Romain Jerome Moon Dust RJ.MD.AU.701.20
Swiss Automatic Watch with Red Lunar Dial

Bold, artistic, and unmistakably avant-garde — this Romain Jerome Moon Dust RJ.MD.AU.701.20 is a striking 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 reinterprets the surface of the moon in a vivid deep red tone, creating a dramatic and highly distinctive presence on the wrist. The textured dial features recessed circular “crater” details, forming a sculptural lunar landscape with remarkable depth and character.

The skeletonized hands contrast powerfully against the intense red background, ensuring strong legibility while reinforcing the brand’s bold and futuristic design language.

Apollo 11 Heritage – A Piece of Space History

What makes this watch truly exceptional is that elements of the case incorporate authentic steel sourced from Apollo 11, the historic 1969 mission that carried the first humans to the moon.

By integrating material connected to Apollo 11 into the case construction, Romain Jerome created more than a luxury watch — it is a wearable fragment of space history.

This gives the watch:

Genuine historical significance

Strong collector appeal

A symbolic link to the first moon landing

Exceptional rarity within modern Swiss watchmaking

Few contemporary timepieces can claim such a meaningful and tangible connection to one of humanity’s greatest achievements.
