The Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Co Axial Master Chronometer Moonphase Chronograph 44 25mm is widely praised for its detailed and photorealistic moonphase complication, featuring a boot print Easter egg, and its exceptional finishing, including a ceramic bezel and sun-brushed dial. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight the beauty of the complication and the overall build quality. However, the watch's 44.25mm case size and considerable thickness (around 16.85mm to 17mm) are frequently noted as making it wear large and potentially challenging to fit under dress cuffs, with some suggesting it feels "chunky" or like a "beast." One reviewer found the crown guards sharp when winding and the crown difficult to pull out.
