Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Dark Side of the Moon THE Omega SPEEDMASTER “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”The Apollo 8 astronauts were the first people to see the dark side of the moon with their own eyes. The black ceramic Co-Axial Speedmaster salutes their pioneering spirit and pays homage to the Speedmaster Professional chronographs worn by every Apollo astronaut.INSPIRED BY A LEGACYThis timepiece is the product of groundbreaking technologies: it is crafted 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 MATERIALThe 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 FAMILYRhapsodized, romanticized and analysed, the Moon has always enchanted us.

Omega was going by the name of La Generale Watch Co instead. In 1918, the American Army decided that Omega watches would be the official timekeeper for their combat units, just like Britain’s Royal Flying Corps chose them the year before. So if you see a skeleton hand Seamaster Professional which appears to have a black dial or bezel, then there are only two explanations: you are misperceiving the color, or the watch is one of the counterfeit versions that were made in black — despite that being an inaccurate reproduction of the original watch. Omega’s line of water resistant watches dates all the way back to 1932, and the Seamaster name was introduced in 1947. Up through the 1960’s, the Seamaster models paralleled the traditional style of dress watches, such as the Omega DeVille (some were even labeled as a ‘Seamaster DeVille’). Combining OMEGA’s ceramic technology with its exclusive rose gold alloy, the Speedmaster Dark Side of the…
