Omega

To celebrate the sailing partnership between OMEGA and ALINGHI, the legendary Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon has been given this truly innovative design. The 44.25 mm model is crafted in black ceramic, with an ALINGHI logo in red varnish on the stop/st...  

Thanks Tony !

It should have been a Seamaster.

Team Alinghi have a red logo 🤔

But having some experience with sailboat racing, I see this as something you'd wear to the party afterwards, not on the boat. At least I'd be reluctant on a watch with minimal water resistance to exercise those pushers in such a wet environment, not to me... 

Valid points.

Known here as an Omega loving watch enthusiast, not every Omega gives me goose bumps. To much carbon, carbon look, much black is so dark. I like light, gold, silver, platina, rose gold, titanium, aluminium, stainless steel, brushed, polished and shiny.

Hi all, Whilst its nice to see Omega trying fresh new things this whole watch makes very little sense to me its not a race car or space connection that both have links with or to a Speedmaster but a Yachting connection so water and a perfect fit for a Sea... 

here, now idea what happened or who thought about it. Just odes not make logical sense in the history of the Speedmaster 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Though Seamaster wud have made more sense

this is not a limited edition? Like the America's Cup Planet Ocean, it should be limited I only buy limited editions, wink wink... I have to say Red hints on Black looks good, not to say the logo or what, just the color combination is nice.

So far my favorite is my Porsche Club of America Speedmaster. ...  

A little more water resistance would also help.

Since my last post I looked it up on Omega's website and was surprised to find that this comes in a less fancy box then the Apollo 8 or other Dark Side of the Moon watches and comes in a PloProf type box. Now the biggest shock for me is that this version ...
