Do you know? Omega’s “Dark Side of the Moon 9908” watch is not just a chronograph, it also has amazing movement design and anti-magnetic technology behind it. I heard that the movement frequency of this watch is much higher than that of the old model, and its anti-magnetic ability is also very strong. It is definitely a black technology that watch fans cannot miss! Want to know more about the unique charm of this watch? Read on!

Dark Side of the Moon 9908

In this year’s watch forum, Omega launched the “Dark Side of the Moon 9908”, a manual winding chronograph. Many watch fans know that the “Dark Side of the Moon” series has always been the high-end branch of the Omega Speedmaster series. Although the public price of this new watch has reached 115,500 yuan, everyone thinks that this price is still worth it.

Because “Dark Side of the Moon 9908” is equipped with Omega’s new generation 9900 series movement, the performance of this movement is very powerful, which once eclipsed the 9300 series movement. We know that the swing frequency of the 9300 series movement is 21,600 times/hour, while the swing frequency of the 9900 series movement has reached 28,800 times/hour. It can be said that in this regard, the 9900 series movement directly crushes the 9300 series movement.

Moreover, the 9900 series movement also has very advanced anti-magnetic technology, which can theoretically withstand a magnetic field of 15,000 Gauss. And we all know that even some famous watches have antimagnetic capabilities of only a few thousand gauss. I don’t know how much this design will increase the sales of Omega Speedmaster.

Moreover, the biggest highlight of the 9900 series movement is its aesthetic design. In the past, the movement was placed on the bottom cover of the watch. In this way, watch fans who wanted to appreciate the aesthetics of the movement had to disassemble the watch, which is obviously not a wise choice.

The 9900 series movement breaks this convention. The designer placed the movement directly under the dial. In this way, the sound and vibrations produced by the movement will be transmitted to the dial. The wearer can not only perceive it through touch, but also appreciate the aesthetics of the movement through vision. This design is really great.

And because the thickness of the movement is only 13.03 mm, which is a full 3 mm less than the 9300 series movement, the thickness of the entire watch has also been significantly improved. The thickest part is only 13.02 mm, and there is almost no sense of weight when worn. This is very important for friends who like to wear watches when going out.

Although the thickness of the new watch has been significantly improved, the overall size is still not small. The 44.25mm watch diameter may not be very friendly to many friends with smaller wrist circles, but there is no way around it. If enthusiasts want to appreciate the aesthetics of the movement, they must sacrifice some wearing comfort.

Moreover, the case material of “Dark Side of the Moon 9908” is very special. It is made of all-ceramic material, which can be said to be unique among similar watches. It not only improves the hardness of the watch, but also reduces the weight of the watch. It also greatly enhances the scratch-resistant ability of the watch.

Moreover, the color stability of ceramic materials is very good. Even if it is worn for a long time, there is no need to worry about fading or discoloration. This is very important for watch fans who pursue perfection.

Moreover, “Dark Side of the Moon 9908” also does an excellent job in details. For example, the back of its strap is printed with a pattern of lunar craters. This design is inspired by the surface of the lunar module in the Apollo program. We all know that the surface of the moon is bumpy and not flat, and this unevenness symbolizes the intricate gears in the movement, which is very appropriate.

In addition, the strap is made of black rubber, which is not only comfortable and wear-resistant, but also has good waterproof performance, which is very important for friends who like outdoor activities and sports. It is worth mentioning that the folding buckle is made of titanium. The purpose of this is to ensure that the watch can be opened and closed smoothly when worn, and to avoid the problem of rust.

In the final analysis, the “Dark Side of the Moon 9908” watch does an excellent job in all aspects. Although the price is high, it is worth the money from all aspects. For those who really like watches, this watch is definitely an ideal watch.

Conclusion

In short, “Dark Side of the Moon 9908” not only has a qualitative leap in performance, but also has a unique appearance design, which is really worth collecting. Although it is expensive, for those who really love watches, it is definitely worth the money. What do you think of this watch? Come to the comment area to share your views, or give me a like!
