LUXURY WATCHES

OMEG

BLACK BLACK DARK SIDE OF THE MOON It was the adventures and the accomplishments of the Apollo 8 astronauts that inspired the allblack, ceramic Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, but it is the mystique of the Earth’s nightlight and its ever-changing yet constant presence that has spurred the creation of the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon "Black Black".

This 44.25 mm model has a polished and brushed black ceramic casebody, a ma black ceramic dial and a black ceramic clasp on a black coated nylon fabric strap.

| 86 |

Giving this model its nickname are its brushed blackened Moonwatch-style hands and blackened applied indexes – all of which are coated with black Super-LumiNova. The familiar sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock are also ma black and the black ceramic bezel has a black lacquered tachymeter scale. At its heart is the OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300.

INSPIRED BY A LEGACY This timepiece is the product of groundbreaking technologies: it is craed from a single block of black zirconium oxide ceramic. The OMEGA Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” redefines the iconic design of the Moonwatch and its name evokes the mysteriousness and allure of space.

ZIRCONIUM OXIDE MATERIAL The black zirconium oxide ceramic dial is complemented by a matching ceramic 44.25 mm case with a brushed and polished ceramic casebody. The two polished ceramic chronograph control pushers on the case function totally independently - accordingly, there is no risk to the chronograph mechanism as a result of inadvertent manipulation.

EXTENDING THE CERAMIC SPEEDMASTER FAMILY Rhapsodized, romanticized and analysed, the Moon has always enchanted us. It was the adventures and the accomplishments of the Apollo 8 astronauts that inspired the all-black, ceramic Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, but it is the mystique of the Earth’s nightlight that has spurred the creation of four new OMEGA timepieces that are now part of the collection. hps://www.omegawatches.com/watches/spee dmaster/moonwatch/omega-co-axialchronograph/31192445101005/
