The OMEGA Speedmaster, celebrated as the first watch worn on the Moon, continues its celestial connection with the introduction of the Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite. This 43 mm masterpiece offers two stainless steel variants, featuring meteorite elements that celebrate the allure of the cosmos while showcasing OMEGA’s technical prowess.


A Celestial Design

The dial of each timepiece is crafted from iron meteorite, showcasing its unique ribbon-like patterns. These dials are available in:

  • Black PVD-coated meteorite with a black ceramic bezel and 18K white gold accents.

  • Galvanic grey-coated meteorite paired with a blue ceramic bezel, featuring blue PVD-coated hands and markers.


At 6 o’clock, the Moonphase display features two cabochon Moons made from genuine Moon meteorite, rotating to replicate lunar cycles visible from the northern and southern hemispheres. The background stars are positioned exactly as they appeared during Apollo 11’s Moon landing in 1969, viewed from OMEGA’s hometown of Bienne, Switzerland.


Innovative Craftsmanship

Powered by the manual-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9914, the watch boasts unmatched precision, with resistance to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, ensuring durability and elegance.


Exceptional Features

  • Subdial functions: A 60-minute and 12-hour recorder at 3 o’clock, and a Small Seconds subdial with date display at 9 o’clock.

  • Comfort release bracelet: Polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet with OMEGA’s patented adjustment system.


An Iconic Connection to the Moon

Blending heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation, the Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite is a testament to OMEGA’s enduring commitment to its lunar legacy. From its meteorite dials to the celestial accuracy of its Moonphase display, this timepiece captures the magic of the Moon in every detail.

Available now, this watch is a timeless tribute to the wonders of the cosmos, designed to inspire wearers every day, under every hemisphere.
