Released in 2013, it was the first Top quality omega speedmaster dark side of the moon replica with an all ceramic case – that meant all case components, pushers, crown, and even the dial itself was crafted from this old-new material.In case you have just recently developed your interest for watches, or had been living in a cave with no WiFi for the last few years, we will quickly wrap up what you need to know about the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon.
Co-Axial movements by Omega have been around for the better part of 15 years now, and the 9300 really showcases a level of finishing and quality of execution that matches the ingenuity of the late George Daniels’ co-axial escapement.The movement inside the omega speedmaster dark side of the moon replica is the in-house Omega 9300 Co-Axial, a column wheel chronograph caliber with an automatic winding two-register dial layout – this fact holds true for the four new versions as well, as we still have to wait a bit before Omega extended its range of Master Co-Axial, highly anti-magnetic calibers.
These details together render the 9300 a genuinely modern caliber – and also help better justify the considerable premium paid over other the omega speedmaster moon replica for example.The Omega 9300 movement also packs Omega’s more recent developments: a free-sprung balance with a silicon balance spring, a series-coupled double barrel configuration that provides 60 hours or 2.5 days of power reserve, and some rather extensive and beautiful finishing on all plates and bridges.
The sloping curves running through the side of the case and onto the lugs, as well as the pushers and crown, have all been shaped and finished in a way that they remain true to the original Omega Speedmaster aesthetics – while also being a modern, high-tech iteration of that.What made it really special, however, is that Omega did not stop halfway through and compromise when developing this new range of Speedies, but instead put the necessary efforts into refining the material to a level where it accurately mimics the finishing seen on the original, steel omega speedmaster replica.
