OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon

OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon Features

The OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon watches combine the collection's signature elements with innovative materials and features. As you'll see in this OMEGA Speedmaster review, the Dark Side of the Moon models stand out for their use of high-tech ceramic and advanced functionality. Here's an overview of what sets these timepieces apart:

Movement

At the heart of each Dark Side of the Moon watch is OMEGA's in-house Co-Axial caliber 9300. This automatic mechanical movement delivers exceptional precision and reliability, with a power reserve of 60 hours.

Materials

The hallmark of the Dark Side of the Moon collection is the use of black zirconium oxide ceramic for the case. This high-tech material is not only visually striking but also hypoallergenic, lightweight, and resistant to wear.

Bezel

The black ceramic tachymeter bezel is a defining feature, allowing for the tracking of speed based on elapsed time. The numerals and scale are engraved and filled with Super-LumiNova for optimal visibility.

Sizes

When considering the OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon size, it's important to look at various dimensions to ensure the perfect fit. Here are the key measurements:

• Dimensions: The Dark Side of the Moon measures 44.25mm in diameter, offering a bold and substantial presence on the wrist.
• Thickness: The OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon thickness is 16.14mm, giving this watch a commanding stature while still remaining comfortable to wear.
• Lug to Lug: With an OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon lug to lug distance of approximately 48mm, this watch ensures a secure and proportional fit on most wrist sizes.

• Lug Width: The OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon lug width measures 21mm, allowing for a range of strap options to customize your look.

Strap Options

The OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon collection offers a variety of strap options to suit different styles and preferences:

• Leather Strap: Many Dark Side of the Moon models come equipped with a sleek black OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon leather strap, offering a classic and dressy option that complements the watch's sophisticated design.
• Rubber Strap: For a sportier look and enhanced durability, some versions feature a high-performance OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon rubber strap, providing a comfortable and secure fit during active wear.
• Nato Strap: Certain limited editions, like the Apollo 8, come with an OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon nato strap in black nylon, paying tribute to the watch's space heritage while adding a bold, military-inspired touch.

Chronometer

Each Dark Side of the Moon watch is a certified chronometer, having passed the rigorous testing of the Swiss Official Chronometer Control (COSC) to ensure optimal accuracy and performance. This certification is a testament to the exceptional precision and reliability of the OMEGA Co-Axial caliber 9300 movement that powers these timepieces.

Tachymeter

The black ceramic tachymeter bezel is a signature element, allowing for the measurement of speed over a fixed distance. It adds functionality and a motorsport-inspired aesthetic. The tachymeter scale is expertly crafted, with the engravings and markings filled with Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions.

Anti-Magnetic

The movement is protected by a special anti-magnetic case, shielding it from the effects of magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. This ensures reliable timekeeping in various environments. The anti-magnetic properties of the Dark Side of the Moon watches make them ideal for those who frequently work with or around magnetic fields, such as engineers, technicians, or medical professionals.

Time Zone Function

Select Dark Side of the Moon models feature a GMT function, allowing for the tracking of two time zones simultaneously. This is especially useful for travelers or those working across different time zones. The GMT hand, usually in a contrasting color, completes one rotation every 24 hours, making it easy to read the second time zone at a glance.
