Omega at Swatch Group Reception
... there were some very impressive Omega at the reception.
See Home for other report:
Seamaster, Master Co-Axial in Titanium Case/ Bracelet.
Light, light, light, and cool!
Ti case has blue dial, SS case has black dial - a bit controversial? I could be fine either way, but black MAYBE my type.....
Spiral Cote de Geneve - unique!
And, here is what you don't see everyday (yet)...
CERAMIC Speedy.
Looks like metal case, but all ceramic. Light (Ti is lighter, though)!
Cool!
Zirconium Dioxide Ceramic, the buckle says.
Back side is doomy....
As a speedy fan, I really like this!
Thank you, Mr. Seki, of Omega Boutique!

My favorite of the new line
Thanks for the post. What is the official nick name? Light side, Bright side? When will it hit the US?
Haven't heard the "official" name...
.. but could be "bright side" - but the point is, as Nilo says, Omega is getting the knack of ceramic usage very fast. This one, or Dark Side, are certainly attractive issue. Feel the weight! Ken
Maybe Omega should bring on . . .
. . . Clint Eastwood . . . . . . as their next Ambassador. That way, they can call the new Speedy . . . . . . Blondie. :-) ...
It seems that Omega got a good grip on ceramic ...
first it was the Dark Side and now the Ligth Side. In respect to the SM 300 Master, my preference is for the classic SS version, close to the old one. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Nilo
Seamaster 300 in black...
I prefer that over the titanium/blue. Part of the charm of the reissue from it's 1957 predecessor is its nostalgic, vintage look which, for my taste, the black carries much more than the blue. That ceramic Speedy, though ~ looking good! What is the dial m...
I believe that it is also ZrO2....
... meaning, ceramic also. This is the grey side version of the "dark side of the moon" Speedy! Ken
How could I not recognize that it is a twin...
of the DSOTM. Duh! I think I was enamored by its gray dial. :-) Aloha, Bob
Very nice pictorial !.. Some Qs be allowed : the one with grey dial ..
1/ is this one the "Grey Side of the Moon" ( as obviously Zirconium Ceramic, as you wrote) ? - is there one, where also the case is grey ? - Blomman posted one (?).. 2/ is the Black Side of the Moon, ( Black case, black dial ) then also with the same mate...
Hey, hs111...
1. The case of the "Grey Side of the Moon" is actually "grey", which I thought was hairlined SS, but it is in fact ceramic! 2.As far as I understand, the material are the same for both Dark Side and Grey Side... Tempting, huh? :-) Ken
Hmmmh.. Indeed, this Grey Side/ Ceramic is a temptation for 2015 !
I really thought, it's time to add a modern Omega to my trustworthy (105 003) Speedmaster, and my humble little Vintages from the 40 ies.. ;) - Only other one, that came near would be an Aqua Terra GMT.. Best & HAGWE ! hs PS: Here some few shots from my h...
105.003 looks so nice...
.. cool Omega collection! I do have a box of Omega, too LOL. Mostly Genta/ Constellation, though. Grey side of the moon would be very nice addition! Ken
You already have a superb Speedmaster, my friend.
I am curious to see what you will grab in 2015! Best, Nicolas
Yes, indeed, a much loved Speedy.. 2015.. Hmmmh- there are certain wishes & targets..;)
.. one Vintage, a Seamaster 300 would be on my list of Objects of Desire. - One modern, as said ( the Ceramic Grey Side of the Moon Speedo, or maybe an Aqua Terra GMT).. But much depends on what is happening on my JLC & Rolex Vintage agenda & SIHH '15.. W...
