Three Interesting 'Black & White' Models of 2010 Collection

Besides the well-liked  Plongeur Professional 1200 ,  three other models which I think are quite interesting in the OMEGA 2010 collections with black or white dials - the Speedmaster Professional Moonphase Chronograph with blackened Aventurine dial, the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph  Apollo Soyuz  "35th Anniversary" and Specialities Museum Limited Edition.

Firstly, the Speedmaster Professional Moonphase Chronograph with blackened Aventurine dial.
At different light angle, the bluish aventurescence magnifies or dims, coupled with a iridescent MOP moon-phase, it gives an impression this moonwatch is in the centre of the galaxy.










The adventurine glass is produced by adding of metal oxide during the glass-founding process to increase the shimmering reflective effect.










Next is the LE of 1975 pieces - Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph  Apollo Soyuz  "35th Anniversary" with a meteorite dial.








 







A few close-up pictures, display the dial is from a single piece of spacestone -meteorite, by observing the continuous crystaline grain
from the black portion of the dial through the sub-dials.




The black colour was achieved through a surface oxidation process, while the silvery sub-dials are the natural colour of the meteorite.










And the third one is the Specialities Museum Limited Edition Ref: 516.53.39.50.09.001 or some may called it  Museum No. 10 . 
Limited production unit of 1938 pieces. For previous press release of the "Milestone 1941", please  click here .      

This elegant 'doctor-chronograph',  is housed in a 39mm yellow gold case and ran by the COSC certified manual winding Caliber Omega 3203 with column wheel mechanism and Co-Axial Escapement  and a power reserve of 55 hours.


Spotting a pulsometer  with a long 30 pulsations. Continuous small seconds hand at 9H and  30-minute counter at 3H.


Dome anti-reflective crystal and beautiful blued hands.


Solid caseback with serial number (a prototype piece with Serial 0000/1938).


Case is also decorated with alternating polish and satin-brush finishing for better constrast.
