Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon Ref 311.93.44.51.99.002, Full Set 87168184

The Omega Company was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in Le Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.  Brandt’s sons later expanded the company and began manufacturing their own parts, including their first mass-produced caliber movement, the Labrador, in 1884.  They continued their work and, a decade later, made the 19-line OMEGA caliber, which gave the company its name. After the turn of the century, Omega became the official timekeeper for several sporting events, leading to its eventual selection as the sole timekeeper of the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.

The Omega Speedmaster 311.93.44.51.99.002 features a 44.5mm grey ceramic case with brushed and polished surfaces, a sapphire crystal, a fixed grey ceramic bezel with a matte chromium nitride tachymeter scale, and an exhibition case back.  The dial is sand-blasted 950 platinum with Moonwatch-style hands, sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock, and a date window at 6 o’clock.  Powered by the Co-Axial Caliber 9300 chronometer movement, the Speedmaster features a 60-hour power reserve.
