A New Face Born from Inverted Black and White

A key feature of these new models is the two-plate construction of the step dial, a nod to the Moonwatch tradition. The upper plate is finished in polished black, achieving a deep luster through varnish and lacquer. While rhodium-finished sub-dial frames provide a precise accent, the sub-dial bases are finished in white, also treated with varnish and lacquer.

The minute track on the main dial is rendered in white, while the sub-dial minute tracks are in black. This color inversion creates a visually beautiful effect while ensuring excellent legibility.

The new models also feature a black ceramic bezel ring. The tachymeter scale is engraved in white enamel, enhancing the cohesive monochrome aesthetic. A box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-scratch and anti-reflective properties is fitted for added practicality.

Two variations are available: one in stainless steel and another in 18K Moonshine™ Gold.

The stainless steel model features rhodium-finished hands and hour markers, coated with Super-LumiNova in white.

The 18K Moonshine™ Gold model utilizes OMEGA's proprietary durable yellow gold alloy. All hour and minute hands, sub-dial hands, and hour markers are crafted from 18K Moonshine™ Gold and treated with white Super-LumiNova. The central chronograph hand is finished in Moonshine™ Gold via PVD coating.

The movement powering these watches is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3861, an evolution of the legendary Caliber 321 worn by astronauts on the Moon. It boasts Master Chronometer certification, guaranteeing the highest standards of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance in the Swiss watch industry, ensuring exceptional reliability for daily wear.

The bracelet combines polished and brushed finishes, adhering to the classic Moonwatch style while incorporating OMEGA's patented comfort release system.

These new Speedmaster models, embodying a refined monochrome aesthetic, showcase a fresh perspective while preserving the functional beauty inherent to chronographs. They are a testament to OMEGA's sophisticated design philosophy.
