Grey Ceramic Omega Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon"

Why I love this grey ceramic Omega Speedmaster "Dark Side of the Moon" the most.  "Dark Side of the Moon" is Omega's Speedmaster series that focuses on ceramic, with watches primarily featuring black ceramic models. However, within the Dark Side of the Moon series, there is one unique "grey ceramic" watch: the Speedmaster "Grey Side of the Moon". Luxury replica watches cheap, luxury brands watches like Omega, Audemars Piguet, Breitling, Hublot or Omega Speedmaster replica watches.

 The Grey Side of the Moon is considered the true "dark side of the moon" because the actual far side of the moon is indeed gray. In 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts observed the far side of the moon and remarked that it is essentially gray, without any other color. Based on this observation, Omega created the Grey Side of the Moon watch, a true representation of the dark side of the moon.

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Grey Side of the Moon is based on the manual Speedmaster 3861. What immediately catches our eye is the grey, partially skeletonized "moon dial". The dial and movement feature extensive laser engraving, depicting the surface and craters of the moon. Combined with a gray background, this perfectly recreates the far side of the moon with exquisite detail and realism. On one side of the dial, we can see partial openwork, and the 30-minute and 12-hour counters are interconnected, decorated with dots and record-like patterns, ensuring the smaller counters don't disappear into the "gray lunar surface" and are easy to read. Furthermore, the watch hands, hour markers, and bezel markings are all coated with luminescent material. Even the back of the Grey Side of the Moon strap is decorated with a "lunar crater" pattern.

Turning it over, you can see the engraved Omega 3861 manual chronograph movement, now renumbered 3869. As Omega's signature manual chronograph movement, it is also one of the very few "classic horizontal clutch" manual chronograph movements in the world of fine watches.
