Useful takeaways from this story.

Seven new Speedmaster 38mm references move toward classic Moonwatch styling: rounded subdials, wider tachymeter insert, and applied Omega logo.

Case dimensions and movements are unchanged: 38mm diameter, 14.75mm thickness, and Caliber 3330 (or 3332 for the black no-date).

Price range starts at $6,500 for the steel black-dial model and goes up to $13,100 for the mother-of-pearl diamond-set variant.

# What changed Omega announced a full refresh of the Speedmaster 38 mm collection with seven new references. The update abandons the oval subdials used on the outgoing models in favor of more traditional, rounded subdials and a bezel design that more closely resembles the classic Moonwatch. Dials are cleaner, with less printed text and an applied Omega logo at 12 o'clock.

# Design and variants The new line includes three steel models, two bi-metal variants with gold accents, and two diamond-set versions. Notable visual points:

  • Black-dial steel ref 324.30.38.50.01.002 is Moonwatch-like and omits a date window at six o'clock. It uses a black aluminum bezel insert and appears to be the most direct echo of the Moonwatch aesthetic.
  • Silver dial ref 324.30.38.50.02.003 includes a grey aluminum bezel insert with PVD-coated Sedna Gold hands and indices.
  • Two bi-metal references add gold on bezel, pushers, crown, and small bracelet links: one in Moonshine Gold (green aluminum bezel insert with gold accents) and one in Sedna Gold (ivory dial with brown subdials and brown aluminum insert).

# Bracelet and bezel updates The bracelet is a five-link "Moonwatch-style" design that feels like a shrunken-down version of Omega's current five-link Moonwatch bracelet. The clasp includes Omega's "comfort release" micro-adjust system with two positions and 2.3 mm of adjustment. The bezel uses a wider insert and includes the dot-over-ninety detail on the tachymeter scale, a direct nod to Moonwatch history.

# Movement and proportions

# Pricing Official prices across the new references are:

  • Steel black-dial: $6,500
  • Steel silver-dial: $6,700
  • White lacquered dial with blue ceramic insert: $7,100
  • Bi-metal models (gold accents): $11,700
  • Ice-blue diamond-set model: $12,300
  • Mother-of-pearl diamond-set model: $13,100

# What this means for buyers

# Bottom line Omega's new Speedmaster 38 mm collection simplifies and re-aligns the visual language with the brand's Moonwatch lineage while retaining the same case dimensions and existing automatic calibers. The range spans entry-level steel models priced around $6,500 to diamond-set and mother-of-pearl options exceeding $13,000, offering a variety of finishes for buyers who want a more compact Speedmaster with traditional Moonwatch cues.
