his 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. The watch’s most distinctive feature is its rare white dial.

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.

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is launched in its newest edition – this time with a lacquered white dial inspired by space exploration and the collection’s own prestigious heritage. The 42 mm stainless steel timepiece 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.

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. It’s an entirely authentic connection,, 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 rank of commander.

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 experimentation, 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.
