space exploration and the collection’s own famous heritage.

This captivating model has been hotly
anticipated by Moonwatch fans since November 2023, when the very first
edition was spotted on the wrist of OMEGA brand ambassador, Daniel
Craig, at the Planet OMEGA Exhibition in New York. Now, the design is
finally and officially revealed, and will be available for public sale.

The watch’s most distinctive feature is
its rare white dial. When the original
Speedmaster was first created in
1957, one of the main goals of the designers was to produce an
easy-to-read display with superb legibility.

indexes on a black dial. On this new version, the opposite colourway has
the same result. Not only has
OMEGA produced this new dial in white
with black detailing and new applied indexes, but the designers have
also added a stand-out
Speedmaster name in red, and given the entire
surface a glossy lacquered finish – the first time this technique has
ever been used on the
Moonwatch’s step dial.

Why white? The primary inspiration for
this new look is the white and black colours of astronaut spacesuits –
especially those used during extravehicular activity (EVA), such as
spacewalks.

An authentic connection after all, as the
Speedmaster
Moonwatch has been officially worn by
NASA astronauts since
1965 and is
known as the first watch worn on the Moon. In addition, red lines have
also featured on the suits since
Apollo 13 in
1970 to signify the
commander’s rank.

There’s also another
special reason to
go white. In
1969,
OMEGA created the
ALASKA I prototype as part of their
secret
NASA project to design the perfect space watch. After months of
experiments,
OMEGA chose a white dial because it provides a particularly
effective thermal reflection coefficient. The red
Speedmaster name on
the new model is also a nod to the protective red case that surrounded
the original
ALASKA I watch.

Beyond the white dial,
OMEGA has even
more to reveal in the watch’s craft. The
42 mm stainless steel timepiece
is presented on a comfortable and vintage-inspired stainless steel
bracelet with five arched links per row.

A classic look with polished
and brushed detailing. Two more versions are also available, including
one on a black micro-perforated leather strap with red and white
stitching, and another on an anti-bacterial rubber strap with a moon
surface pattern in positive relief on the underside for increased
comfort and aesthetics.

For
Moonwatch fans, the black anodized
aluminium bezel of each timepiece has been given a famous
“Dot over
Ninety” on the tachymeter scale, while inside, the watch is driven by
the
Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 – the most up-to-date
version of the legendary
Calibre 321 that was trusted by astronauts on
the moon.
