In developing the production process for the "Dark Side of the Moon" case, Omega replica Speedmaster initially worked with an outside company, but in the end, Swatch Group CEO Nick Hayek Jr. decided to implement an investment decision in order to bring the entire process to China. -House. The result is an unprecedented, state-of-the-art ceramic watch that is unmatched by any other watch brand. What is so special about Omega replica Speedmaster ceramic technology? Not only are the monobloc case and bezel made of pure black ceramic, as others have done before, the chronograph pushers and crown are fully polished and are also solid ceramic. In addition, the dial, buckle and caseback are also made of pure ceramic. The face of the case is a perfect combination of satin-brushed and polished surfaces and measures 44.25 mm in diameter, 16 mm in thickness and 49.50 mm in length. This is by no means a small watch - it is, after all, a sports watch. But that doesn't mean it wears badly. Thanks to the lightweight ceramic, the watch weighs just 90.4 grams - including the head, strap and buckle. I wore it for a week and I can say it really wore well. The replica watch is about 16mm thick and very tall. Which lets us ask a question: why does Omega replica Speedmaster use a box sapphire crystal on the caseback? It looks cool and yes, we like the high dome glass on the front of the replica watch, but using it on the back cover seems redundant as it adds at least 2mm to the overall thickness. We'd like to see future iterations with a thinner profile.
Background
When the Omega replica Speedmaster or the fast Dark Side of the Moon (DSotM), made of black ceramic, was unveiled at Baselworld 2014, it caused a stir. It was easily the most talked about topic at the show viewing, and subsequently the most talked about topic on the viewing blogs and forums. It was easily the most discussed, most Instagrammed and most anticipated replica watch at Baselworld that year. Pre-orders for the watch were hot, with a large number of authorized dealers selling out and not even receiving the first inventory. Omega finally released a version of its flagship chronograph at a retail price of about $12,000, priced right in competition with the Rolex Daytona. That's a damn cool replica watch, everyone agrees on that. But is the excitement still as permanent as the Daytona? Omega has finally reached the pricing and buzz levels of the Rolex Daytona. Will Omega be able to maintain the innovation, style and technology first introduced with the original black Omega replica Speedmaster? Will Omega finally be able to outperform its main competitors? As a relatively new collector at the time of its release, I often see on forums, blogs and other social networks that "moonwatch" is essential to any collection. To be brief, the usual arguments are that it has an authentic and iconic history, a timeless design, amazing performance, and has always been priced at an entry level price point, making the Omega replica Speedmaster Moonwatch hard to ignore. New original reissued Moon watches typically sell for around $5,000 and are available in many models. Omega replica Speedmaster actually releases one or two "limited" models each year for all types of anniversaries, real and fictional, and for an ever-increasing number of partnerships. But for me, the original Moon watch never stirred any emotions. Don't get me wrong, sending a man to the moon is perhaps man's greatest achievement to date. Having a replica watch that belongs on one of these missions, or even being part of a life-saving effort on one of them, is not only iconic, it's a romantic dream for any watch geek or any engineer.
Black Ceramic Watch
You may already know the specifications of the "Dark Side of the Moon" model, but for this Omega replica Speedmaster Vintage Black edition, they are not too different. The in-house caliber 9300 chronograph movement features the famous George Daniels Co-Axial escapement, two dial layouts with indexes, a date at 6 o'clock, and of course a 44.25 mm case made of a single piece of ceramic. And of course, the dial is ceramic. In short, it is the Omega replica Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Vintage Black, but we wonder how it resembles the original Dark Side of the Moon and perhaps other similar looking and similar looking brands on the market. Materials and colors used. The most important aspect that sets this Omega replica Speedmaster Moon Moon Dark Black apart from other models is that Omega has used its own " Vintage " Super-LumiNova for the dial, date disc and hands. As collectors like to do, this faux bronze color has the effect of an old dial or vintage replica watch and looks stunning in combination with the use of brown hour markers and hands. Older hand-wound lunar watches need to be painted for more than 20 years (if this happens at all, depending on the paint used and the production age of the dial supplier), and Omega uses this Omega replica Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Vintage Black. The central hands of the black dial are also darkened, but thanks to the " Vintage " Super-LumiNova, they contrast with the frosted black dial. As mentioned above, the small hands on the two subdials have a brown coating and look great with the luminous material used. The date aperture at 6 o'clock is sometimes discussed when discussing the 9300 Omega replica Speedmaster caliber, but I think it balances the layout of the two registers nicely, and most consumers who buy modern watches want a date function on their timepieces. On the one hand, Omega seems to be using its production process for ceramic cases and producing more variations on the "dark side of the moon" theme, but on the other hand, they do seem to be listening to the market (well, I'm not sure about white with all due respect, note the variations on the side of the moon). There are now four variants of the original "Dark Side of the Moon" model, making a total of five. Omega has introduced this new Omega replica Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon" vintage black replica watch, with a new ceramic folding clasp. I had to add ceramic and titanium because of course the long end of the clasp needs to be "moved" to open and close (click). However, this internal movement 9300 is different from the off-the-shelf chronograph movements that are of course very common. Omega has done an excellent job in the industrial production of the 8xxx and 930x calibers. The movement is great in terms of specifications, but also visually pleasing to the eye. The movement is engraved with a lot of text, but at least it provides you with some useful information. The domed sapphire crystal on the caseback is something I like, for example making me prefer the 9300 caliber Omega replica Speedmaster series to the 9300 Seamaster Planet Ocean caliber because the Omega replica Speedmaster case is not as thick as the PO.
