Watch Review: Omega's Moon Blue Speedmaster, I think it is definitely a very representative of Omega's ceramic watch, because the outstanding expressiveness of blue ceramic and the combination of design details of the whole watch complement each other. The 44.25 mm blue ceramic case is equipped with a blue ceramic bezel, which harmonizes the colors of the watch, enhances the overall sense and sets off the dial to make it more eye-catching. The inspiration for the blue moon is actually derived from the deep blue night sky, so OMEGA used blue aventurine, a glass material made from traditional Italian art techniques, as the dial, with a starry visual effect, set off the realistic Sedna™ 18K gold moon phase display at 6 o'clock on the plate. Other details include 18K Sedna™ gold for the indexes and hands, and Omega is also available in white gold. The 3 o'clock sub-dial integrates the chronograph function, while at 9 o'clock the date counter and small seconds. Inside, the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9904 is equipped with a silicon balance spring that resists magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss, and two barrels connected in series to provide a 60-hour power reserve. A blue leather strap is included.

Watch Comments: Hublot Big Bang UNICO this sky blue ceramic, is also Hublot's most representative ceramic watch, on the visual performance of sky blue ceramic, it is a blue ceramic between Tiffany blue and regular blue, plus white elements embellishment to form a refreshing effect, may be unique in the field of watches. With a 42 mm case and a thickness of 13.45 mm, the dimensions of a chronograph are within the usual range. The ceramic case is finely finished throughout, such as the polished edges of the corners, which are contrasted by the reflective surface with the brushed finish on the front of the watch. Sky blue elements are not only used on the case, but also on the dial of Hublot's skeleton movement, this refreshing color is also used everywhere, such as the minute scale, the branding, the sky blue 60-minute chronograph sub-dial at 3 o'clock, the date window on the right side, the small seconds dial at 9 o'clock, and the skeleton dial allows the wearer to clearly see the cylindrical wheel and clutch gear running when the chronograph function is activated, showing mechanical charm. The watch is powered by a second-generation UNICO in-house chronograph movement with flyback function, which is also thinner than the first-generation movement, and has a power reserve of 72 hours.

Watch Comments: If you want to choose the most representative color ceramics of IWC, I think many watch friends will choose sand color ceramics, this special ceramic color, inspired by the Mojave Desert, let the pilot's watch use, they are very compatible in style. IWC pilot's watch, which was originally designed for pilots, will also be specially modified like ceramic materials, and the matte finish is to not reflect, and after combining this color similar to military camouflage painting, IWC has also formed its own unique tactical style. Previously, there were not many choices of sand-colored ceramic pilot's watches, the original 44.5 mm was discontinued when it was sold out, and there was still a perpetual calendar flagship left, so at the end of last year, IWC launched a 41 mm flying gauge version of sand-colored ceramic, both in terms of price and size, providing choice space for many watch friends. At the same time, in order to adapt to the sand-colored ceramics and match the color tone, IWC chose a dark brown dial with a vertical three-eye sub-plate, with a harmonious and regular layout and excellent legibility. Powered by an IWC-manufactured 69380 automatic movement, the movement is protected from magnetic effects by a soft-iron inner case, while the bidirectional pawl winding system offers a power reserve of 46 hours when fully wound and is water-resistant to 60 metres. A beige rubber strap with a woven exterior also gives the watch a military tough-guy look.
Summary: The three colored ceramic watches, in fact, are also used as a good advanced choice in the chronograph, not "empty appearance", in addition to the hard power performance in the field of materials, the performance of the watch is also excellent. However, like the size of Omega is relatively large, it is still a bit picky about the size of the wrist, and the diameter size of IWC and Hublot, one is 41.9 mm, and one is 42 mm. In terms of selling price, it spans from more than 90,000 yuan to 170,000 yuan, and is divided into three price ranges. If you like it, you can go to your local store and try it on.
