The story of this Omega Speedmaster
The history of Omega is intimately linked to space conquest, and this iconic model is absolute proof of it. The creation of this immaculate white-dial version pays direct tribute to the extravehicular suits worn by NASA astronauts during the Apollo missions. It also draws inspiration from the Alaska Project prototype developed in 1969, in which a white surface had been chosen for its optimal thermal reflection coefficient against the intense solar radiation in outer space. This Omega Speedmaster 310.30.42.50.04.001 enhances the heritage of the first watch worn on the moon while bringing to it a luminous and truly contemporary aesthetic. The fleeting appearance of a prototype on Daniel Craig’s wrist in autumn 2023 had also ignited the international watch community well before its official launch.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Speedmaster
Crafted in stainless steel, the asymmetrical case features a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 13 mm. It skilfully alternates subtly brushed surfaces and polished chamfers that highlight its twisted lugs. The stepped lacquered white dial offers remarkable depth, enhanced by blackened applied faceted indexes and the famous red mention matching the tip of the central chronograph hand. The black aluminium bezel bears the historic dot over 90 detail, a visual element highly prized by enthusiasts. A box-type sapphire crystal protects this luminous dial, while another sapphire crystal on the back reveals the complex architecture of the movement. It is the manual-winding calibre 3861. This Master Chronometer-certified chronograph beats at 3 Hz and guarantees a power reserve of 50 hours. It incorporates 26 jewels and the famous Co-Axial escapement to provide magnetic resistance of up to 15000 gauss. The watch is secured to the wrist by a supple 5-link steel bracelet fitted with small polished links and a folding clasp incorporating a fine adjustment system.
Why this Omega watch
The arrival of a lacquered white dial on the regular-production steel version represents a rare and major event for the prestigious Swiss manufacture. This piece challenges the traditional codes of the icon while scrupulously respecting its original technical DNA. On the demanding pre-owned market, this precise configuration is sought after because it offers a luminous and dressier alternative to the classic black dial while retaining perfect daytime legibility. Its refreshing allure and sometimes restricted availability within the official network make it a bold and stately choice for any discerning collector.
