Hands-on: OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon ALINGHI. What a beautiful chronograph!

@OMEGA

With this 4K-video, accentuated by Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Concerto No. 2 “Summer”, we present you a truly beautiful Omega Speedmaster chronograph. The combination of black & red simply is stunning. The 44.25 mm Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Alinghi is crafted in black ceramic, with an Alinghi logo in red varnish on the stop/start pusher. Through the skeletonized dial and the see-through case-back the Omega-Calibre 1865 is visible that has been laser-ablated with a honeycomb effect on the main plate and barrel bridge, as well as a black carbon pattern on all other bridges. These effects are inspired by the hull of the Alinghi TF35 catamaran.

A 4-minute and 5-minute countdown function features in red on the 3 o’clock subdial, while the traditional hand of the 6 o’clock subdial has been replaced by a sandblasted and anodized aluminium disc, which rotates with the Alinghi logo transferred in red.The tachymeter scale is in Super-LumiNova, while the perforated black rubber strap includes a red rubber interior.
