OMEGA opens 2026 with two new Speedmaster Moonwatch timepieces, each reinterpreting the classic chronograph look with an inverted dial configuration. The new models are crafted with the Moonwatch’s essential step dial, which is put together with a double plate. The top plate is polished black, with a varnished and lacquered finish for superior sheen, and includes rhodium-plated subdial frames. Meanwhile, the base layer for the subdials is produced in white, also with a varnished and lacquered finish. The minute track is transferred in white on the main dial, while the subdials feature minute tracks transferred in black. A detail consistent across both versions that enhances the reversed aesthetic and legibility.
In combination with the black and white dial, the new watches include black ceramic bezel rings filled with a tachymeter scale in white enamel. The front features a box-form scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment. Around the wrist, the watches are distinguished by their polished-brushed bracelets, created in the standard Moonwatch style with OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system.
The two 42 mm choices within the range include:
- A version in stainless steel. All the hands and hour markers are rhodium-plated with white Super-LumiNova.
- A version in 18K Moonshine™ Gold, OMEGA’s own long-lasting yellow gold alloy. The dial includes hour-minute hands, subdial hands, and hour markers all in 18K Moonshine™ Gold with white Super-LumiNova, as well as a central chronograph hand in PVD Moonshine™ Gold.
These Speedmaster Moonwatch professional timepieces are each powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 – the most advanced evolution of the famous Calibre 321 that NASA astronauts trusted on the Moon. This mechanical quality allows the watches to receive a 5-year warranty, along with Master Chronometer certification which guarantees the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance.
