Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon “Black Red” Manual

Omega continues to evolve its all‑ceramic Speedmaster line with the new Dark Side of the Moon “Black Red,” a hand‑wound chronograph that infuses the collection’s signature stealth aesthetic with bold red highlights. Retaining the same 44.25 mm ceramic case and robust chronometer performance, this latest iteration offers a more tactile experience while injecting a subtle flash of color into the otherwise monochrome palette.The 44.25 mm case is entirely crafted from black ceramic with a mix of brushed and polished finishing to catch the light from various angles. It features twisted lugs, an integrated ceramic tachymeter bezel, and broad chronograph pushers. The matte ceramic bezel is laser-etched with a white tachymeter scale and glows green thanks to Super-LumiNova, complementing the legibility of the dial in low-light conditions.
Around back, the screw-down caseback features a domed sapphire crystal revealing the manually wound movement beneath. The outer perimeter is engraved with “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON” in bold lettering, accompanied by standard Speedmaster engravings and reference markings. The matte black ceramic ring surrounding the crystal blends seamlessly with the rest of the case’s dark surface.Crown and chronograph pushers are also made from black ceramic to ensure full consistency in material and tone. The crown is signed with the Omega logo and sits flush with the case for a clean silhouette. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides protects the dial. Water-resistance can reach up to 50 meters (165 feet).
The multi-level dial is executed entirely in matte black ceramic, offering a stark and legible layout in true Speedmaster fashion. The recessed subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock provide both visual depth and functionality, displaying the elapsed chronograph hours/minutes and small seconds, respectively. The central chronograph hand is lacquered in vivid red, as a defining feature of this edition, while the “Speedmaster” name at 12 o’clock is printed in the same red tone, creating a subtle contrast.Hour indices and broad-arrow hands are filled with Super-LumiNova that glows green, offering night-time readability against the dark ceramic dial. The chronograph totalizer at 3 o’clock features an elegant stepped edge that distinguishes it from the adjacent small seconds display.
A discreet minute track encircles the outer perimeter, with applied markers printed in contrasting white. Together with the red highlights, this provides a slightly more dynamic and aggressive look than the stealthy “Black Black” sibling.
