Omega has been in a groove these last few years – enough so where they can get away with some “different” kinds of moves. Obviously, there will be buyers who favor it over the others, but it just came off as slightly redundant. The tachymeter scale and the lume on the hands and dial have a green-ish tint to it, but other than that, it’s almost the same. To me, it looks too similar to the original DSotM. If I’m being honest – which is pretty much the only way I roll – I’m not sure of the Pitch Black’s place in the lineup. I know lots of folks are anti-faux-tina, but I like the warmness it brings to the overall look, versus the colder, standard white lume.
I’ve been trying to get over the whole vintage-style modern watch trend, but both the Vintage Black and the Speedmaster ’57 Vintage reeled me back in – I’m sorry, but I like them. With its gold hands, markers and bezel ring complementing the overall black aesthetic, the Sedna Black was a well conceived addition to the lineup. I can recall quite clearly having my hands on the Sedna Black and Vintage Black, and liking them. Omega went with four new models to complement the original DSotM: Sedna Black, Pitch Black, Vintage Black, and the one we got our hands on, the Black Black. That’s why I wanted to take a closer look at the updated Dark Side of the Moon Speedmaster series. While I stand by that initial judgment, I’m always open to changing my mind upon further review. As you may recall, I mentioned their strategy seemed as if they took a bunch of darts and threw them at the wall, and subsequently picking up the ones that didn’t stick and using them anyway. Baselworld 2015 was quite an unveiling for Omega.
