Omega’s New Speedmaster Belongs on the Water

The new Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Alinghi celebrates an America’ Cup winner.

Omega is continuing its association with America’s Cup, the oldest international sport trophy, via a brand-new Speedmaster produced in partnership with Alinghi, a sailing team founded in 1994 by Italian-born Swiss entrepreneur Ernesto Bertarelli.

An entry in the Dark Side of the Moon collection first introduced in 2013, the new watch is housed in a 44.25mm black zirconium oxide ceramic case with matching ceramic bezel and Super-LumiNova-coated tachymeter scale. Use of the handwound Calibre 1865 keeps this Speedy’s case relatively thin at 13.8mm — other entries in the DSOTM series have featured cases 16.14mm thick — and makes for a more comfortable wearing experience.
