Since the birth of the first Moonwatch (i.e. the fourth generation Speedmaster), its appearance style has continued to the Speedmaster series professional chronographs today – asymmetrical case, black tachymeter bezel, screw-in crown, chronograph button shoulder device, “three-eye” layout dial (3 o’clock is the 30-minute counter, 6 o’clock is the 12-hour counter, 9 o’clock is the small second counter), straight hands, the English logos of Omega and Speedmaster series at 12 o’clock, and the brand’s proud “PROFESSIONAL”.
On this basis, the Speedmaster Moonwatch also tried some “dress-ups”. For example, it draws inspiration from the color matching of astronauts’ space suits, uses a stainless steel case with a rare white dial. This is the first time that Omega has used paint technology on the dial of the Moonwatch, giving the dial a gleaming metallic luster. The dial is also decorated with red details, which form a sharp color contrast with the black and stand out against the white background.
There is also an 18K gold style exclusively developed by Omega. The Sedna 18K rose gold, named after the asteroid, is reddish in color and presents a fiery tone; the Canopus 18K white gold, named after the South Pole star, is pure and shining in color; the Moonshine 18K gold, inspired by moonlight, is lighter in color than the traditional 18K gold.
In addition to professional lunar watches, the Speedmaster series now has a very rich variety of styles. The Speedmaster ’57 watch, which belongs to the “Heritage Watch” of the Speedmaster series, pays tribute to the first generation of Speedmaster in 1957. The watch follows the appearance of the first Speedmaster watch and returns to the unique “broad arrow” pointer.
Do you remember the second-generation Speedmaster CK-2998 watch that was the first to fly into space in 1962? Omega used this as a prototype to launch a special replica of the new Speedmaster series “Omega’s First Space Watch”, which faithfully reproduces the classic shape of the prototype watch with a new sapphire glass arched watch mirror.
In the Speedmaster series “Anniversary Watch”, the “Apollo 11” 50th Anniversary Limited Edition uses laser technology to engrave the image of Buzz Aldrin stepping on the moon’s surface on the small seconds dial. Aldrin’s footprints on the moon and Armstrong’s famous quote are restored on the back of the watch.
However, among the Speedmaster series with so many variants, the Speedmaster Moonwatch with stainless steel, black dial and manual winding movement is still an insurmountable legendary masterpiece in the hearts of many collectors and players. Because it is the closest to the professional Speedmaster chronograph worn by astronauts at that time. Best cheap watches online, discover our affordable replica Omega Speedmaster watches collection.
