I picked up one from an Omega Boutique earlier today. Amazing piece. I switched to the clasp and a large strap. A couple of times I came really close to getting one of the Dark Side’s and went into the OB and they had this one. I said I would like that one and spent some of the kid’s inheritances and figured they could fight over it when I’m gone.

I actually think it's kind of poetic that this watch represents the pinnacle of human technological achievement by housing a piece of a celestial body in it, yet reminds us of our humble beginnings as a species by placing it in a "rudimentary" leather strap.

Because of the 9300 caliber’s jumping hour function, if you start the chrono at noon or midnight you can indeed track 2 time zones. My favorite hack.
@stewester3 жыл бұрын
2-3 mm smaller and I'd seriously consider this watch. It's incredible but the size just completely rules it out for me and plenty of others I'd imagine.
@johnclifford19112 жыл бұрын
This is a variant of the finest chronometer that Omega has ever made. The 9300 movement is incredibly accurate... my individual sample will keep within a second day-to-day. I have the same model watch featured in this video, and it was my grail watch (even though I could have purchased a Daytona, etc.). The dial is gorgeous, and looks different depending on how it catches the light. It's a subtle watch, elegant, and often people have to take a second look to realize what it is and how beautifully crafted and finely made that it is. And, it is a very scarce variant because of the dial. Yes, it's expensive, but it will hold its value over time. A fine watch is an investment, and if you're into Omega this is a good investment.

Thank you for this video. What a lovely watch. I like this vintage touch to the super sporty and still looking modern Speedmaster. The details are amazing. I also like the new Speedmaster with lunar stones integrated in the sub dials. ❤️ For sure the Speedmaster is my grail. Beautiful, universal, timeless and memorable.

That's awesome....Love it 😍 Surprised that ceramic is lighter than stainless, dunno why I expected it to be heavy. I get what you mean about wanting the purity of the original styled ones, but tbh I'd have this in a heartbeat if my lottery numbers came up- that dial coming from space clinches it, and it's a bonus its beautiful too (+ I prefer an auto) Impeccable timing with the video too mate, very classy.

"maybe it would boot the sapphire sandwich that we're all drawn too as watch enthusiasts". I don't like things just because people like them. I don't nuthug the speedypro just because iTs bEeN n SpACe. This watch is better in everyway excluding the new speedy bracelet. Additionally as someone who has tried on some grand seikos with titanium bracelets. I know i would downright hate this watch if they made a bracelet out of the ceramic. The GS titanium bracelets taught me that when i see a bracelet that looks steel but isn't steel, my mind automatically perceives it as cheap plastic even if i know its an exotic ceramic/titanium material. Only thing i'd change on this watch is removing the domed crystal on the back to make it less (obnoxiously) thick.
@erikkalifornia5182 Жыл бұрын
They couldn't make a ceramic bracelet. I have the Grey Side that has a partially ceramic fold over clasp which is gorgeous, but they had to use titanium because when they tried ceramic it would crack. A ceramic bracelet would just not work. And they clearly don't want to use steel or Titanium instead...

@skylerphoenix88802 жыл бұрын
Hi - I have this watch and a non-chrono 300 sea master. If u had to keep both if keep this ceramic meteorite. To me, the choice comes down to the more exquisite tech of ceramic, the redness of the gold, the travel-time-zone movement that jumps the date back and forth, and the meteorite dial. The sea master has the depth rating going for it if you’re going to swim in it. So are you looking for sleek, light, hi-tek - or heavier substantial steel depth? Oh, and I wear a lot of grey and anthracite suits and cashmere pullovers so these colors are great. And I don’t live in humid climates so the leather strap is great and as good as metal or ceramic because of the great clasp.

I have this watch and must disagree. While it is not as substantial as steel, it is NOT fragile. I also have a sub and this watch is better for n terms of beauty, tech materials, and movement, albeit not in depth. Finish your s a draw. Contrast between the two comes down to tech luxury vs simplicity (again except for depth and/vs chrono).
