A Pre-Owned Omega Speedmaster – Dark Side of the Moon Ref: 311.92.44.51.01.003.

Emblematic of OMEGA’s bold style, forward-thinking, innovation and adventurous spirit, this ceramic OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon represents a sleek and sporty addition to any watch collection.

Ceramic:

OMEGA has unrivalled expertise in the use of ceramics, dating back more than 10 years. Taking its origin from the Greek word "keramos", ceramic is an inorganic, non-metallic substance obtained by firing at high temperatures. It allows the creation of completely dense watch parts with exceptional mechanical properties. Ceramic is one of the most popular choices for customers when selecting their timepiece, thanks to its appealing colour range and specific properties, such as it being two times lighter than stainless steel, hardwearing, highly scratch-resistant, chemically inert, hypoallergenic, and non-magnetic.

Sapphire Crystal:

To really appreciate the finer details of a timepiece, OMEGA uses synthetic sapphire crystal with a highly scratch-resistant and anti-reflective treatment. Before the machining and finishing processes take place, the sapphire crystals are produced under the Verneuil process, also called flame fusion. It involves the melting of the raw substance using oxyhydrogen flame and the crystallisation of the melted droplets to form a cylinder. Graded 9 on the Mohs-hardness scale (graded 1-10), the resulting sapphire crystals are virtually scratch-proof and very hard, ensuring an unhindered vision at all times.

Dial:

This model showcases a beautiful black zirconium oxide ceramic dial with striking 18K white gold "Moonwatch"-style hands and two ceramic sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock. There is a date complication at 6 o’clock. Also on the dial is the Omega Logo and Speedmaster emblazoned in Red which sets this off wonderfully with the black dial. The dial is protected by a Sapphire Crystal with anti-reflective treatment inside and out.
