Great review. I initially was looking at the standard moon watch, but after seeing this up close and hearing of all of the advanced technology and materials, this is an amazing watch. I am very particular always being very careful with my watches and with the sapphire and all ceramic case I would be able to wear this watch and not be able to worry so much about small scratches. It will take a while to save for this one, but I think it will be well worth it!

Glad it helped! The classic speedy is great but this is something really special and unlikely you’ll see someone else with it, and as you pointed out it’s a watch you’ll never need to worry about damaging - except for if you give it a really hard knock then the ceramic might crack...but apart from that it’ll look good as new forever :)

WARNING - design ERROR: 7 beats/sec (7 jumps of the chrono-hand per sec) with VISUAL 1/4 second MARKERS is a MISMATCH; so fractions of a second CANNOT BE READ accurately. THIS IS Omega’s trick through 60 years, FRAUD that saves money in addition to being plain silly, and CRIMINAL towards the consumer. 7 beats/sec only fits 1/7th visual markers; 8 beats/sec fits 1/2, 1/4th & 1/8th sub-second markers; 6 beats/sec needs 1/6th or 1/3rd of a second markers. I don’t suppose a chrono-hand can be stopped between the beats of its movent, in the middle of a jump. Naturally, it CANNOT. Is this LAUGHABLE ? Sure. And it affects MOST of the omega chronograph MODELS. 25200 beats per 3600 seconds = 7 beats per second. DO THE SIMPLE MATH. If the FREQUENCY doesn’t fit with the visual fractions of a second MARKERS, it is FRAUD.

Hey Shah..... I just got one. Friend of my had a hard on for another watch and after one year he sold it to me for 7k. Mint condition. Very nice value and beautiful. By the way out of the three downsides you mentioned, two does not bother me. the weight and the height. For me, they are plus but you are right about the difficulties of the crown. My Rolex Sea Dweller has the same issue. Just gotta be careful. Thanks for the review, it was very informational.

Oh wow! That's a great deal! Regarding the downsides, I can definitely understand how the height & weight wouldn't be an issue especially if you have a Sea Dweller - end of the day the +/- segment is the most subjective/opinion based part of the review so that's why I always have it in the later part of the video, I know plenty of people who just like yourself don't mind or even lik a watch that's got some more heft to it as much as people like me who prefer them to be lighter & not as tall. Wherever you stand on it overall though the Grey Side of the Moon is still an amazing watch, enjoy it in good health :)

Nice review Shah, I really like this version of the Speedmaster. Personally its way to big for me but what a fantastic movement! I believe Ceramic is the way to go and opens a whole new opportunity for Omega. Its a breath of fresh air. Hopefully theyll roll our more ceramic pieces but for the smaller wrist. Great vid, keep up the great work.👍

Thanks Scott! I agree, it'd be great if they could scale it down to maybe a 42, and definitely work on that thickness - fingers crossed that's in the works, along with more ceramic options across other ranges. I know they've done a few full ceramic Planet Oceans (smallest one being a 39.5mm in brown ceramic with Sedna rose gold accents) & they also did a full ceramic Seamaster Diver 300M so the future looks bright :)

True there’s always the trade off, I (knock on wood) have never dropped or knocked my watches hard so it’s probably not something that’d be a huge concern for me, but soft knocks & friction happen a lot more so I’m more worried about scratches. But yeah, if hard impacts & drops are a concern I 100% agree going with a metal - thankfully Omega has its Speedmaster coaxial in both steel & titanium too and with the same movement as this, so there’s one for everyone :)

I am a dedicated Rolex collector, I don't want to say how many because you probably wouldn't believe me anyway but I bought my first Sub in 1982. With that said I have a love hate relationship with the brand as I'm sure many other long time collectors have experienced. I have been trying to find something to purchase for years just to mix it up a bit ( Finely ) but never have been able to do it but this is the one. The funny thing is I have 2 different watches at the same time that I feel good enough taking the leap on & on paper I shouldn't really like. First I think 40mm is the perfect size for a sport watch so I don't particularly like oversized watches, not a big fan of chrono"s but this Omega is simply too special not to love. I would go as far to say even if you didn't wear it this would be a work of art under a glass case just to admire. Hats off to Omega for their incredible ingenuity in design, material sciences & execution. As for the my second choice it's a brand that I should like but never saw the appeal. its the new Tudor Black Bay bronze with the new grey dial, finally a Tudor that doesn't make me think it was a second choice to a Rolex. I guess its time to plan my next bank heist, thanks for the terrific review!

Thanks Scott & glad you liked the review! I have to agree, this is a watch that very could be just an art piece on the wrist or on display, and definitely if you're looking to have a change from Rolex this is about as un-rolex as it gets with the ceramic case, hybrid strap, two register chronograph, see through caseback - and while Rolex did do the platinum dial Yacht Master 16622, they don't have anything in their current collection with a platinum dial. Your second choice is defnitely a good one too, I'm not 100% sold on the look of bronze for me personally, but that dial is amazing and I think its un-rolexness is exactly what gives you that feeling that its not a second choice rolex. Good luck with choosing & with that heist hehe! Thanks for watching & commenting :)

@@ShahLusso Thanks for your reply. I can understand your hesitation with regards to bronze & it is a bit of a niche. As my first Rolex was a 16800 Submariner that I bought new from a AD in 1982, I just naturally love the dive watch segment but it just seems that most dive watches come across as homage watches to the Submariner. I know that can't be helped as there is a established format for dive watches. I think that's why I like the new Tudor as its clearly a dive watch but defiantly its own unique thing & the fact that it has all the charm of a vintage piece but in modern proportions makes it wearable. I love the contrast of the warm tones of the gilt print up against the cool grey dial surrounded by the bronze case, it doesn't come off as a want to be Submariner Which really appeals to me. Its funny, you would think the original version with the brown dial & bezel would be a natural but I really didn't like it when I tried it on but when I tried the new version it was like a completely different watch, crazy how that works.

Great looking watch---my favorite Omega ever, but it's too thick and a bit overpriced. I'd rather have a few other watches in the 6-7.5k range so I'm not paying an extra 3-6 k basically ever. Hell, you could, depending on the discount, likely score a Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton AND the El Primero Cronomaster for the price of this one watch. Still, not hating on anyone for buying this watch. In my opinion this is nicer than 99% of the watches out there.

Have to agree, the new price is pretty steep (guessing that platinum dial gives them license to bump up the price) but the pre-owned the low end around 7-8 isn't that bad. Good choice on the Defy Clasic + El Primero for the price of this one on its own, really is testament to how good the value is from Zenith. Thanks for watching & commenting :)

Love my GSOTM. Ceramic in terms of weight is between steel and titanium, so it's not going to be as light as titanium. It also has a robust steel movement and sapphire on both sides as you mention, so the weight, while less that the full bracelet speed, or even the speedmaster is not as light as a full Ti watch. In terms of weight, watches are on our wrist, how light does it need to be? In terms of thickness, I don't think Omega is any thickerr than the the average. Big watch brands using Valjoux 7750 movements are generally thicker than even this 16.5mm watch. This watch wears thinner than the 16.5mm in my opinion. I had a Tudor black bay that was supposedly only 15mm thick, but it was 15mm slab of steel. Viewed from the side, it looked like a huge slab of steel, i hated it. This looks and feels pretty thin on the wrist, I agree the 44.25mm case helps with that.
@ShahLusso
@ShahLusso Жыл бұрын
Yeah I used to own the same Black Bay Chrono and I have to agree - the Grey Side definitely feels thinner even though on paper it’s thinner - I think because they still use that slimmer mid case it just breaks up the thickness of the watch compared to the slab sided Tudor

You are WRONG!!! Tall, heavy and substantial watches ARE a very good thing!!! When I am spending so much money on a watch I WANT it to be a presence on my wrist to be reckoned with. Originally I was concerned that the watch, being ceramic, would be too light, but after watching your video and hearing you mention that it is a heavy watch, my heart skipped three beats in joy and I was thrilled. When you mentioned that it would not be able to hide under a shirt cuff I was overjoyed because now I could show off the watch and not feel as if I was deliberately doing so because it would be the watch’s ‘fault’ that it was not able to be tucked under the shirt cuff ha ha. When you mentioned that Omega tried to make the watch look slim because of the design of the midsection, but that the two sapphire crystals sandwiching the watch made it thick, I wanted to throw a block party to celebrate!!! So, my friend, you made a great video, but please do not speak for the rest of us when you assume that these are cons. Not putting you down, mind you, and all respect to you for producing such an informative video, just saying that a thick heavy watch can also be a good thing.

Hehe no offense taken - I leave the pros/cons section for the end on purpose because that's the more opinion/preference based part while the facts stay at the beginning, and I always hope/assume that people will pick and choose which of those pros/cons matter to them or even count as pros or cons respectively. That being said though I'm glad you don't mind any of the cons I pointed out because it's a great watch overall, the gray ceramic is such a unique look compared to steel, titanium or black ceramic and if the thickness isn't an issue (or better yet a plus point) then you're in for a killer movement too with the anti-magnetism, time zone function, and IMO the best solution to making a two register chrono :)

Very few companies can compare to GS when it comes to hands - especially at this price point. That being said though, with the current Grand Seiko range's chronographs are a bit to chunky for my taste (SBGC205, SBGC223 etc) - so its hard to make a 1 to 1 comparison for a direct competitor to the Gray Side of the Moon. But if we're talking others in the Omega range....Grand Seiko offers plenty of reasons to pick their time+date watches over something like an Aqua Terra. Thanks for watching & commenting :)

This is a classic design based on a 50s design made famous in the 60s. It would look a bit weird if they suddenly slapped some Zaratsu polished hands on there. While most watch fans can respect the spring drive and amazing finish on a GS, many of us are repulsed by the case and bracelet design choices. Each manufacturer has their own secret sauce that keeps fans coming back for more. The GSotM isn’t really trying to directly compete with GS or vice versa.

A few corrections on that: The 9900 and the 9300 in the Gray Side of the Moon is actually a 28,800 VPH movement, and the new 3861 and the old 1861 were both 21,600. It's only the 8500/8800/8900 based calibres (for now) that are 25,200 vph ones - and none of those are chronos. Secondly, Omega has only been using the 25,200 beat rate since 2007 when they introduced the 8500 so a fair bit less than the sixty years you mentioned. And lastly, more as a matter of opinion, even if they did have 1/8th or 1/6th based hour markers on a 3.5hz watch, calling it criminal and fraud is a bit extreme...lazy or lack of attention to detail at worst. But considering their chronos don't use the 3.5hz calibres, that ends up being just a theoretical exercise.

This is not the first time I’ve seen you cut and paste this deranged rant about 3.5 vs 4Hz Omega movements. I just found four sources in the space of a few minutes that confirm this is a 4Hz movement.
