The New Speedmaster “Grey Side of the Moon”from Omega

This type of moment arrived 1969, whenever a Speedmaster Professional produced by Omega Watches visited the moon using the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega Watches' Speedmaster Professional Apollo 11 remember that achievement. This dignified watch, using its platinum body and dark face, is really a fitting memorial bearing the Apollo 11 emblem on among the three chronograph dials.

Following its highly effective “Dark Side of the Moon,” Omega announces the brand new Omega Speedmaster “Grey Side of the Moon.” Fashioned from ceramic and platinum, the brand new watch features several elements of design that distinguish it using their company Omega watches.


The watch’s look is inspired through the lunar dust that taken the foot prints from the Apollo astronauts within the legendary images beamed to Earth. When designing this watch, Omega needed to use a special tactic to capture the colour from the lunar surface. The ceramic material begins out whitened, however it assumes the needed more dark hue inside a high-temperature plasma furnace. Uncovered to some proprietary mixture of gasses in a temperature of 36,000 levels Fahrenheit for 3 hrs, the ceramic emerges inside a twinkling gray. This excellent ceramic can be used to produce the case, caseback, bezel, crown, pushers and buckle of the 44.25-mm watch.


In another first for Omega, the engraved tachymetric scale around the bezel is stuffed with Super-LumiNova, which makes it highly legible in most lighting conditions. The “Ω” symbol around the crown can also be full of the luminescent material.

The dial of the new Omega Speedmaster is sandblasted 950 platinum, and 2 integrated platinum subdials distinguish this model from the legendary “Moonwatch” predecessor. The subdial at 3 o’clock includes both 12-hour and 60-minute chronograph counters, for intuitive reading through from the passed time. The continual seconds appear at 9 o’clock. The dial remains safe and secure with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on sides.


The Speedmaster “Grey Side of the Moon” is presented on the gray leather strap. Red-colored stitching around the bottom from the strap complements the red-colored accents around the in-house Omega Co-Axial caliber 9300 movement, that is visible with the beveled sapphire crystal caseback. This movement is equipped by having a Si14 silicon balance spring for enhanced timekeeping performance under all conditions.

The Omega Speedmaster “Grey Side of the Moon” is provided having a four-year warranty and it is shipped inside a special presentation box. Starting at in Feb, 2015, priced at $12,000.
