What's noteworthy about the "Dark Side of the Moon" is how the Speedmaster's distinctive case shape has been beautifully recreated in black ceramic. Despite the ceramic case being hard and difficult to work with, alternating polished and matte finishes give the black case a deep shadow effect, which is clearly visible when viewed from an angle.

In 2013, Omega announced a new model with a "full ceramic case."
This is Omega's first mass-produced model with a ceramic exterior, using ceramic not only for the case but also for the bezel and dial.
Behind the birth of this model was the ``passion'' of one person, who was a major driving force behind its development.
That man is Jean-Claude Monachon, Omega's vice president of product development. Why did he decide to develop an entirely ceramic watch?
