The Omega Moonphase is one of those unique timepieces that exude both style and functionality. Later models have a manual winding chronograph that indicates the date as well as the actual moon phase.
For some Omega Moonwatch editions, the watch is embedded with gemstones such as diamond and sapphire crystals above the case.

The first Omega Watches Moonphase was created in 1985. The Omega Watches Moonwatch edition, then, is made from stainless steel and has functions that are controlled by push-pieces that are found on the upper left side of the case.
