Omega Recasts the Speedmaster as a 38mm Mini Moonwatch

The redesign applies classic Moonwatch cues and two new movements across seven compact references to meet demand for smaller, vintage‑inspired chronographs.

Overview

  • Omega launched seven updated Speedmaster 38mm references on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, led by a black, no‑date stainless‑steel model positioned as a “mini Moonwatch.”
  • The collection swaps the old oval subdials for round recessed subdials, adds thicker bezels with the dot‑over‑90 tachymeter detail, and reduces dial text so the 38mm pieces read closer to the 42mm Moonwatch.
  • Movement allocation separates the line: six date models use the automatic Co‑Axial Calibre 3330 while the black no‑date reference uses the exclusive Co‑Axial Calibre 3332.
  • The seven references span stainless steel, two‑tone and precious‑metal finishes plus two diamond‑set bezels, with prices starting around $6,500 for the black no‑date and the cappuccino date variant listed near $11,700.
  • Omega frames the update as a response to collector demand for ~38mm everyday watches, pairing Moonwatch heritage cues with modern luxury options to broaden appeal and wearability.
