The Speedmaster Moonwatch is not only the iconic watch of the famous Swiss professional watchmaking brand OMEGA, but it is also renowned as a model of chronograph watches. In 2024, Omega launched a new Speedmaster series moon watch with a white lacquer dial inspired by the legend of human space exploration and the glorious historical heritage of the Speedmaster series.
In November 2023, Omega celebrity ambassador Daniel Craig wore this watch for the first time at the “Omega Planet Show” in New York. At that time, many Speedmaster Moonwatch enthusiasts were fascinated by it and eagerly anticipated its release. Today, this new Speedmaster series moon watch has been officially released and is available to the public. Swiss watch replicas.
The most unique design highlight of the new Speedmaster Moonwatch is its rare white dial. The Speedmaster was first launched in 1957. The primary purpose of its innovative design was to create an easy-to-read watch to ensure the time display was clear and legible. Therefore, the first-generation Speedmaster watch had a black dial with white hands and hour markers. The new watch’s opposite color design shows the same tremendous visual effect. The white dial is paired with black hands and hour markers, and the word “Speedmaster” on the dial is bright red. The entire dial presents a glossy lacquer effect. This process is also the first time that Omega has applied it to a moon watch’s “stepped” dial. Above.
Why does the new Speedmaster Moonwatch have a white dial? Its primary inspiration comes from the white and black color scheme of astronauts’ spacesuits, especially those worn during extravehicular activities (EVA) such as spacewalks. Omega has always had an actual historical origin in human space exploration and continues to this day. Since 1965, the Speedmaster Moonwatch has been approved by NASA as the designated equipment for all manned space missions and became the first watch to land on the moon.
There is another unique reason the new Speedmaster Moonwatch uses a white dial. Omega has worked with NASA to complete the top-secret Alaska Project project to create an ideal watch suitable for space missions. In 1969, the Speedmaster Alaska Project I Watch was launched. After months of experimentation, Omega used a white dial because of its very effective heat-reflective properties.
In addition, the new watch’s red element is also derived from the design of NASA’s space suit. Since the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, the space suit has been decorated with red lines to display the commander’s title. The red “Speedmaster” lettering on the dial is also a tribute to the Alaska Project I prototype watch, echoing its red heat-insulating cover.
More design details of the new Speedmaster Moonwatch show Omega’s exquisite watchmaking craftsmanship. The watch case is 42 mm and is made of stainless steel. It is paired with a comfortable retro-style stainless steel bracelet with five side-by-side arched links. The new watch inherits the classic design and uses a composite polishing and brushing process to make the watch more refined. The new watch also has two other models: a black micro-perforated leather strap decorated with red and white stitching and an antibacterial rubber strap with a three-dimensional moon inside. The surface pattern combines comfort and beauty. Luxury replica watches.
The new watch has a black anodized aluminum bezel and the iconic “Dot over 90” on its tachymeter scale (the dot of 90 is located above the number). It is specially designed for Speedmaster moon watch enthusiasts. The watch is equipped with Omega’s 3861 Master Chronometer movement, an upgraded version of the legendary 321 movement trusted by astronauts who landed on the moon.
