Honouring OMEGA’s legacy of space exploration, this Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon features a 44.25 mm case in polished-brushed black ceramic. The polished bezel is also made from black ceramic and features a tachymeter scale in Liquidmetal™.
Beneath the front sapphire crystal, the ceramic dial has been sand-blasted by laser and includes a small-seconds display at 9H, and a 60-minute and 12-hour recorder at 3H. The hour and minute hands, as well as the bevelled indexes, are all blackened and filled with black Super-LumiNova (green emission). The central chronograph hand is red varnished for a distinctive appearance.
Visible through the caseback, OMEGA’s manual-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908 has been given a special “black edition” finish , which includes a matte-blackened main plate and bridges, as well as black varnished engravings. The watch is worn on a black rubber strap with a lunar surface pattern on the underside, a ceramic foldover clasp, and ceramised titanium frame-spring folders.
Patek Philippe is reinterpreting this model with a dial bearing an original zebra motif inspired by the Ref. 5738/50G-023 Golden Ellipse wristwatch. To recreate the visual interplay of the stripes with the zebra firmly in the foreground, the Manufacture has applied an innovative and refined technique involving a sapphire crystal dial engraved and black varnished on both sides. The zebra motif is then completed with black metallization and white varnish on the underside of the sapphire crystal dial, thus creating magnificent volume and depth effects. The time is displayed by two applied Breguet numerals at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock swept over by rose gold leaf-shaped hands.
The second chapter in the BR-X3 saga, propelling Bell & Ross’s iconic BR-03 into a new contemporary dimension, the BR-X3 Night Vision expands the avant-garde X3 series by adopting the visual efficiency of the head-up night display found in the most sophisticated aircraft. Drawing inspiration from flight instruments has enabled Bell &Ross to develop specific expertise in designing watches with photoluminescent properties, ensuring perfect legibility both day and night. With an innovative construction, its case blends advanced components and cutting-edge materials, cloaked in a luminous techno-futuristic camouflage. Like the two other timepieces in the inaugural BR-X3 trilogy—the BR-X3 Black Titanium and the BR-X3 Blue Steel—the BR-X3 Night Vision houses the BRCAL.323 caliber, a manufacture automatic movement with a five-year warranty. As a professional instrument inspired by nighttime aerial missions, the BR-X3 Night Vision is produced in a limited edition of 250 pieces.
