In Baselworld 2014,Omega thematically follows up the Omega Speedmaster Co-Axial Chronograph Dark Side Of The Moon Watch with their second ceramic-cased Omega Speedmaster that is known as the Omega Speedmaster Grey Side Of The Moon.I will going to introduce this New Omega watch and make a simple reviews about the new arrival Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon replica watch from d4l.co.
The original Dark Side of the Moon has been well received worldwide and is currently the number one selling timepiece throughout Omega boutiques. The new "Lunar Dust" retains the full monobloc ceramic onstruction of its predecessor with a bit of a twist. The cool grey case begins as a solid block of bright white ceramic, which is then superheated to 20,000ยบ F, turning the material completely grey, all the way through.
The color obtained through the process is a metallic gray, darker than stainless steel or titanium, reminding us of the color of a moon stone. The difference between the entirely black “Dark Side of the Moon” and the new “Lunar Dust” is that the dial on the latter is made of a solid piece of platinum that is finely textured and is a bit iridescent. The bezel, crown, pushers, caseback and pin buckle on both models are made of ceramics. The hands and indices, with the classical Speedmaster Professional design, are black colored and filed with Super-LumiNova. Even the engraved tachymeter on the bezel is filled with Super-LumiNova.
The Lunar Dust features Omega’s in-house Caliber 9300, a self-winding movement that is also used in the Moonwatch Chronograph and the Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph that we reviewed for you here. It features:
Overall it is a lovely new flavor of ceramic Omega Speedmaster, and I think Omega did a really lovely job with it. In the US, the Omega Speedmaster Grey Side Of The Moon will be priced at $12,000, the same as the Dark Side Of The Moon.

- an integrated chronograph function (meaning that all the levers and gears are not in a module on top of a base movement, but are fully integrated into the movement’s construction)
- a silicon balance spring that is antimagnetic
- the co-axial escapement that allows very good chronometric performance and the COSC chronometer certification
- two mainspring barrels that deliver more than 60 hours of power reserve
- a column wheel and a vertical clutch system to engage the chronograph
Overall it is a lovely new flavor of ceramic Omega Speedmaster, and I think Omega did a really lovely job with it. In the US, the Omega Speedmaster Grey Side Of The Moon will be priced at $12,000, the same as the Dark Side Of The Moon.
