There are four new watches in the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon collection originally launched in 2013. They are named Vintage Black, Sedna Black, Pitch Black and Black Black.
Vintage Black is distinctive for the vintage beige SuperLuminova and the brown leather strap. In Sedna Black, the darkness is relieved by Sedna gold details, the bezel ring, hands and indices, with vintage beige SuperLuminova. Pitch Black has greenish-white SuperLuminova on hands, indices and tachymeter scale, with black leather strap. Black Black is the trendiest version in black ceramic throughout, with a black coated nylon strap. Even the hands and hour indices are black, and they are coated with black SuperLuminova. In Black Black, daytime legibility is sacrificed to the altar of fashion.
Movement and features
The watches all have the two subdials characteristic of the Speedmaster, with chronograph hours and minutes on the subdial at 3 o’clock, and continuous seconds at 9 o’clock. All the watches are powered by the Omega 9300-calibre automatic co-axial movement, with column wheel chronograph mechanism. The two barrels in series provide a power reserve of 60 hours. The case in ZrO2 ceramic is 44.25 mm in diameter 16.14 mm thick, and has a 50-metre water resistance.
