To celebrate the sailing partnership between Omega and the Swiss professional sailing team Alinghi, the legendary Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon has been given a new and innovative design, tailored for regatta timing.
The 44.25 mm model is crafted in black ceramic, with an Alinghi logo in red varnish on the stop/start pusher. The tachymeter scale is in Super-LumiNova, while the perforated black rubber strap includes a red rubber interior.
Through the skeletonized dial, the handwound Calibre 1865 has been laser-ablated with a honeycomb effect on the mainplate and barrel bridge, as well as a black carbon pattern on all other bridges. These effects are inspired by the hull of the Alinghi TF35 catamaran.
A 4-minute and 5-minute countdown function features in red on the 3 o’clock subdial, while the traditional hand of the 6 o’clock subdial has been replaced by a sandblasted and anodized aluminium disc, which rotates with the Alinghi logo transferred in red.
