This model was announced at Baselworld in 2018 and is the successor to the discontinued ref.311.30.44.32.01.001 .

It's easy to see the sparkle of the aventurine dial in the video, but it's beautiful enough to see in the photo.





The case material is blue ceramic.
Omega's ceramic is machined, so it has a sharp edge and is very beautiful. It will be more expensive, though.

Gold hands, indexes and moon phase.
The three-dimensional effect of the moon phase is also wonderful.



When the moon phase closes, a beautiful aventurine dial spreads all over.
Please zoom in to see.





from another angle.
This is just before the full moon.

The sub-dial at 3 o'clock is the chronograph hours and minutes counter, the sub-dial at 9 o'clock is the date and watch seconds hands, and the moon phase at 6 o'clock.





This is the new moon.

The crown is easy to operate, turning it up turns the age of the moon, and turning it down turns the date.





Since it is machined ceramic, the edge stands perfectly.

The thickness of the case is about 18mm.

Box-shaped glass that is easy to understand when viewed from the side.
You can see it in Omega and Grand Seiko.





The movement is Cal.9904.

Since it is a chronograph that has acquired a master chronometer, it is highly reliable.

As I wrote a while ago, what is the guideline for watch overhauls after 3-5 years?

Well, assuming that I can understand 5 years, if it gets worse in 3 years and I send it in for repairs, I would like to complain about one thing.

That's why I think it's great that Omega has extended the warranty period to 5 years.





The buckle is made of titanium and ceramic.

I forgot to take a picture of the front side.





The strap is also devised.
Thanks to rubber reinforcement, the holes are less likely to be damaged.

In addition, the strap is slightly thicker to match the thickness of the case, so it is slightly tensioned.



There are quite a few watches that use aventurine, and even if there are, it seems difficult to mass-produce them like Lange's Saxonia.

It's really beautiful, so please take a look at it once.



As an aside, when I hear about watches with an aventurine dial, I think of a watch brand called Blue.
I think the name was Atoll...
I want to see it again.
