Tonight is a full Moon, so let’s see those Moon Phase watches.......
Without doubt one of my favourite complications on a watch, I know there are many out there that wouldn’t agree but for me every collection needs at least one. The moon has always played a major role in man’s movements and daily existence, from the ebb and flow of tides to religious ceremonies, crop harvests, maritime navigation etc which is why it has always been historically important to keep track of its orbit....
My current favourite is this Omega Speedmaster METAS 9904 movement variant that deploys a photorealistic image of the Moon on a metal disc that is so incredibly detailed it shows the Moons craters and valleys as well as the footprint of Buzz Aldrin, (obviously not to scale of course). When you combine that with a METAS movement, Liquid Metal Bezel, 100m water resistance and a watch that is anti magnetic to 15,000 gauss it actually surprises me that this model isn’t popular, personally I think a Moon phase is the perfect accompaniment to ‘the Moon Watch’.
Which ever make/model I think the Moonphase is a nice addition to the dial so would be good to see some more....
Great picture from the Watchtime review;
