Romain Jerome Moon Dust RJ.MD.AU.401.10 Swiss Automatic Watch with Grey Lunar Dial Bold, artistic, and unmistakably avant-garde — this Romain Jerome Moon Dust RJ.MD.AU.401.10 is a powerful tribute to space exploration, combining Swiss mechanical craftsmanship with authentic historical material linked to the legendary Apollo 11 mission. Part of the iconic Moon Dust collection, this model draws direct inspiration from the surface of the moon. The textured grey dial features recessed circular “crater” details, recreating a realistic lunar landscape with striking depth and character. The sculptural, skeletonized hands contrast beautifully against the matte grey background, ensuring excellent legibility while reinforcing the brand’s bold and futuristic design language.
