Everything worth knowing about this piece is laid out below: the movement details, the finishing quality notes, the market context, and where to find it. Start here.
Understanding what separates a well-executed New Omega Super Series Moon Dark Face from a catalogue-listed alternative requires looking at the specific build decisions that distinguish quality production: movement regulation, finishing consistency, and case geometry accuracy. This review addresses all three.
The 44mm case is built in stainless steel, following the original reference geometry across lug width, case band, and crown placement without the dimensional shortcuts that lower-tier production accepts.
The tachymeter bezel functions as the chronograph's primary measurement tool — the scale is engraved or printed to reference specification, and the legibility holds under the lighting conditions a working chronograph encounters. On a properly sourced build the definition is sharp enough to read accurately at arm's length, which is where cheaper alternatives typically fail.
The anti-reflective coating on the crystal creates the dial depth that cheaper builds lose under direct light, where an uncoated crystal reflects back and flattens the visual effect.
The running, case clean, finishing on point. drives the chronograph complication — pusher action, reset behaviour, and column wheel or cam engagement are the three criteria that separate a well-executed chronograph superclone from one that looks correct but feels imprecise. The function has been regulated for daily accuracy, not just factory demonstration.
The 50m water resistance rating handles rain and incidental water contact reliably — suited to the daily wear conditions the watch will actually encounter.
The Black Cordura Fabric Strap with Ceramic  follows the dimensional proportions and surface finishing of the genuine reference — the details that affect both how the watch looks from a distance and how it feels across the wrist in extended daily wear.
The exhibition caseback provides a direct view of the movement architecture — rotor finish, bridge layout, and plate decoration are all visible, and on a well-sourced build these elements confirm the quality of what is inside the case rather than just what is presented on the exterior.
Collectors comparing the titanium and steel variants of this reference will find the weight difference notable on the wrist — titanium wears approximately 30% lighter, which affects the daily wear character considerably.
Who This Reference Suits
This is a collector's choice rather than a casual buyer's entry point — the reference assumes familiarity with the original and delivers on that familiarity with an execution that an informed eye will appreciate. Buyers coming to superclones for the first time would benefit from a simpler reference; buyers who know exactly what this watch should be will not be disappointed by this one.
Market Context
Higher-grade sourced examples of this reference generally circulate in the $750–950 range among informed buyers. Well-sourced examples of this reference circulate at this tier of the collector market — the positioning reflects the movement specification, finishing quality, and overall build standard rather than the brand name alone.
