A New Perspective on the Speedmaster

Few watches carry the weight of history like the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch. In 2026, OMEGA presents a refined new expression of this icon, introducing an inverted dial design that brings fresh contrast and depth to one of the world’s most recognisable chronographs. This latest Speedmaster stays true to the spirit of the Moonwatch while elevating its visual identity through subtle but meaningful design evolution.

The Speedmaster in Its Purest Form

With its unmistakable black dial, white chronograph counters and classic tachymeter bezel, the Speedmaster Moonwatch remains one of the most balanced and purposeful designs in watchmaking. The new inverted dial configuration enhances this iconic layout by sharpening contrast and clarity, giving the watch a more contemporary presence while preserving its heritage. The signature step dial adds dimensionality, allowing light to play across the polished surfaces and bringing new visual energy to the familiar Moonwatch silhouette.

A Study in Black and White

At the heart of this new design is a sophisticated two-layer dial construction. The top plate is finished in polished black with a varnished and lacquered surface that delivers exceptional depth and sheen. Rhodium-plated frames surround the subdials, creating crisp separation from the base layer beneath. The lower plate is rendered in white, also varnished and lacquered, ensuring a refined and uniform finish across the entire dial. Minute tracks are transferred in white on the main dial and in black on the subdials, enhancing legibility and reinforcing the striking black and white contrast that defines this new Speedmaster.

The Engine Behind the Legend

Turning the watch over reveals the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 through a sapphire crystal case back. This hand-wound movement represents the most advanced evolution of the legendary Calibre 321, the very movement that accompanied NASA astronauts to the Moon. Calibre 3861 delivers exceptional precision, resistance to magnetic fields, and long-term reliability, all certified to the Master Chronometer standard. It is also backed by OMEGA’s five-year warranty, reflecting the brand’s commitment to technical excellence and durability.

Timeless Moonwatch Proportions

The case is fitted with a black ceramic bezel ring filled with a white enamel tachymeter scale, a combination that offers both modern durability and classic Speedmaster aesthetics. A box-form sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment preserves the vintage-inspired profile of the Moonwatch while providing contemporary clarity and scratch resistance. Every proportion has been carefully maintained to ensure this Speedmaster remains instantly recognisable, even as its materials and finishes are brought firmly into the modern era.

Crafted for the Wrist

Completing the watch is the polished and brushed Moonwatch bracelet, designed in the traditional five-link style that has defined the Speedmaster for generations. OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system allows for easy micro-adjustments, ensuring a perfect fit throughout the day. The result is a watch that feels as refined and comfortable as it is technically advanced, making this new Speedmaster Moonwatch as compelling on the wrist as it is in history.
