Omega expands the Speedmaster 38 mm collection with seven new references that refine the design while bringing the range closer to the visual language of the Moonwatch.
The updates include rounded subdials in place of the previous oval forms, a cleaner dial layout with less wording, and thicker bezels featuring the characteristic Dot-Over-Ninety detail on the tachymeter scale.
The 38 mm stainless steel cases retain the compact proportions of the collection and are paired with scratch-resistant sapphire crystals treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides.
Water resistance is rated to 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet). The watches are fitted with five-link bracelets inspired by the Moonwatch, with the central or smaller links finished in polished or brushed steel depending on the reference.
The most direct interpretation of the Moonwatch aesthetic is the stainless steel model with a black varnished matte dial and black aluminium bezel.
White Super-LumiNova fills the hands and indexes, while the bracelet combines three brushed rows with two rows of smaller polished links.
Reference O32430385001002, powered by the Co-Axial Calibre 3332 and without a date indication, is priced at €6,500.
The stainless steel version with a white lacquered dial takes a different approach, pairing it with a blue ceramic bezel whose tachymeter scale is executed in white enamel.
The hands and indexes receive a blue CVD coating, echoed by the numerals in the date window.
Reference O32430385004001 is equipped with the date-equipped Calibre 3330 and is priced at €7,000.
A third steel model combines a warm grey aluminium bezel with an opaline silvery PVD dial.
Sedna Gold PVD hands and baton-style indexes are filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the subdials combine brown and Sedna Gold PVD hands.
Reference O32430385002003, also equipped with Calibre 3330, is priced at €6,600.
The collection also includes two bi-colour references.
The first combines a stainless-steel case with a polished 18K Moonshine Gold bezel and a green aluminium bezel ring carrying a yellow-gold tachymeter scale.
Its silvery opaline PVD dial features Moonshine Gold PVD hands and baton-style indexes with white Super-LumiNova, while the smaller bracelet links are made in 18K Moonshine Gold.
Reference O32420385002001 is priced at €11,600.
The second bi-colour model continues the Speedmaster 38 mm's "cappuccino" aesthetic, with an ivory-coloured dial and contrasting brown PVD subdials.
Its stainless-steel case is fitted with a polished 18K Sedna Gold bezel and brown aluminium bezel ring, while the smaller bracelet links are crafted in 18K Sedna Gold.
Reference O32420385002002 is also priced at €11,600.
Two further references add diamond-set bezels to the collection. Each bezel is set with 52 diamonds weighing a combined 1.53 carats.
The first pairs the bezel with an ice-blue PVD-coated dial, while the second uses a white mother-of-pearl dial.
Both feature rhodium-plated hands and baton-shaped indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova.
References O32415385003001 and O32415385005001 are priced at €12,200 and €13,000 respectively.
At the mechanical level, six of the seven references use Omega's self-winding Co-Axial Calibre 3330, an integrated chronograph movement with a column-wheel mechanism and Co-Axial escapement.
The calibre operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), offers a power reserve of 52 hours and incorporates a free-sprung balance with an Si14 silicon balance spring. It is also certified as a chronometer by COSC.
The seventh reference, the black-dial steel model without a date, is equipped with Calibre 3332.
The chronograph provides central chronograph seconds together with the collection's rounded subdials, while the date, where fitted, is integrated into the dial at 3 o'clock.
The revised proportions and reduced dial wording give the watches a cleaner appearance, while the thicker bezels and Dot-Over-Ninety detail reinforce the connection with the Speedmaster's most recognizable design language.
Across the seven references, Omega retains the more refined character that distinguishes the 38 mm collection from the larger Speedmaster Professional while moving its visual vocabulary closer to that of the Moonwatch.
The result is a broader selection ranging from the restrained black-dial steel model to bi-colour and diamond-set versions, all within the same compact Speedmaster 38 mm format. omegawatches.com
