New Watches Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon 310.92.44.50.06.002

The Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon bridges lunar inspiration with advanced ceramic engineering, offering a distinctive interpretation of OMEGA’s iconic chronograph. This 44.25 mm model features a plasma-treated grey ceramic case, a specially decorated movement inspired by the lunar surface, and a manual-winding Master Chronometer calibre that celebrates both innovation and heritage.

The case is crafted from polished-brushed grey ceramic and treated with OMEGA’s plasma technology to achieve a subtle metallic sheen. Its brushed grey ceramic bezel features a laser-engraved tachymeter scale filled with white Super-LumiNova, delivering excellent legibility while maintaining the watch’s monochromatic aesthetic. With a 44.25 mm diameter and a 50 mm lug-to-lug measurement, the watch offers a bold profile with balanced proportions.

Beneath the sapphire crystal, the grey anodised aluminium dial is partially skeletonized to reveal a laser-ablated representation of the moon’s near side across the movement’s main plate and bridges. The far side of the moon can be viewed through the exhibition caseback, creating a holistic lunar theme throughout the watch.

The dial layout includes a small-seconds display at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute recorder at 3 o’clock, and a 12-hour recorder positioned at 6 o’clock. Greyed Moonwatch-style hands and bevelled indexes are filled with white Super-LumiNova that emits a green glow in low-light conditions.

The watch is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3869, featuring a unique Grey Edition finish. Laser texturing on the bridges and main plate creates an accurate lunar topography, while the caseback is engraved with the quote “THE MOON IS ESSENTIALLY GREY,” a nod to astronaut Jim Lovell’s observation during the Apollo 8 mission. As a manual-winding movement, the calibre offers a hands-on mechanical experience with a 50-hour power reserve and exceptional Master Chronometer performance.

Completing the watch is a grey rubber strap that features a detailed moon-surface pattern on the underside for added comfort and thematic consistency. The strap is secured with a ceramic foldover clasp supported by a ceramised titanium frame-spring mechanism, ensuring durability and a stable fit on the wrist.

With its plasma-treated grey ceramic case, lunar-surface movement, and manual-winding Master Chronometer calibre, the Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon stands as a striking and technically impressive tribute to OMEGA’s spacefaring history. It is an ideal choice for collectors who appreciate craftsmanship, innovation, and a design that pays homage to the Apollo missions.
