Omega Releases 38mm Speedmaster as a Mini Moonwatch

Restoring Moonwatch design cues, the relaunch uses two movements across seven variants to target collectors who prefer vintage-sized wearability.

Overview

  • Omega announced the new 38mm Speedmaster collection on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, positioning the line as a compact 'mini Moonwatch' with seven distinct references.
  • The range splits into one no-date black-dial model powered by the Caliber 3332 and six date-equipped variants driven by the Caliber 3330, a change that clarifies the lineup's mechanical differences.
  • Omega set the black, no-date 38mm as the entry Moonwatch-aligned piece at about $6,500 while higher-end options include an $11,700 steel-and-gold 'cappuccino' and jewel-set mother-of-pearl models.
  • Collector-facing design changes include replacing oval subdials with round, thicker Moonwatch-style subdials and restoring the Dot-Over-Ninety on the tachymeter bezel, details brands and enthusiasts treat as key to Moonwatch authenticity.
  • The launch answers growing demand for smaller, vintage-proportioned watches — a trend that makes the 38mm size more wearable for many buyers and could broaden Speedmaster appeal across wrists and price tiers.
