Black Out Time with OMEGA

10/14/2025

​In an era defined by noise, distraction, and relentless motion, OMEGA invites us to do the opposite—black out time itself.

The newest evolution of the Speedmaster Dark and Grey Side of the Moon collection feels less like a watch launch and more like a meditative statement. Seven new models, carved in advanced ceramic and finished with obsessive precision, embody a kind of lunar calm. They’re sculpted reminders that sometimes the boldest thing one can do is to turn down the volume, dim the lights, and focus on what truly matters—craft, clarity, and control. Right?

Twelve years after the original Dark Side of the Moon redefined modern chronographs, this collection re-emerges leaner, more thoughtful, and more deliberate. Slimmer cases, new Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibres, and laser-brushed dials speak to OMEGA’s continual refinement of materials and form. The ceramic surfaces gleam with liquid-black intensity, their Liquidmetal details catching just enough light to suggest quiet power rather than flash. ​

​Among the standouts is the manual-winding Black Edition Co-Axial Master Chronometer 9908—minimalist yet muscular, featuring a matte dial and a flash of red chronograph hands for a singular blast of energy. The Apollo 8 edition, meanwhile, offers a literal journey to the far side of the Moon: a laser-ablated lunar surface on both sides of the movement, connecting wearers to the astronauts who first saw the Moon’s unseen face. These are instruments of precision, yes—but also portals to perspective.

​In a world that constantly demands our attention, OMEGA’s latest Speedmasters propose an elegant rebellion. To black out time is not to escape it—it’s to master it. And in doing so, OMEGA reminds us that simplicity, silence, and shadow can sometimes be the rarest luxuries of all. Let's all sign off.

    This journey is a return to my roots and an expansion of the passion I've held across years spent with some of the most influential media houses in the luxury space. At Condé Nast and Hearst, I learned to appreciate storytelling that resonates as deeply as it informs—my time with Surface Magazine cultivated my fascination with the intersection of art, design, and culture, while Watch Journal and Watches International sharpened my focus on the storied elegance and precision of horology and jewelry craftsmanship. Each role has shaped my vision for this blog and my commitment to sharing these narratives with depth and authenticity.
