Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Ceramic

Undoubtedly, the Speedmaster is the model that has largely made Omega what the brand is over the last 50 years, and for this reason, it is this model that first comes to mind in the imagination of every watch enthusiast at the mention of the brand. Of course, the credit for this goes to the series of so-called “moon Speedmasters”, but there are several others that deservedly hold a place of honor on the lists of the model's admirers. The theme of Space and especially the moon is very valuable to Omega – because it is thanks to it that Omega is where it is today and has remained at the forefront of favorite brands for more than 60 years. We can only say that the timepiece is truly impressive and unfortunately, the photos cannot show all of its magnificence. Introduced in 2015, it is a true thoroughbred Speedmaster for many reasons – we will focus on just a few of them: First, of course, it is a chronograph – in order to be a true Speedmaster. The tachymetric scale – which in this case is Omega's so-called Liquidmetal, the shape of the chronograph pushers, the transparent case back… The second is its irresistible and inimitable style, with the shape of the hands and the layout of the dial. The third is the movement used – not for nothing is the 9300 considered by specialists to be one of Omega's best in-house movements of the last 10 years. It deserves special attention. Under the name Calibre 9300 lies Omega's high-quality in-house movement – an automatic chronograph, operating at the unusual frequency for other movements of 25,200 vibrations (3.5 Hz), with two barrels, 54 jewels and 337 components – with Omega's co-axial upgrade and an Si14 silicon balance wheel – COSC certified and with a power reserve of over 60 hours. Co-Axial is a patented Omega technology that significantly reduces friction in the heart of the watch's movement and offers improved reliability and accuracy, as well as longevity of the movement's use. The column-wheel chronograph guarantees a smooth start of the seconds hand when the chronograph is activated and ensures precise stopping and resetting. And of course, the most interesting thing about this watch is the material used for the case – here we are talking about black ceramic! For the first time, Omega used this material on a Speedmaster in 2015 in this very model and they clearly like the result, because to this day they continue to actively use ceramic, having already added other colors to their product range. The strap is very comfortable due to the clasp with its easy-to-use push-buttons, made of high-quality nylon textile – clean and of very high quality, and the snugness with which it envelops your wrist once again shows the high quality of the watch's craftsmanship.
