Omega released the NEW Speedmaster Moon Watch White

Omega has once again elevated the iconic Speedmaster Moonwatch to another level with its latest iteration: the Speedmaster Moonwatch White. This model, unveiled with a lacquered white dial, draws inspiration from the vast expanse of space and the illustrious history of the collection itself. Since its first appearance on Omega brand ambassador Daniel Craig’s wrist in November 2023, anticipation has been building, culminating in its grand reveal and upcoming availability to the public.

The Moonwatch’s new edition is distinguished by its rare white dial, a nod to the original Speedmaster’s 1957 design ethos aimed at maximizing readability. This reverse colorway—white with black detailing, new applied indexes, and a striking red Speedmaster inscription—provides a fresh perspective while maintaining the watch’s legendary legibility. The glossy lacquered finish, a first for the Moonwatch’s step dial, adds a luxurious sheen that accentuates its sophisticated design.

The choice of white draws deep inspiration from the monochrome hues of astronaut spacesuits, particularly those worn during extravehicular activities, and pays homage to the Speedmaster Moonwatch’s storied relationship with NASA and its status as the first watch worn on the Moon. The red Speedmaster name not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also serves as a tribute to the commander’s rank insignia and the protective red case of the Alaska 1 prototype, created by Omega in 1969 for a NASA project.

This edition is not just a visual marvel but also a testament to Omega’s innovative spirit, choosing a white dial for its superior thermal reflection properties, a crucial factor in the harsh conditions of space. The 42mm stainless steel case is paired with a vintage-inspired stainless steel bracelet, adding to the watch’s classic appeal. For those seeking a different touch, options include a black micro-perforated leather strap with red and white stitching or an anti-bacterial rubber strap with a Moon surface pattern for added comfort and aesthetic.

The Moonwatch fans will appreciate the black anodized aluminum bezel featuring the iconic “Dot over Ninety” on the tachymeter scale. Powering this timepiece is the Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 3861, an evolution of the legendary Calibre 321, revered for its reliability by astronauts during lunar missions.

Whether you’re a collector, a space enthusiast, or someone who appreciates the fine craftsmanship of luxury watches, the Speedmaster Moonwatch White is a refreshing new addition to an already celebrated icon!
