In this video, we go hands-on with Omega’s recently released Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon. We covered it in-depth here, but also decided to shoot a video with this new ceramic Speedmaster.

Inspired by Apollo 8
In this video, I went through the background story with NASA (Apollo 8). This is important, as it was the inspiration for Omega to “go gray” with the ceramic Speedmaster. You will also see how it looks on the wrist from different angles and get a closer look at its new caliber 3869. This 3861-based movement features laser ablation on the bridges to mimic the Moon’s surface.
Enjoy the video! For an overview of the Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon specifications, see the table below.
