Omega’s Legendary Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Review
November 6, 2025You might have seen watches that tell time, but this guide reviews the one that tells stories. Here at Precision Watches, an authorized OMEGA retailer and service center in Lower Gwynedd Township, PA, we recently had the opportunity to spend time with this new model in person. We’re talking about none other than the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon with its grey side edition. This showstopper model pays tribute to Omega’s unbeatable legacy in space exploration. This tribute to it, with its moon’s enigmatic surface evolves the overall aesthetics of Omega watches.
While the original Moonwatch celebrated the first human steps on the Moon, this Omega Dark Side of the Moon story revolves around the mysterious lunar shadow. Every aspect of this timepiece represents a fusion of the latest technology, cosmic artistry, and watchmaking mastery. If you don’t believe us, take a close look at it, from its grey ceramic case to the laser-like movement.
Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Specs
The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon specs are detailed, diverse, and inspiring. Its case is made up of plasma-treated grey ceramic, and the dial is skeletonized grey anodized aluminum with moon-surface engraving. The thickness is around 12.97mm, while the diameter is about 44.25mm. The lug-to-lug is 50.00 mm, whereas the 21mm distance is between lugs. Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3869 (manual winding) takes charge of the movement.
The power reserve is 50 hours, which is pretty impressive. The design looks more dashing due to the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that has an anti-reflective coating on both sides. Moreover, the water resistance is 50 meters (5 bar per 165 feet). The strap consists of a grey rubber with a moon-surface pattern on the underside, adding more to the overall Omega Dark Side of the Moon design. The grey ceramic foldable clasp is equipped with a ceramized titanium frame, which makes it more expensive.

Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Ceramic Case
Omega has been the visionary in ceramic technology and this watch is the perfect example of their innovation. The Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon ceramic case adds an interesting twist to it with its plasma-treated grey material. Its manufacturers use an advanced heating process to transform white ceramic into a sleek metallic grey color without utilizing any actual metal. This transformation has made the watch scratch-resistant and lightweight despite the ceramic construction. Despite being made entirely of ceramic material, it feels solid and luxurious while maintaining the depth and sophistication of the real metal. Impressive, right?
The case measures around 44.25 mm. It is made up of balanced proportions and smooth contours, making it hard to ignore. The best part is that the wearer wouldn’t feel overbearing due to its lightweight. The brushed grey ceramic bezel, along with its laser-engraved tachymeter scale, glows unmatchably because of its white Super-LumiNova filling. These features make the watch functional and artistic.
Omega Dark Side of the Moon Design
The Omega Dark Side of the Moon design truly shines. A skeletonized grey anodized aluminum dial is under the domed sapphire crystal. The architectural inspiration behind it is the Moon’s rugged terrain. Each bit of the dial is laser-ablated, which mimics the Moon’s uneven surface. This design emphasizes Omega’s commitment to revive technical perfection into artistic mastery.
The near side of the moon, which is easily visible, appears on the dial. On the other hand, the “Far side,” which isn’t visible to the Earth, is displayed on the back through a sapphire caseback.
The layout of the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon for sale is just like any other Speedmaster tradition:
- Small seconds appear at 9 o’clock
- The 30-minute recorder appears at 3 o’clock
- The 12-hour recorder appears at 6 o’clock
White Super-LumiNova is inside the greyed Moonwatch-style hands and beveled indexes. It emits a green glow, which makes the overall look more celestial.
Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Movement
The Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3869 is powering the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon movement. This caliber is certified by METAS as a Master Chronometer and has a majestic decoration. Its movement is visible through the transparent caseback. It clearly showcases the powerful and intricate engraving of the machinery. This makes the spectator wonder about the technical refinement of the Caliber 3869.
Caliber 3869 has manual winding that exudes the original Moonwatch spirit. Its co-axial escapement reduces the friction for long-term accuracy. It also has anti-magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss and chronograph precision with a column wheel mechanism.
