Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon

About This Watch

The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon was the first watch to feature a case entirely crafted from a single block of black zirconium oxide ceramic. Launched in 2013, this bold interpretation of the Moonwatch takes its name from the far side of the Moon, which is perpetually hidden from Earth's view. The entire case, including the crown, pushers, and bezel, is black ceramic — a material that is extremely scratch-resistant, lightweight, and retains its color permanently. The matte black dial with matching subdials creates a stealthy, monochromatic aesthetic that is dramatically different from the classic steel Moonwatch. Despite its 44.25mm diameter, the ceramic construction makes it surprisingly light at just 97 grams. The movement is the caliber 1869, a proven hand-wound chronograph that shares its DNA with the original Moon-landing movement. The nylon fabric strap with leather lining adds comfort and a military-inspired touch. This is a Speedmaster for those who want the Moonwatch heritage in an unapologetically modern, avant-garde package.
