2025 Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite Watch

Since NASA, after many rounds of selection, finally brought the Speedmaster watch, which was originally designed based on racing speed measurement, to the moon, the Speedmaster has forged an indissoluble bond with the celestial body closest to the earth. It is precisely because of this opportunity that we use the Speedmaster to interpret the moon phase on earth, adding a special layer of significance.

In particular, this new model opens the moon phase display in the southern hemisphere, and uses the ancient lunar meteorite material to interpret the mysterious charm of the moon. At the same time, the starry sky of Bill at Omega headquarters on the night of the "Apollo 11" moon landing in 1969 is accompanied by the side, and the outer periphery of the moon phase is designed with a complete moon age indication. This wave of operations makes the moon phase theme the most prominent visual impact of the entire watch, and it can even be described as shocking.

Lunar meteorites are rarely used in the watchmaking industry. The main reason is that they are relatively scarce and precious. So how did it come to Earth? Was it brought back by the American or Chinese lunar spacecraft? The answer is no. Lunar meteorites are the rock fragments of the moon that splash into space after a small celestial body hits the moon, and then are attracted to the ground by the gravity of the earth. The lunar meteorites that have been discovered and certified so far have their own numbers. My understanding of it is also very limited, so I can only say this.

Omega is also very cautious in using lunar meteorite materials. The previous two times they appeared in very important watches, one was the three small dials of the platinum version of the Speedmaster 321 watch, and the other was the inner ring of the back of the "Apollo 11" 50th Anniversary Limited Edition watch MOONSHINE 18K gold version (yes, that small piece of gray). This is the third time that Omega has used lunar meteorites, and it is also the first time that it has appeared on a steel watch. Moreover, when Omega matches the color of the moon phase stone with two different color dials, it will also give more consideration to make the overall coordination more coordinated rather than completely random.

When our eyes temporarily move away from the moon phase disk, the tension of the Weidmann pattern brings us another impact. That's right, both watches have chosen iron meteorite as the main dial. This pattern is a natural texture formed by the intense burning of the meteorite when it falls to the earth at high speed, and then undergoes a long cooling process to change its internal structure. The black model is an iron meteorite treated by PVD technology, and the gray model is an iron meteorite treated by electroplating technology.

On a watch, both iron meteorite and lunar meteorite appear at the same time. No other brand has ever made such a combination before. This is a natural thing for the Speedmaster, which has had close contact with the moon. And because both stones come from natural celestial bodies, each watch has a unique natural pattern.

Another detail that cannot be ignored is that except for the red date pointer at 9 o'clock, all the hour markers and hands of these two watches are made of gold. The three central hands and hour markers of the gray model are electroplated with 18k gold to blue, while the other hands and all the pointers and hour markers of the black model are made of white 18k gold. The date pointer is made of red anodized aluminum, and the tip of the pointer is processed to fit the angle of the date bevel, and the details are handled very well. The tachymeter bezel of the watch is made of ceramic and decorated with white enamel scale. In addition to maintaining the bright color of the scale bezel for a long time, another reason for using this treatment method is that I guess it is to use the bright surface of ceramic and the frosted surface of meteorite to form a texture contrast.

Omega also equipped this watch with a new manual 9914 Master Chronometer movement. Compared with the previous moon phase watch equipped with the automatic 9904 movement, the thickness of the whole watch has been reduced from 16.9 mm to 13.6 mm, and the case size has also been reduced to 43 mm. The design is more ergonomic and the wearing comfort has been greatly improved.
