A black star with an ever-so poetic name, “The Dark Side of the Moon” is above all a timepiece that stands out above all other members of the Speedmaster family. Whilst we all see in our minds the steel “Moonwatch”, particularly the 311.33.44.51.01.001 reference, from which our black star reproduces the lion’s share of the design codes, it surprises with its deep hues and its lightness. From the 44.25 mm case to the dial, from the bezel to the chronograph push-pieces, everything is fashioned in black ceramic, a highly-resistant material. On the dial, the indexes and hands are highlighted with Super Luminova, whilst the large direct-drive seconds hand is set off with a dot of red. The chronograph counters and the date (at 6 o’clock) are also featured here. These functions are all powered by an Omega-designed co-axial escapement automatic movement.
