Description

The Speedmaster is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces, having been a part of all six lunar missions. Celebrating that history, this "Blue Side of the Moon" model takes its name from the colour of the dark blue sky.

The 44.25 mm chronograph features a blue ceramic case complemented by a blue ceramic bezel ring with an OMEGA Ceragold™ tachymeter scale. It is presented on a blue leather strap with a blue ceramic and ceramised titanium foldover clasp.

Most vividly, the dial is blue aventurine glass and includes 18K Sedna™ gold indexes and hands as well as a date hand with red tip. At 6 o'clock is the accurate Moonphase indication, which features a blue enamel aventurine glass Moonphase disc (patent pending) with near and far sides of the moon in Sedna™ gold.

Powering the timepiece is the OMEGA Master Chronometer Calibre 9904, certified at the industry’s highest standard by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

1 / 3

Sedna^TM Gold

OMEGA has been using the exclusive 18K Sedna^TM Gold, its own fiery rose gold alloy, since 2012. Named after Sedna, an orbiting planetoid that has been described as one of the reddest in the solar system, Sedna^TM Gold not only bears all the standard characteristics of other 18K golds, but it also offers high resistance to the fading of colour and lustre over time. Its unique composition includes copper and palladium for colour and stability.

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, environmentally friendly 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.
