Omega presented a timepiece in Basel that echoed out to the moon, a never-ending source of dreams and fantasies for mankind. This celestial body who’s surface has only been explored by 12 humans today exercises a sort of magic and an attraction that little yet realize. It’s true that when you scientifically explain the phases of the moon and its craters, a fragment of mystery still remains. In a more pragmatic vein, the all-black ceramic Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon owes its creation to the exploits and other happenings of the astronauts from the Apollo 9 mission. The black ceramic background is thus adorned with markers made of chrome nitride, with the name of this emblematic collection – Dark Side of the Moon – slapped on each of these watches that beats to the rhythm of an Omega Co-Axial 9300 caliber.
The Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Vintage Black distinguishes itself from its ancestors with its brown hands and indexes, covered in Super-LumiNova vintage. The bezel, made of satiny ceramic, is accompanied by a tachymetric measurer made of Super-LumiNova vintage. The matte ceramic dial was created with the aide of a laser ablation technology. Black-centered hands spring forth from this style, responding to the brown hands on the counters placed at 3 and 9:00. The brown leather bracelet confers distinction and novel allure, all while placing this timepiece among the classics of watchmaking.
