The Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon trades the Moonwatch’s black-and-steel contrast for grey ceramic and a sandblasted platinum dial—a quieter palette with plenty happening in the light. It’s also a different kind of Speedmaster: an automatic chronograph whose two-register layout puts elapsed hours and minutes together, making a long timing session unusually easy to read.

For the original expression, look for 311.93.44.51.99.001: the platinum dial’s fine grain is central to its character, rather than simply another shade of silver. The 9300 movement is visible through the sapphire back, but its architecture also makes this a substantial watch; try it on rather than assuming familiar Speedmaster proportions. Ceramic resists everyday scratches well, yet sharp impacts can chip it, so pay particular attention to the lug tips and bezel edges. That distinction matters more here than the usual discussion of polished steel.

What owners love

  • The ceramic case's shimmering platinum-grey finish stands out as uniquely striking and subtle compared to other Speedmaster variants.
  • The 9300 co-axial chronograph movement is widely praised for its column wheel action, vertical clutch, and 60-hour power reserve.
  • The applied indices and meteorite dial option add a level of visual depth and luxury that sets it apart from the standard Moonwatch lineup.

Common Criticisms

  • The 44.3mm case wears very large and sits tall on the wrist, making it uncomfortable or awkward for many with average or smaller wrists.
  • The all-ceramic construction, while visually impressive, is prone to showing fingerprints and smudges, requiring constant cleaning to maintain its appearance.
  • The integrated strap system limits aftermarket strap options and replacement costs for OEM straps are notably high.
