This “Speedmaster Moonwatch White Dial” is OMEGA’s first-ever production Moonwatch to feature a pure white dial, accented with black and red elements. The design draws inspiration from astronauts’ spacesuits and the Speedmaster Alaska I prototype watch developed by OMEGA in collaboration with NASA in 1969.

The stainless steel case, combining satin-brushed and polished finishes, maintains the Moonwatch collection’s classic 42mm diameter and offers 50 meters of water resistance. The black anodized aluminum bezel recreates the detail cherished by enthusiasts known as the “Dot over 90” – where the white dot for the 90 units/hour mark is positioned above the ‘0’ of the numeral.

The white dial is crafted for the first time using a lacquer technique, achieving a bright and pure white tone. The hands, hour markers, and scales are in contrasting black, symbolizing the black-and-white color scheme of a spacesuit. The tip of the chronograph seconds hand and the “Speedmaster” inscription are a striking red, representing the red stripes on a mission commander’s spacesuit and paying homage to the red protective cover of the Alaska I prototype.

It is worth noting that this new model adopts the applied hour marker blocks, a feature previously seen only in gold-cased Moonwatch models, giving the dial a richer sense of depth. The dial includes a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, all three sub-dials adorned with circular guilloché patterns.

It is powered by the OMEGA 3861 manual-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement, operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering a 50-hour power reserve. This movement is certified by METAS, can resist magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, achieves precision of 0/+5 seconds per day, and includes a practical hacking seconds function.

It comes on a stainless steel bracelet. The official price is 65,600 RMB.
