Omega Refreshes 38mm Speedmaster with Classic Moonwatch Aesthetics

Omega has launched a new generation of the Speedmaster 38mm, replacing the previous line with seven models that feature round subdials and thicker bezels to better match the classic 42mm Moonwatch. While the case remains 14.75mm thick, the design shift addresses long-standing collector requests for a smaller, more authentic-looking Speedmaster. Prices start at $6,500 for the black-dial steel model, with diamond-set variants reaching $13,100.

Omega Speedmaster: From Racing Chronograph to Moonwatch Legend

Originally launched in 1957 as a racing chronograph, the Omega Speedmaster evolved into NASA’s Moonwatch after rigorous testing, becoming the first watch worn on the Moon and the only wristwatch qualified for EVA; through Gemini, Apollo 11, and Apollo 13, its Caliber 321 and later evolutions (861, 1861, 3861) powered astronauts and demonstrated enduring reliability, while modern variants—including FOIS, Dark Side of the Moon, Gray Side, Moonshine Gold, and the Silver Snoopy Award editions—continue to showcase its blend of iconic design and advanced horology.

Buzz Aldrin’s Watches Set for Sotheby’s New York Space Auction

Sotheby’s New York Space Exploration auction lists nearly two dozen Buzz Aldrin–owned watches, mostly Omegas, including a Jaeger-LeCoultre Shark Deep Sea Chronograph and several Speedmasters; bidding is open online ahead of live sessions on July 15. Notably, Aldrin’s moon-landing Speedmaster won’t be sold since it belongs to the U.S. government, but other Aldrin pieces—plus a box of commemorative watches—illustrate his lifelong passion for exploration, diving, and collecting. The sale reflects ongoing interest in neo-vintage and heritage watches, though the author doubts it will break records, given shifting collector tastes toward different watch categories.

Omega has officially released a new white-dialed version of the iconic Speedmaster Professional, known as the "Moonwatch," which has been highly anticipated since it was spotted on Daniel Craig's wrist last November. This new iteration features a lacquered white dial with applied black indices and hands, red dial text, and various strap options, while retaining the hand-wound Omega Caliber 3861 movement and classic design elements. The release is expected to be highly desirable among watch collectors due to its unique historical references and subtle design tweaks.
