OMEGA, SPEEDMASTER, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

ICONEEK price: 7'900.-CHF

Iconeek is proud to introduce a superb, full-set, first owner Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon. The model is a very fine and unusual  black ceramic automatic chronograph wristwatch with date.

Born in 1957, the Omega Speedmaster is one of the most iconic chronograph ever created, together with the Daytona Cosmograph Rolex. Since its introduction, several models were launched paying tribute to space missions or bringing new improvements on the model. Introduced in 2013, the Dark Side of the Moon pushed immediately the model into the 21st century, with its drastic and radical futuristic look, exceptional movement, large size, and all black zirconium oxide ceramic material. The Omega Dark Side of the Moon Speedmaster was designed to pay homage to the Apollo 8 astronauts, who were the first people to see the dark side of the moon.

The model has a two-body construction: a large black ceramic water-resistant tonneau-shaped case with Lyre lugs, black ceramic bezel calibrated for tachometer scale, two round chronograph ceramic buttons in the band, black ceramic case back with sapphire crystal.

The case was created from a single block of black zirconium oxide ceramic, a highly scratch-resistant material. The engravings on the case back are done thanks to a laser beam. All pieces, including dial, crown, pushers, buckle and bezel are made from ceramic, no compromises has been made with PVD or DLC treatments.

Under the sapphire crystal, a  black ceramic dial, ZrO2, with applied luminous baton numerals, luminous hands, two subsidiary dials for constant seconds and 30 minute register combined with 12 hour register, aperture for date at 6 o'clock. Under the glazed case back, we discover a caliber 9300 automatic movement, 54 jewels. The present watch comes with an Omega black ceramic deployant clasp and mint Omega bracelet. Dial, case and movement are signed. The actual retail price is around 10'500.- CHF

Condition: 9.5/10, full-set, first owner.
