Omega Launches 7 New 38mm Speedmasters, Led by $6,500 Mini Moonwatch

Summary

  • $6,500 buys Omega’s new black-dial 38mm Speedmaster without a date window, making it the cheapest black-dial Moonwatch-style model in the lineup.
  • Seven new references push the 38mm collection closer to the classic Moonwatch with round subdials, thicker bezels and the Dot-Over-Ninety detail, plus a five-link bracelet on the black model.
  • Caliber 3332 powers the no-date black version, while Caliber 3330 drives six date models including an $11,700 cappuccino variant with steel case and 18K Sedna gold bezel.
  • At 38mm, the release targets demand for smaller watches and evokes the 38.5mm Speedmaster Reduced, though its subdial layout and other details align more closely with the larger Moonwatch.

Insights

With prices topping $13,000, does the new 38mm Speedmaster justify its cost, or is the brand just cashing in on Apollo nostalgia?
Will Omega's attempt to shrink the iconic Moonwatch alienate fans of the original 38mm design, or create a new cult classic?
