why not...? Blue and Omega Speedmaster Blue Moon
So far this year, whether it is coincidence or deliberate nod to these two major space explorations, our resident collectors will carefully observe the moon's Omega Speedmaster Blue Side.
It seems that all the things about this primary color have been said: sea, sky, boy, suit jacket, pilot uniform or Yves Klein's monochrome. For some people, this is a royal color. For others, this is the color of the flag. One thing is for sure: blue is everywhere.
Blue dominates our daily lives, so that we often forget its meaning. So let's first try to understand it better. First of all, it represents peace, calm and infinity. Even though it is considered to be cool, it is accompanied by a warm feeling when connected to the sky (clear weather) and the ocean (lagoon, holiday...). Blue is also an elegant and classic color that reflects light. It is one of the foundations of men's fashion, with a lot of Savile Row suits and Japanese jeans.
This is another feature of it. Not only a blue, but a variety of blue. In fact, there are nearly a hundred! There are kings, Smurfs, Chelsea (Royal Blue), Manchester United (Sky Blue), Topaz, Sapphire and Bugatti!
Culturally, blue covers a wide range of colors.
In Iran, this is the color of mourning. In China, it is an immortal color. Although many countries proudly display it on the flag, it is a symbol of the failure of the Cherokee Indians. The color can also be a sensation ("blues" or "blue devil") or a music type (blues, from the French term "bluette", or blue notes, giving the blues a specific sound). buy Hublot Archive Hublot Classic Men 1926.405.1 watch replica
Therefore, blue is omnipotent, it is a federation, but it is also much more complicated than it seems.
But what about the watch?
Over the years, the main colours of the dial are black, white, champagne and occasional shades of grey. In addition to some components (blue pointers), the post-war watch industry has been ignoring blue for many years.
Some brands tried to break this practice in the late 1960s. Omega Seamaster Ploprof (1970), Bulova Oceanographer, Heuer Carrera (Ref. 1553N), Skipper and Monaco (Ref 1133B), Tudor Submariner Ref. Dark blue dial. Different shades of blue (Seiko Kakume 6138) on the 7021 and 9411 and the 1970s Seiko chronograph.
Slowly but surely, blue began to enter our watch, mainly on the dial.
However, it is still a minority, although it has everything that works. For some people it is too "sporty", and for others it can only be used with the gold case of a dress watch. The positioning of the blue is too vague and the avant-garde is reserved.
We have to wait for years to reverse this trend.
It's hard to tell exactly when blue is the fashion color of a watch, but I tend to set the date around 2014/2015. From this point on, we began to see the colors everywhere. There are conservative blues (Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Blancpain...), light blue (Rolex) and trendy blues (Doxa Project Aware).wholesale replica watch perfect
But again, the color is limited to the dial.
We have to wait for the arrival of ceramics so that the colors can contain our overall watch.
Hublot and Omega are the first brands to participate in color competitions. Omega first introduced black, steel gray and later white Speedmaster "Moon Dark Side". Famous - controversial - "white side of the moon" deserves close attention. For many people, this is a ladies' watch, but I believe that as long as he is willing to go against the convention, it will be as easy as a man's wrist.
Hublot picked up the baton and introduced other case colors for ceramic and sapphire models. Recently, Red has begun to dominate the innovative colors of the Big Bang collection. But before that, Blue has always been favored at the Nyon factory.
In 2017, Omega launched the first completely blue watch: the blue side of the Moon's Speedmaster, which further broke the boundaries.
Like its "white" sister, the blue Speedy is a watch that is attractive or repulsive but indifferent. That's why we need to talk about it!
Why choose Omega?
There is no need to carefully consider the Bienne brand. Speedmaster is not. So why is this new Speedmaster different from Omega?
First of all, the brand is known for its classic, sturdy and timeless qualities. Therefore, the "colored" Speedmasters try to keep themselves a little closer to this rather conservative image. In 2014, Omega stunned the small world of watchmaking with the first all-black ceramic watch, the Moon Side of the Moon.
It has been well received and has achieved great commercial success - proving that Super fans are looking for different things.cheapsalewatch.com
Therefore, Omega hardly needs to convince to expand this "dark side" family. The black case now offers a variety of different dials, all black or vintage.
But it is the "White of the Moon" that promoted the further development of things in 2015. According to some people, this is too far. Public opinion does not seem to be ready for the all-white model. However, as already mentioned, I think this "Snowmaster" is successful, except for some teething problems, such as its "too feminine" positioning and the cheap appearance of its strap.
Omega may have stopped there.
but not…
In 2016, Omega added a phase to the Speedmaster Coaxial and a new Master Chronometer chronograph movement. It attempts to elevate Speedmaster to its "sports" image and provide it with a complex feature worthy of its lunar heritage.
Once again, it is very popular.
More creativity to stimulate brand thinking: "The blue edge of the moon", an all-blue version of the Speedmaster coaxial moon phase, launched at the Basel International Watch and Jewellery Show in 2017.
Speedmaster Blue Side of the Moon: When the blues smile on your face
The blue side of the moon is a good watchmaking technique.
Omega hopes to use this moon phase model to demonstrate its technical, technical and aesthetic capabilities.
Technically, Speedmaster is powered by one of the most advanced automatic chronograph movements on the market (using the coaxial escapement system invented by George Daniels to reduce lubrication requirements and increase impact resistance). It meets the most demanding precision requirements (METAS), is completely immune to up to 15,000 Gaussian magnetic fields, and combines a chronograph on the dial, moon phase and date.
This movement can be seen through the slightly sapphire crystal case back, adding more charm to the overall contour of the watch.
In terms of technology, Omega demonstrates its expertise in the use of new materials. We already know that Omega has the ability to produce colored ceramics, but producing blue ceramics is much more difficult than producing white or black. However, Omega manages it. All visual elements on the watch are made of blue ceramic: case, bezel, moon phase dial, chronograph putter, crown, dial and even folding clasp. Speedometer Blue Side of Moon's speedometer scale uses LiquidmetalTM, another innovative material developed by Omega.
For aesthetics, in addition to using blue, Omega has added some red (Speedmaster instructions, central chronograph hands and date indicators). White can be found on hour markers and scales (date, chronograph, speedometer). The 44.25mm Speedmaster case may look a bit big, but it's very durable!

Before handing it to the devil's advocates, it's worth pointing out that Omega launched - cautious - launched a new version of the "blue side" with a gorgeous gold dial, Sedna gold tones and a slightly dark blue ceramic.
What are the proponents of the devil thinking?
When it first appeared, the moon's Omega Blue Side caused a lot of discussion about the watch forum.
It doesn't make people indifferent, it's part of its appeal. This is also its main drawback. It's hard to see that the blue side of the moon is a unique watch. It's part of a series, I don't see anyone wearing it every day. Must be appreciated and used interchangeably with other more classic or "everyday" watches.
Ceramic watches also require special care. It may be barely noticeable but it is also very fragile. Despite its hardness, it is still very sensitive to impact. So don't fall, watch the door frames and window frames!
Then there is the strap. Its quality is high, but its blue color does not match the blue color of the case. Although the blue color of the case never changes, the blue color of the strap develops over time. We all know how hard it is to match blue in different shades.
Omega should choose a solid material (synthetic rubber) strap that perfectly matches the color of the case, or completely break the monochrome appearance, choose dark brown, gray or even red strap!
So finding the perfect strap for your Omega Speedmaster Blue Side of Moon will be a challenge, but it's worth a try.
So how do you put on your lunar blue side?
Let's start with the strap: I only see one option. Buy custom straps made by professionals to provide enough options to meet the needs of such demanding watches. I can only think of two companies that can meet the challenge: ABP (Atelier du Bracelet Parisien) and Combat Straps (Aaron Pimentel).
My idea for Speedy is from a light denim strap to dark brown calfskin and military green canvas or titanium leather. This choice is critical and may take some time.
Once you put on your Omega, you should dress yourself up!
Shirts need classic light blue or white. Why not try a polo shirt that reflects the color of the bracelet instead of the color of the watch? A blazer with a patch pocket is also ideal. Avoid cuts that are too formal or too "British". Blue Speedy has a southern Italian edge, Dolce Vita! Therefore, please consider the style of Eleventy or Brunello Cucinelli. If you want to add some stupid things, check out Bob - I like the very beat style of some of their creations.
To complete the look, choose classic pants but have a drawstring. You can find the best Suit Supply, whether it is linen or summer wool.
Finally, a pair of Playtime sneakers (Berluti) or Tod's moccasins will be perfectly matched with Italian style.
When you're ready, you can enjoy one of the best Chianti, the best pizzas and tiramisu in town.Review Richard Mille RM 68-01 TOURBILLON CYRIL KONGO replica Watch
