The Dark Side of the Moon. The original ceramic Speedmaster, 99 grams.

Omega’s ceramic Speedmasters take the Moonwatch shape, enlarge it to 44.25mm and make the whole case, bezel, pushers and crown from one colour of zirconium oxide ceramic, so nothing scratches and the watch weighs about 100 grams on a strap. Inside is a co-axial automatic chronograph rather than the hand-wound Moonwatch calibre, with the two counters of the 9300 family: hours and minutes together at three, small seconds at nine.

The Dark Side of the Moon was the first of them, named for the Apollo 8 crew who were the first people to see the far side of the Moon, and this .007 reference is the black-dial version on Omega’s black fabric strap with red stitching rather than the leather of the original. The calibre 9300 is the COSC-certified co-axial chronograph that preceded the Master Chronometer 9900; same column wheel, same 60 hours, same two-counter layout.

This is a regular Amazon listing from a marketplace seller with Amazon’s 30-day return window; it is not a Luxury Stores pre-owned unit and the seller has not published a condition. The second button opens the live search for ceramic Speedmasters in case this one has sold.

Speedmasters have resold for under new and close to what pre-owned buyers paid, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.
