surface effect. The dial is surrounded by 3D indexes to further energize the watch. The Random Brush technique as well as the vintage effect are applied to the dial ring to resemble the rocky appearance of Mars.
Countless hours were spent on the development process of the Mars Mission watch. Instead of following the existing standard like others, the designer took on the technical challenge with a revolutionary idea: placing the hour disc below the Mars 3D and the curved minute hand above the Mars 3D. Via Mars 3D glowing in the dark, the shadow of the minute hand on top indicates the minutes while the luminescent hour disc below indicates the time.
The truncated cone-shaped crown is etched with layers of chipped grids. The design concept comes from the unique appearance of NASA's Orion-MPCV. The Orion-MPCV is a NASA spacecraft built to take humans further than ever before.
Just looking at the wrist, one can find the place where the case articulates perfectly with the sapphire crystal. This concept is derived from the simplified design of the UFO. The 43.5mm case diameter is equipped with 316L stainless steel material to demonstrate the perfect scale design. Inspired by NASA's "Mars Rover Concept Vehicle", both sides of the case are embossed with a unique honeycomb pattern.
A blue sunray dial is assembled on the case back. Through the skeletonized case back, you can see and appreciate the movement of the rotor. This design is derived from the solar panels of NASA's Insight Mars Lander. The Mars Mission logo is engraved in the center of the case back.
The curve of the sapphire crystal on the dial has been exquisitely crafted, almost transparent. The double-layer dome is made from sapphire raw materials, followed by a special cold grinding procedure to achieve such an extreme curve. In order to reduce excessive reflections, the glass is treated with an anti-reflective coating that allows wearers to read the crystal clear dial from any angle.
