 OMEGA Reaches the Skies With the New Speedmaster Pilot

Soaring between Earth and space, OMEGA watches have enjoyed a long history in the skies. Many pilots have relied on the brand’s functionality and precision to keep their flights on track – and on time. This year, to propel that legacy further, OMEGA proudly launches the new Speedmaster Pilot.

This 40.85 mm design takes its inspiration from the very first Speedmaster born in 1957. Known for its robust, reliable, and easy-to-read design, that original model became a “pilots’ choice” for many who flew in the U.S Air Force at the time.

The symmetrical body of the new watch is crafted in stainless steel and features a matte finish to ensure it avoids light reflections. The bezel is mounted with a matte aluminium ring and retains its connection to Speedmaster heritage through a “Dot Over Ninety” and “Diagonal to Seventy” mark on the tachymeter scale.

  For wearers, the true individuality of this watch appears on the grained matte-black dial. Here, the hour/minute hands and hour markers are all presented with large blocks of white Super-LumiNova (green emission), providing full visibility during dark night flights. The matte-black central chronograph hand also stands out thanks to its varnished orange airplane tip.

Perhaps most eye-catching of all are the twin subdials – both opaline at the centre and bevelled on the outside. At 3H, OMEGA has included a 60-minute and 12-hour recorder with a triangular matte-orange hand and transferred white numerals. The subdial is designed to look like the “burn rate” indicator in aircraft cockpits.

Similarly, at 9H, the watch reveals a Small Seconds display, with a target/sight aesthetic inspired by cockpits, featuring a varnished matte-yellow hand and artificial horizon in blue.

Outstanding OMEGA precision is assured in the Speedmaster Pilot thanks to the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900, which is certified by METAS at the highest standard of accuracy, performance, and magnetic-resistance. The movement sits just behind a metallic caseback, which is stamped with the Speedmaster’s traditional Seahorse medallion, and engraved with the water-resistance of “100m / 330ft”.

The watch can be worn on a stainless steel bracelet featuring OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system, or alternatively on the additional grey NATO strap that is included, along with a special travel pouch. This strap is innovatively reinforced with KEVLAR® threads and a brushed stainless steel buckle.

    OMEGA’s Early Flight History

OMEGA watches have historically earned a very respected reputation amongst pilots. Beginning in World War II, the brand delivered more than 110,000 watches to Great Britain’s MoD to support its Air Force and Navy pilots during service.

Perhaps the most famous and widely-used of these was the UK/CK2292. Supplied to the majority of RAF and Fleet Air Arm personnel, this watch was notable for its greater magnetic-resistance, which was ideal for pilots who sat behind the powerful engines of their Hurricanes and Spitfires.

When the OMEGA Speedmaster was born in 1957, it was quickly adopted by some pilots in the U.S Air Force, many of whom would later become Mercury astronauts in NASA’s first manned space programme

In 1969, the OMEGA Flightmaster was released to specifically meet the needs of aircraft pilots, allowing them to check the time in an instant, while also giving travellers a complete instrument for their journeys. The radical design was big and bold, and a stark contrast to the standard chronographs of the time.

1969 was also the year of the first Concorde flight. Not only were OMEGA time-measuring instruments made standard components for several Concorde aircraft, but many of the Concorde crew also chose to wear OMEGA watches to keep accurate time close at hand. One of those was Captain John Hackett, the first person to pilot Concorde over the Atlantic Ocean.

OMEGA – Seamaster Diver 300M in Titanium and Bronze Gold

OMEGA – Seamaster Diver 300M Titanium and Bronze Gold  - 2024

 OMEGA Launches New Range of Seamaster Diver 300M Watches

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

 Continuing the launch of OMEGA’s latest Seamaster Diver 300M collection, a new edition is now unveiled in Grade 2 Titanium and Bronze Gold. This special model follows the stainless steel versions recently released by OMEGA and gives fans another distinctive choice within the metallic range.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

In keeping with the latest Diver 300M update, the new watch moves away from the familiar ceramic style of recent years – and instead – takes inspiration from the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, which was worn in the James Bond film, No Time To Die.

 

 

Most notably, the timepiece includes the same domed sapphire crystal, giving it a vintage aesthetic, while the green aluminium dial is presented alongside the same mesh bracelet style of the Bond watch.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This brushed mesh bracelet, and the 42 mm brushed case, are both crafted in Grade 2 Titanium, which is renowned for being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, biochemically inert, and able to withstand extreme temperatures. For this reason, it’s a material often used in the aircraft and spacecraft sectors. Perfect for adventurous and sporty pursuits, it offers a dim grey colour that most naturally suits a brushed finish.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

In captivating contrast, OMEGA’s exclusive Bronze Gold is used for the bezel, crown, helium escape valve, and the PVD bronze gold coating on the hands. This unique alloy was designed to retain its natural patina over time, without turning green due to layer oxidation. As well as offering that long-lasting soft pink hue, it is nickel-free, making it anti-allergenic, and iron-free, improving magnetic resistance.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Sandblasted green aluminium is used to create the dial, which features PVD 18K Bronze Gold hands and blackened indexes, all filled with vintage Super-LumiNova. The other markings, including the OMEGA logo, are transferred in light brown and red.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The combination of these two materials is complemented by the use of green aluminium. This includes the dial, with blackened indexes filled with vintage Super-LumiNova, and the oxalic anodized aluminium bezel ring, with its diving scale also in vintage Super-LumiNova.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Inside the watch, and visible through the caseback’s sapphire crystal, the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 guarantees the Swiss industry’s high standard of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance, as certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The watch is presented on an integrated green rubber strap with foldover clasp, and is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which can be seen through the sapphire-crystal caseback.

Customers can choose this model on its mesh bracelet, or alternatively, on an integrated green rubber strap with foldover clasp.

OMEGA X SWATCH – Speedmaster Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE

 

OMEGA X SWATCH – Collaboration Speedmaster Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE  2024

THE BIOCERAMIC MOONSWATCH MISSION TO THE
SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE CELEBRATES THE FIRST
SUPER BLUE MOON OF THE YEAR AND THE FESTIVE
ATMOSPHERE OF SUMMER.

 The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE is a double homage to summer. This new watch from the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection not only celebrates the festive and joyful atmosphere of sunny days back at the beach, but also highlights the full blue moon on August 19, the first super moon of the year.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Just like certain artists, Swatch will be having its own blue period during the month of August. After a day spent basking in the sun’s tender rays at the beach, sand still trapped between your toes, we’ll be there in the late afternoon to greet you at  selected Swatch sales locations to introduce you to this exceptional moon phase watch. The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE will be on sale only from August 1 to August 19 – the date of the full moon – and during the blue hours, from 5pm onward, exactly the time when we feel like winding down the day by sipping a drink.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE, not only features a chronograph function, but also has a multi-shade blue moon phase with UV ink, that is set against a dark celestial background and positioned at the 2 o’clock subdial. A blue pulsometer scale with white markers is found on the bioceramic bezel. All the other watches in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection sport a tachymeter function.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The pulsometer is a specific display found mainly on sports chronographs or counters. The pulsometer scale gives the wearer’s heart rate without them having to calculate it. Originally designed for doctors or nurses, this function lets the wearer determine their heart rate by stopping the chronograph hand after 15 or 30 beats and the dial will show their heart rate per minute.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE also features a panda dial. That means the silver-opaline dial has contrasting blue subdials. The watch has various shades of blue, ranging from light to dark.

Like all the models in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, the Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE is made from Swatch’s patented Bioceramic, a unique mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced materials produced from castor oil.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This new watch has its mission statement on the back of the case and OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown. A moon showcasing an array of blue shades can be seen on the battery cover. A spacesuit-ready blue VELCRO® strap adds that final touch of astronaut chic.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Fans will find in this new model various characteristic features of OMEGA’s legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, the first watch to go to the moon, such as the asymmetrical case and the distinctive Speedmaster subdials.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE is available from August 1 through August 19 (the date of the full moon) and only at selected Swatch stores and pop-up stores. Find your nearest point of sale using our store locator on swatch.com. As with the whole Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, only one watch can be purchased per person, per day and per selected sales location.

OMEGA – Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M "Ultra Light" Titanium Chronometer

OMEGA – Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial 150M Master Chronometer "Ultra Light" Titanium 41mm - 2024

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This unique Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” is a tribute to Swedish pole vault legend Armand “Mondo” Duplantis. The Olympic Games champion wore the timepiece when he claimed gold and set a new World Record at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, clearing the bar at 6.25m. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

For Mondo, it was the ideal competition timepiece. Light, strong, and in the colours of his home country.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Crafted from sand-blasted Gamma Titanium, the 41 mm case is accompanied by a sand-blasted silicon nitride bezel ring.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

For the blue anodized dial, OMEGA has used sand-blasted Grade 5 titanium, and included an engraved horizontal stripe pattern. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Alongside the blackened indexes and hour-minute hands with Super-LumiNova, there is also a yellow varnished 3D laser-shaped cylindrical central seconds hand inspired by a Pole Vault.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The watch is presented on a blue and yellow integrated strap made from rubber and nylon fabric. Behind the sapphire crystal caseback, you’ll find the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8928 Ti – guaranteeing the industry’s highest standard of precision, performance, and magnetic-resistance. The entire watch is delivered inside a special presentation box.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

All the bridges and plates are in ceramicized titanium which, according to Omega, means “there’s less friction between the components.” Given the uncompromising use of low-friction, synthetic jewels for every important, high-friction fitting inside modern wristwatch movements, I am not sure at what point do the ceramicized titanium plates make a difference in reducing friction. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

On the upside of things, the Omega Caliber 8928 Titanium is a Master Chronometer, meaning it can resist magnetic fields as strong as 15,000 Gauss — and, of course, it comes with a co-axial escapement. Omega designed Caliber 8928 without an automatic winding system, most certainly to further reduce overall weight and heft.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The series-coupled, double-barrel movement offers 72 hours of power reserve and is displayed on the caseback of the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light. 

Designed to resist glare from the sun, OMEGA's matte Aqua Terra finish makes bold use of yellow on the seconds hand, Seamaster logo, quarter-hour numerals and strap stitching. A range of colour options are also available.

Upon launch, the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” Titanium Chronometer will be presented in its own box signed by champion “Armand Duplantis” and will take its place among OMEGA’s illustrious history of Olympic-themed collectible watches.
