One bonus i have noticed recently is that the rehaute is black, I was fitting a plexy to one the other week and it looked black anodized or something

Crap end links on that though

The missing chunk of earth is actually the moon's shadow as depicted in the astronauts suit patch.

And you are right Toad, this is a very beautiful piece when seen first hand.

Thanks for the explanation, andreww, I didn't realize Omega was trying to match that shadow from the mission patch. But I still maintain that their engraver screwed up by indicating the shadow with a jagged line, and leaving what looks like Alaska floating in space!

The patch/image doesn't depict a shadow being cast on the Earth. That is simply the night side of the Earth.

When the moon does cast a shadow on the Earth, its called a solar eclipse. And, even then, the shadow only covers a small portion of the Earth's surface.
