The Apollo collection was originally conceived as a horological tribute to the historic Apollo 11 lunar mission—a symbol of humanity’s defiance of limits. Today, this iconic lineage evolves with a refined, downsized iteration in 316L stainless steel. While the new Apollo preserves the soul of the original 1.0 model, it introduces a series of sophisticated enhancements designed for the modern enthusiast. Retaining its signature DNA, the collection features flat sapphire crystals, solid screw-down casebacks, and the distinctive 4 o'clock crown, now offered in five evocative dial colorways. Each dial utilizes a complex two-layer sandwich construction, where precision cut-outs for the hour markers create a captivating sense of depth and architectural hierarchy.
The design language of the Apollo is a direct nod to the golden age of space exploration. From the rocket-silhouette indices to the spacecraft-inspired handset, every element serves as a visual metaphor for discovery. This creative vision is anchored by the ergonomic screw-down crown at 4 o’clock, a placement that reinforces the watch’s sporty, tool-watch character. The sandwich dial isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it is a masterclass in legibility. By applying a dual-color Super-LumiNova scheme across the different models, PHOIBOS ensures a brilliant, high-contrast glow that evokes a futuristic aura without compromising professional functionality.
In response to the demand for a more versatile footprint, this new iteration translates the bold presence of the Apollo 1.0 into a meticulously proportioned 39mm x 46mm case. With a slim profile of just 11mm, the watch offers an "on-wrist" experience that is both commanding and understated. The collection expands to ten distinct models, including variants finished in a deep gunmetal Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). This high-tech coating does more than just provide a stealthy, masculine aesthetic; it serves as an hard shield, offering superior scratch resistance to the underlying steel.
The 316L stainless steel editions feature a sophisticated satin-brushed finish across the case, ceramic bezel, and bracelet. Despite the fully brushed execution, the interplay of light across the different facets reveals a surprising amount of nuanced depth. Complementing this robust build is a tapered H-link bracelet, engineered for maximum ergonomics. Equipped with quick-release spring bars and a tool-less, on-the-fly adjustable clasp, the bracelet allows for millimetric precision in sizing and instantaneous strap changes, adapting perfectly to the wearer’s environment.
Powering the new Apollo is the premium Japanese Miyota 9015 caliber. This automatic movement is a favorite among purists for its slimness, reliability, and precision. With a water resistance rating of 20 ATM (200 meters) and the added protection of its DLC-hardened exterior, the Apollo is engineered to withstand the rigors of the world's toughest expeditions.
The latest Apollo iterations are the most compact and refined to date—proven instruments that are ready to meet the challenges of any frontier. The countdown has ended; your new adventure begins with the PHOIBOS Apollo.
