These are the first Omega-Baselworld 2015-novelties I want to show you, there is of course more to come in the next days. Discover dozens of live taken pictures on six pages…
The Omega year 2015 will go down in history as the Speedmaster Festival. Omega unveils six new Speedmaster models and one revisited one. With the withe ceramic case of the White Side of the Moon and the new Black Black, Sedna Black, Pitch Black and Vintage Black models the Speedmaster collection rocks more than ever.
In brief this is what you need to know about the new Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon collection before I let you discover dozens of live taken pictures on six pages of the new Speedmaster models.
This is the official Omega picture showing the new collection (all others are mine) …
The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Black Black has a polished and brushed black ceramic casebody, a matt black ceramic dial and a black ceramic clasp on a black-coated nylon fabric strap. Giving this model its nickname are its brushed blackened Moonwatch-style hands and blackened applied indexes – all of which are coated with black Super-LumiNova. The familiar sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock are also matt black and the black ceramic bezel has a black lacquered tachymeter scale.
Combining Omega´s ceramic technology with its exclusive rose gold alloy, the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Sedna Black has a completely brushed black ceramic case with an 18 carat Sedna™ gold bezel ring which matches the 18 carat Sedna™ gold applied indexes and hands. The marks on the matt grey dial have been created using laser ablation. “Vintage” Super-LumiNova coats the central hour, minute and gold-plated chronograph seconds hands as well as the indexes and the two dots at 12 o’clock. This timepiece is presented on a black leather strap with a brushed ceramic fold over clasp.
The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Pitch Black is distinguished by the Super-LumiNova that coats the indexes on its matt black ceramic dial. The ceramic timepiece has a polished and brushed case body and a brushed ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale also in Super-LumiNova. The matt black sub-dials have varnished hands. The “Pitch Black” is presented on a black leather strap with ecru stitching and a ceramic foldover clasp.
The Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Vintage Black stands out with brown indexes and hands, which complement the “vintage” Super-LumiNova. The brushed ceramic bezel has a “vintage” Super-LumiNova tachymeter scale and, as with the other new models in this family, the matt ceramic dial has been created using laser technology. The “Vintage Black” has blackened central hands and varnished brown hands on the sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock. Another distinguishing feature is the brown leather strap, which gives this innovative timepiece a more classic appearance.
The four new timepieces share a case back design that hints at their common inspiration: the original Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon.
The black ceramic case back ring of each of these models features matt chromium nitride marks as well as the name of this iconic collection: “Dark Side of the Moon”.
Each of these black ceramic timepieces is powered by the Omega Co-Axial calibre 9300.

The number 8 in the date display and the chronograph hands look as though they have been hand painted with the Vintage Superluminova.
Is this correct?
Do you know if this is how the production watch will look?
Give me a Dark Side of the Moon with a brown strap please. The Snoopy homage is cool too. I like the entire collection.
No new master coaxial calibres?
