Omega's 38mm Speedmaster: Mini Moonwatch Arrives

Omega has introduced a refreshed collection of 38-mm Speedmaster watches, catering to those with smaller wrists. These new models enhance the existing 38-mm Speedmaster line with notable design improvements.

The most significant update includes the adoption of rounded subdials, aligning them with the classic Moonwatch aesthetic. This change also brings thicker subdials and the essential Dot-Over-Ninety feature to the bezel.

The collection is powered by two self-winding movements. Six references utilize the Caliber 3330, featuring date functions, including a $11,700 cappuccino-style model. The seventh reference, a $6,500 black dial version without a date, is powered by the Caliber 3332.

This black dial model, running on Caliber 3332, is positioned as being closely aligned with the Moonwatch's signature look. It sports a clean matte-finish black dial, a five-link bracelet, and an improved black aluminum bezel, evoking the Speedmaster Reduced from the late 1980s.

While sharing a similar compact size with the 1988 Speedmaster Reduced (38.5mm vs. 38mm), the new 38mm Speedy is more accurately described as a 'mini Moonwatch.' It incorporates more design cues from the iconic Speedmaster, and its price makes it the most accessible black-dial Moonwatch currently offered.
