What makes a watch distinct and unconventional? Is it the meticulous design of the exterior or the carefully crafted mechanism inside the watch? How can a timepiece be considered exceptional or be set apart from a mediocre watch? Truly, it is also about the milestones and history of the timepiece itself.  Omega Speedmaster has not only excelled in its exterior design and interior mechanism but has also served a purpose in contributing to the development of the world. It would be an honor to own a masterpiece that served a purpose, would you agree?  On July 20th, 1969 the first Omega watch that landed on the moon was worn by Neil Armstrong as well as by Buzz Aldrin during their Apollo XI mission. Thus the Speedmaster watch came out with the ref. ST105.012, being regarded as the first among the “Omega Moonwatch” collection. The OMEGA Speedmaster is one of Omega’s most remarkable timepieces. This collection has represented the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit and has been a part of all six lunar missions. What more can you say about a timepiece that has landed on the moon and traveled in space? 

Dark Side of the Moon Co- 44.25 mm

 An all-black watch has always had a classic appeal that matches every get-up and is a perfect statement piece. This “Sedna Black” is mounted on a black leather strap with a brushed ceramic foldover clasp. Besides the classic exterior of this watch, the more fascinating part is the story behind it. The Apollo 8 accomplishments and adventures inspired the all-black, ceramic Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, but it is the fascination of the Earth’s nightlight presence that has urged the creation of the “Dark Side” Speedmaster collection pieces. The exterior of this timepiece has a completely brushed black ceramic case with an 18K Sedna™ gold bezel ring that is a complete match with the 18 Sedna™ gold applied indexes and hands. Taking note that laser ablation has been used to mark on the matt grey dial.

In my opinion Reference, 324.28.38.50.02.001 is an absolute stunner. The green leather strap with a Seahorse medallion on the case back and the inner section of the bezel that features a tachymeter scale on a green aluminum ring while the outside is ringed with diamonds is a total eye-catcher.  In addition to it, the key feature of this piece is the stainless steel and 18K yellow gold case with a dual bezel design. The carefully handcrafted Speedmaster 38 mm collection is simple in size, and color, but still managed to retain its look. Not to mention the heritage of OMEGA’s most famous chronograph.

The “cappuccino” leather strap that matches the dial and horizontal brown oval subdials gave the timepiece a personality.
