Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Watches

How to Choose Your OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Watch?

Unlike other OMEGA watch collections, the Dark Side of the Moon is available in a single 44.25 mm diameter, with black, grey or white ceramic depending on the version. The first criterion to consider is therefore not case size, but whether this substantial format suits the wearer's wrist. This watch is primarily suited to medium-to-large wrists, which can accommodate a case of this size without it appearing disproportionate.

The second criterion concerns thickness and weight. The 2025 generation has reduced the thickness of some versions to 15.09 mm, compared with 16 mm or more on previous models, which can make a noticeable difference when wearing the watch for extended periods. The skeletonised versions are even slimmer, at 12.97 mm, making them a relevant choice for those looking for a watch with a substantial diameter but greater comfort on the wrist.

The third consideration is the strap. The models are available with either a rubber strap or coated nylon strap, two materials well suited to sporting activities and a variety of weather conditions, unlike the metal or leather options found across other OMEGA collections. The choice therefore depends on the intended use: regular sports activities favour a rubber strap, while a more refined style pairs better with coated nylon.

Finally, the choice of dial—black, grey or white—and of function, either a traditional chronograph or a skeletonised version, comes down to personal aesthetic preference and budget, with prices ranging from €15,300 to €16,100 depending on the version.

Which Watch for Which Profile?

If you have a medium-to-large wrist → 44.25 mm Dark Side of the Moon.

If you are looking for greater everyday comfort → 15.09 mm slimmer version or 12.97 mm skeletonised version.

If your use is primarily sporty → rubber strap.

If you prefer a more refined look → coated nylon strap.

FAQ

Is the Dark Side of the Moon available in different sizes?
No. The case is offered in a single 44.25 mm diameter throughout the collection. Only the thickness and construction vary between versions, particularly between the standard models and the slimmer skeletonised versions.

Is the ceramic case fragile?
Ceramic offers excellent resistance to scratches and everyday wear, but it is more susceptible to severe impacts than a stainless steel case, particularly if the watch is dropped onto a hard surface. Careful handling is therefore recommended.

What is the difference between the Dark, Grey and White Side of the Moon versions?
These variations are primarily distinguished by the colour of the ceramic used for the case and dial—black, grey or white—as well as by certain dial finishes. The movement and overall construction remain broadly similar from one version to another.

Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, particularly the slimmer versions from the 2025 generation. The case nevertheless remains substantial in diameter, making it better suited to regular wear than occasional use for those accustomed to larger watches.

Does Auberi offer payment facilities?
Yes, Auberi offers payment in instalments via Alma, for amounts of up to €15,000, allowing customers to spread the cost of an OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon according to the model selected.
