2021 Omega Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon" 44.25mm

Here we have a 2021 Omega Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon" Reference 311.92.44.51.01.007. This watch features a 44.25mm polished-and-brushed black ceramic asymmetric case that curves beautifully over your wrist thanks to the characteristic twisted, tapered lugs. Omega has spent years perfecting the use of Zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) Ceramic, which is half as heavy as stainless steel, non-magnetic, scratch-resistant, and incredibly hard-wearing. Its curved flanks give it a lug-to-lug length of 50mm and a case thickness of 16mm, giving the watch a powerful, impressive wrist presence. Down the right side, we have the chronograph pushers and a signed crown recessed into the case for protection. The ceramic bezel features a black lacquered Tachymeter scale and a domed sapphire crystal over a stealthy, high-gloss black ceramic bi-compax dial. A precisely executed outer minute track surrounds applied black baton indexes coated in Super-LumiNova that mark the hours. The sub-dials include a recessed 12-hour register at 3 o’clock, a colour-matched date window at 6 o’clock, and a recessed small seconds register at 9 o’clock, each finished with a polished ring and white numerals. Slender brushed hands filled in Super-LumiNova are complemented by a sharp central chronograph hand. At 12 o’clock, the Omega motif and “Speedmaster” script sit proudly, while “Co-Axial Chronometer” completes this Apollo 8-inspired bi-compax chronograph at 6 o’clock. On the reverse, a sapphire exhibition case back, etched with the watch's details around the edge, showcases the inner workings. Inside beats the automatic Omega Cal. 9300, a highly precise movement featuring a column-wheel mechanism, a silicon balance wheel, and the revolutionary George Daniels-conceived Co-Axial escapement with twin barrels mounted in series. This 54-jewel calibre operates at 28,800 beats per hour, is decorated with beautiful Côtes de Genève in waves, and is designed for exceptional durability, precision, and stability. The watch comes paired with its original 21mm Omega black fabric strap with a soft leather underside, secured by a matching signed ceramic push-button folding clasp. The watch comes complete with its original Omega presentation box and paperwork.

There's something seriously cool about an all-black Speedmaster, and I think the Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best examples of Omega taking an iconic design and giving it a completely different personality. The black ceramic case, matching dial and stealthy details work so well together. It's bold without being overly flashy, and I love how Omega kept the different polished and brushed surfaces on the ceramic case and they still catch the light. What surprised me most, though, is just how well it wears. At 44.25mm and 16mm thick, it's certainly no small watch on paper, but the lightweight ceramic construction and beautifully sculpted case make it far more comfortable on the wrist than you'd expect. An iconic Speedmaster with a modern, stealthy twist. What's not to love! Snap it up and add it to your collection today!

They were formerly known as the La Generale Watch Co., founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds. When he died in 1879, his sons carried on his dream. In 1880, they moved to 96 Rue Jakob-Stampfli, where they remain today. The brothers produced their first mass-produced calibre, the Labrador In 1885. Just a few years later, in 1892, they produced the first minute-repeater. In 1903, they renamed the company Omega until 1982, when they officially changed their name to Omega SA. During WW1, Omega watches were used as official timekeepers for the Royal Flying Corps and the US Army. In 1930, Omega and Tissot merged together to form Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère (SSIH.) In 1931, another group was formed - Allgemeine Schweizerische Uhrenindustrie AG (ASUAG). Where SSIH was primarily French-speaking, ASUAG was founded by the more German-speaking members of the Swiss watch industry. In 1948, they introduced the first edition of one of its most symbolic watches: the Seamaster. Omega first introduced the Constellation in 1952. At the time, it was Omega's flagship timepiece. The first models had a Cal. 354 bumper movement in them. Later, in 1955, Omega introduced the Automatic Cal. 50x, followed in 1959 by the Cal.55x (no date) and 56x (date) versions. Many of the Constellations came with pie-pan dials, diamond indexes, and fancy lug configurations. All the gold Constellations of that time have the Observatory of Geneva's hand engraved on the back. The stainless steel and stainless steel/gold versions had a gold medallion on the back with the Observatory of Geneva. The eight stars above the Observatory stand for the many exploits of Omega in the world Chronometer competition. Celebrating the fact that all Constellations are Chronometer Certified. In 1962, when astronaut Wally Schirra wore a Speedmaster on his Mercury Sigma 7 Mission, making it the first Omega watch to enter space. After rigorous tests, NASA used Omega for all their Apollo missions, including the 1969 Moon landing of Apollo 11. Today, Omega is still the first choice of astronauts. In 1969, President Nixon famously said it was “too valuable” and turned down the first-ever all-gold Speedmaster Professional Deluxe. As a response to the ever-growing threat of electronic watches to the manufacturers of mechanical watches, Omega and many Swiss brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe formed Centre Electronique Horologer (CEH). Prototypes began to appear in 1967, and their production started in 1968. Then In 1972, Omega introduced the reference 198.030, which included the Omega calibre 1250, a ‘tuning-fork electronic movement which was made under licence from Bulova. Later we saw a merger of SSIH and ASUAG into SMH, or Société de Microélectronique et d’Horlogerie. This merger took place in 1983. In 1992, the company acquired Blancpain, and in 1998, it officially rebranded itself from SMH to the Swatch Group. Then, in 1999, they purchased and integrated Breguet into the Swatch Group.
