Watching The Moon

OMEGA is starting the year with two new timepieces in the Speedmaster Moonwatch capsule.

The Swiss brand has been at the forefront of watchmaking innovation since its founding in 1848. For 2026, it has launched two new Speedmaster Moonwatch timepieces , reinterpreting the classic chronograph that accompanied the Apollo 11 crew members on their mission to the moon.

The new models are crafted with the line’s signature step dial, featuring a double plate. The top plate is polished black, with a varnished and lacquered finish for superior sheen and includes rhodium-plated sub-dial frames. The base layer for the sub-dials is produced in white on the main dial, while the sub-dials feature minute tracks transferred in black giving a rare reverse panda look.

In addition to the black-and-white dial, the new watches feature black ceramic bezel rings with a white enamel tachymeter scale. The front features a box-form scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment. The straps are polished-brushed bracelets, crafted in the standard Moonwatch style with OMEGA’s patented comfort-release adjustment system.

The two 42mm choices include a stainless steel version with all hands and hour markers in rhodium plated with white Super-LumiNova. The other version is in 18-carat Moonshine Gold, OMEGA’s own long-lasting yellow gold alloy, that covers the hour-minute hands, subdial hands and hour markers along 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 worn by NASA astronauts. This mechanical quality allows the watches to receive a five-year warranty, along with Master Chronometer certification, which guarantees the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic resistance.
