One of the new Omega 2014 novelties: http://www.watch-insider.com/news/ba...ega-novelties/

Apparently it's called the Omega Speedmaster Lunar Dust. Going to cost about the same as the Dark Side of The Moon.

I have a sneaky suspicion Omega is gunning to do a new ceramic Speedmaster each year, now that they've got the ability to produce a nicely finished ceramic case with pushers etc. I love my DSOTM.

Nice watch.

Suprageex · 29 March 2014, 09:47 PM

If only they'd get rid of the date window.

capote · 29 March 2014, 10:16 PM

Good deal if it costs the same as the DSOM considering the platina dial.

speedy_master1 · 29 March 2014, 10:55 PM

looks 10 times better then the dark side of the moon.

maxtor71 · 30 March 2014, 01:37 AM

The article I shared in my first post seems to indicate that it's a 'platinum dial'. Whatever it is, the colour reminds me of the dial of my Apollo Soyuz, well, without the random patterns of course.

I think I'll be clearing a spot next to my DSOTM for some Lunar Dust next year :).

Have to say that the more I see of this Watch, the more I like it....

I liked the DSOM as well, but felt too much like some of the other offerings on the wrist (the 9300 speedmaster had the same wrist presence, and a nicer strap)..

But this looks totally like nothing else in the stable...

Could be a must-have...

hopefully will not have to wait until January 2015...

Urosfan · 31 March 2014, 02:34 AM

Def looks better than dsom i agree should get rid of date window

richard371 · 31 March 2014, 06:37 AM

It's platinum plated I read. Nice looking watch but the DSOTM is just more original and sexier. I bet the original will be more collectible but this one will be a better choice for people who don't like all black. I'm sure you will get the few lucky people that own both lol.

Nice variation of the DSOTM. I still prefer the looks of the regular 9300 version, though.

maxtor71 · 1 April 2014, 07:05 PM

Fantastic pictures, possibly the best I've seen of the watch so far. Thanks Cru! Definitely looking like a must have.

The Speedmaster 57 shows that Omega can do the Cal. 9300 in 41.5mm. I really hope that they bring the DSOTM and LD in that size too. It really looks good though. The case looks fantastic and the dial is beautiful.

The speedmaster 57 was ruined by PCL's. Something Omega seem to be making a habit of

I'm no fan of PCL on any watch, still its a pretty easy fix

benlee · 6 April 2014, 10:11 PM

This is nicer than the DSOTM. The ceramic finishing is fabulous.

nishant · 8 April 2014, 06:17 AM

WOW ! The best real life pics I ve seen of this one. If you dont mind, I would just share one on IG. So hot !!!! I so want one ..

Rashid.bk · 8 April 2014, 07:50 AM

Looks amazing, hard to believe that it's ceramic. Omega is on another level.

I just saw the engraving after you said that. That would be the piece to own.

Wesley Crusher · 8 April 2014, 11:52 AM

Shouldn't the back of the case say Lunar Dust?

totally agree.

Hodinkee just posted a mini-review with more pix: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hands-o...nal-lunar-dust

Pretty interesting note about the bezel:

"Additionally, the ceramic bezel on the Lunar Dust has been filled with luminescent material, so it (along with the hour markers and hands) actually glows in the dark – a small but cool addition."

Looking forward to the first lume shot!

Also, pretty interesting about the ceramic case:

"The cool grey case begins as a solid block of bright white ceramic, which is then superheated to 20,000º F, turning the material completely grey, all the way through."

If only it were thinner....

Lgear080 · 8 April 2014, 09:12 PM

I remember looking at the omega case at Basel thinking, oh they made the dsotm in another color.

MCHI09 · 8 April 2014, 11:07 PM

Is the case the same color as the DSOT? It almost looks lighter but perhaps that is a reflection off the dial...
