Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite: A Stellar Start to 2025
Omega has unveiled a remarkable new addition to its Speedmaster collection: the Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite. Featuring a celestial-inspired design, the watch integrates a meteorite dial and lunar meteorite cabochons in the moon phase display, which depicts both northern and southern hemisphere moons.
Beyond its aesthetic enhancements, the model introduces a sleeker 43mm stainless steel case, just 13.6mm thick, housing the innovative manually wound Caliber 9914 movement. With a power reserve of 60 hours and a precision-engineered 21/16mm taper bracelet offering tool-free micro-adjustments, this release merges cutting-edge mechanics with cosmic artistry.
A Visual Spectacle
The Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite is a feast for the eyes, available in two distinct styles. The silver meteorite dial pairs with blue accents, luminous white gold hands and markers, and a ceramic bezel. Its counterpart, a black PVD-coated meteorite dial, features polished white gold details. Both models flaunt a transparent caseback, showcasing the METAS-certified Master Chronometer movement inside.
While Omega has previously experimented with meteorite dials, these new models stand out for their intricate detailing. The moon phase subdial stars depict the sky as it appeared on July 21, 1969—the date of the historic moon landing—viewed from Biel, Switzerland, where Omega is headquartered. Other highlights include a 3 o’clock subdial tracking chronograph minutes and hours (up to 12), along with a date display at 9 o’clock.
