OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon 44.25 mm, black ceramic on rubber strap 310.92.44.51.01.005

Description

Honouring OMEGA’s legacy of space exploration, this Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon “Black Black” features a 44.25 mm case in polished-brushed black ceramic. The brushed bezel is also made from black ceramic and features a laser-engraved tachymeter scale that is filled with black Grand Feu enamel.

Beneath the front sapphire crystal, the ceramic dial has been sand-blasted by laser and includes a small-seconds display at 9H, a 60-minute and 12-hour recorder at 3H, and a date window at 6H. All of the hands and bevelled indexes are blackened and filled with black Super-LumiNova (green emission).

Visible through the caseback, OMEGA’s self-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900 has been given a special “black edition” finish , which includes a matte-blackened rotor, main plate and bridges, as well as black varnished engravings. The watch is worn on a black rubber strap with a lunar surface pattern on the underside, a ceramic foldover clasp, and ceramised titanium frame-spring folders.

Features

• Anti-magnetic: The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).
• Chronograph: The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.
• Chronometer: Label given to a watch which has been successfully tested by an accredited and independent laboratory in order to receive a certificate compliant with the chronometer ISO 3159 standard.
• Date: The day of the month, displayed in a window on a watch dial at the 3 or 6 o’clock position, or within a subdial at 9 o’clock.
• Master Chronometer Certified: Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
• Small seconds: A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.
• Tachymeter: A tachymeter watch has a function for measuring speed. It is a chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed can be read in kilometres per hour based on a 1000 metre distance.
• Time zone function: Allows the hour hand to be easily adjusted to different time zones without stopping the watch.
• Transparent caseback: A transparent caseback – frequently made of sapphire – makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
