Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon “Black Black”

Omega’s Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon series has long stood as a bold reimagining of the Moonwatch’s legacy, pushing technical materials and design to their extremes. Among the 2025 lineup, no model embodies this vision more completely than the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon “Black Black.” This stealthy, full-ceramic chronograph trades all contrast and flash for a tactical, ultra-modern aesthetic within a black case, black dial, black lume, and a near-invisible presence on the wrist. More than a novelty, it’s a masterclass in monochrome execution and a celebration of Omega’s material innovation, blending high-tech ceramics with the iconic Speedmaster silhouette. The result is a mission-ready tool watch that speaks in a whisper but wears with unmistakable presence.
The 44.25 mm case is fully crafted from black ceramic with a mix of brushed and polished surfaces that catch the light differently depending on angle. It features twisted lugs, a broad fixed bezel, and prominent pushers that extend assertively from the case side, framed by beveled ceramic shoulders. The ceramic tachymeter bezel is fully brushed, with white Super-LumiNova numerals that glow green in low light conditions, ensuring visibility even in the dark.Turning the watch over, the caseback is fitted with a sapphire display window revealing the movement within. The outer perimeter is laser-engraved with the collection’s “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON” motif, and includes the standard Speedmaster markings. A matte black ceramic screw-down ring secures the crystal in place while seamlessly integrating with the rest of the case’s dark aesthetic.Crown and chronograph pushers are fashioned from the same black ceramic as the case, maintaining full color consistency across components. The crown is signed with the Omega logo and sits recessed into the case band for a sleek profile. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides safeguards the dial. Water-resistance can reach up to 50 meters (165 feet).
The dial of the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon “Black Black” is a study in monochromatic stealth, executed entirely in matte and glossy black tones that amplify its mysterious, tactical presence. Crafted from black ceramic, the dial features blackened applied indices and blackened hands, all filled with black Super-LumiNova for low-light visibility. The dual-register layout preserves the classic Speedmaster aesthetic, with a 12-hour chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and a running seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, both subtly recessed.Despite the all-black palette, legibility is impressively preserved through careful contrast in surface finishes with a matte dial base, glossy subdials, and polished ceramic details, which allow elements to catch light at different angles. A black date window sits neatly at 6 o’clock, nearly invisible unless viewed directly, further contributing to the model’s ghosted-out allure.The outer minutes track and tachymeter ring continue the dark theme with black print over a matching ceramic bezel insert. This cohesive palette makes the “Black Black” one of the most daring and modern interpretations in the Speedmaster lineup, blending form and function with a resolutely futuristic edge.
