Key Points from the Discussion

The key difference of the Korona K3 Black Moon is its display of the New Moon instead of the Full Moon, a deliberate and possibly unique feature in watchmaking, inspired by a book connecting the Black Moon to the mythological figure Lilith.
A previous speculation about future Sarpaneva models, 'Aurora' and 'Dark Eclipse,' was incorrect, confirming the Black Moon as the actual new release.
The Sarpaneva website is provided as a resource for more information on the brand and its watches.
Key features of the Korona K3 Black Moon include a New Moon indicator, moon display at 12 o'clock, black DLC coating, and a limited edition of 20 pieces.
The watch is met with strong positive reactions, with multiple contributors expressing their love for the Black Moon.
A question is raised about whether the New Moon indicator is the only difference between this version and the original K3.
