    Well, someone had to do it, so why not me? Yes, I actually wanted to get my hands on the new Omega Speedmaster White Side of the Moon. First shown at Baselworld this past March, and previewed here, the watch was “polar”-izing from the get go (nasty pun there!). For the most part, purists were outraged and those interested in the brand, and the Speedmaster line, casually remarked that this release was akin to “jumping the shark”. For those of you not familiar with that cliché, you can look up the derivation, but it basically means that something has made […]

    Is the 11 and 12 hour marker really different or just the lighting?

    Sorry, I don´t like it and I agree with some of the posts above: for me it is more of a ladies watch.

    Probably have to see this thing in person to truly judge it
    The ceramics really impress in person as pictures don't capture the sheen well

    Maybe the white side will never reach the boutiques. It didn't even reach the omega site yet. Strange isn't it?

    This one really is unbelievable. I appreciate that Omega feels able to exploit the Speedmaster product and all its fans by repeatedly finding 'excuses' to bring out a special/limited edition variant version, but I do feel that, eventually, this activity will undermine the company's reputation and desirability of its products. And this particular one is just 'orrible - deliberate bad taste perhaps to appeal to a particular audience sector - likely to be seen maybe on the wrist of someone wearing a baseball cap back to front and driving a large, white GT car running on ridiculously low profile tyres?
