Personally, I would nominate this as Omega's Busy-ness watch of the year. Way too much going on for my taste. And I'd definitely prefer a white or yellow gold disc for the Moon, rather than a cheesey Photoshop job. (even if the Moon is made of cheese)
Interesting, i like this better than other moonphase watches omega has tried to make. kinda has its own thing going
There will be more colors available, I'm assuming they will show all the other colors at Basel. I'm curious if there is a green and if it will look like a Submariner Hulk. Personally, I love blue, but I'm all for diversity. Form factor is an issue for me on this piece, I can pull off 44mm, but the thickness (17mm) will be very interesting to assess on the wrist. Count me in the "love it" category for now.
Looks super tall-at least in this photo
Perhaps more on par with the 8500 PO than the 9300 DSOM
I like it. Not so worried about the 44mm, but the 17mm thickness could very well be an issue for me. I think that is thicker than the 8500 Planet Ocean.
I agree that in black it would indeed look outstanding, but I think Omega wanted a specific colour to mark the METAS/master co-axial chronograph achievement and perhaps did not want to steal thunder from the current DSOTM black variants. I am pretty sure that a few punters would consider a black version of this new Basel 2016 as an alternative to the DSOTM and possibly cannibalize sales, especially considering that it is being offered at the US$10K price point, below the DOSTM price range.
You are essentially trading ceramic technology in the DSOTM for a very cool moonphase complication + Metas certification and still have US$2K in cash. If they do launch a new DSOTM range in Basel 2016 with Metas certification, the comparison becomes tighter, but I would still do that trade.
Sorry all who like it, but that 1-31 dial makes it look like the fake speedmasters about.
You know the ones no need to post one.....
Hi Guys !
I got an Question for Everyone !
Omega says the Dial of the Moonwatch MC Chronograph is What...SunBurst Deep Blue?
Then Why are all the photographic images on every blogsites incl Hands On Watch insider.com reviews are constantly showing a 50-60% black overlay on the dial ?
Is it an Optical iilusion of light bouncing off the ceramic liquid metal bezel ?
It reminds me of a great Internet debate not so long ago of a photo of an Ugly dress . Was it Blue & Black or White & Gold with many celebrities weighing in , including Anna Kendrick (white camp ) vs Taylor Swift
( black camp ) I was in Taylor's camp by the way...
So Guys...Is the Dial really Deep Blue or a combo of Black & Blue? Or Omega has done a Brilliant job of fooling EveryOne of Us !
