The Moon - Omega Speedmaster Moon Phase ...
Team,
That is a watch that one can only appreciate "in metal".
Saw pictures of it, saw one on a glass stand in Bienne and it didn't look that nice.
In metal, everything changes.
First, the Moon! Magic. Notice Buzz Aldrin footprint. Cool!
Buzz Aldrin, live on stage, during the recent London event.
Fresh pictures from this morning.
Balance, aesthetics, cool to the extreme.
B&W, just for tradition.
Lume shot:
This Speedmaster is powered by the Omega 9904 (with quick set date and Moon phase) that's also METAS (Master Chronometer) certified.
I saw this certification "live" and I'm still impressed with the entire process.
Here's the test results from this particular watch, gathered from the Omega My Omega site:
| Type of test | Results | Test limits |
| FUNCTION OF COSC-APPROVED MOVEMENT DURING EXPOSURE TO 15,000 GAUSS (1.5 Tesla) MAGNETIC FIELD | passed | 15,000 gauss |
| FUNCTION OF WATCH DURING EXPOSURE TO 15,000 GAUSS MAGNETIC FIELD | passed | 15,000 gauss |
| DEVIATION OF DAILY CHRONOMETRIC PRECISION AFTER EXPOSURE TO 15,000 GAUSS | 0,9 sec / day | 0 to 5 sec/day |
| AVERAGE DAILY CHRONOMETRIC PRECISION OF THE WATCH | 2,5 sec / day | 0 to 5 sec/day |
| POWER RESERVE | passed | 60 hours |
| DEVIATION OF CHRONOMETRIC PRECISION IN SIX POSITIONS | 3,7 sec / day | 0 to 12 sec/day |
| DEVIATION OF CHRONOMETRIC PRECISION BETWEEN 100% and 33% OF POWER RESERVE | 0,8 sec / day | 0 to 8 sec/day |
| WATER RESISTANCE | passed | 10 bar (100 m/330 ft) |
| Note: 15,000 Gauss=1.5 Tesla. (Most installed clinical MRI scanners are built around a 1.5 Tesla (T) magnet) |
Thanks for seeing.
Cheers,
Nilo

Love it
And seriously thinking of getting one soon. Do you know the depth of it ? Coming from Deep Sea / Hublot territory I'm keen to know - obviously it's thinner but if you have a measurement would be great.
Fantastic watch dear Nilo!! And your superb photography showing it in all its Glory!!...
... the foot print detail is a delicious and charming touch! You know... I´m waiting for mine since some months now... already paid! Ufff!! In my land things do not work so fast or smoothly as it should be! Lol! But my AD never failed me! so ... I need to...
Totally with you on this watch, and the METAS results from the Omega website...
At first I hesitated because I'm suspecting a ceramic case will appear with this dial. Then, my "boss" said we should buy watch when we travel to Switzerland, right? So I took the plunge and is still glad I did. Great picture, as always, Nilo. Thank you. ...
