Model Spotlight: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch
The New Classic
The Original Legend
Before last year’s 3861 update, the most recent version of the Moonwatch featured OMEGA’s tried and true Caliber 1861 movement. First appearing in the late 1960s, the movement became a favorite thanks to its reliability and durability.
Feldmar is proud to have a few factory-fresh samples of these 1861 variants in stock but act quick – once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Special Editions
Thanks to a design that lends itself to endless creativity, the Moonwatch has proven the perfect platform for special editions to commemorate people, places, and events. One of our favorites at Feldmar is this black and yellow Dark Side of the Moon. Saluting the Apollo 8 mission’s record-setting journey around the moon, the dial features an exacting render of the lunar surface as seen by NASA astronauts.
Bold Materials
Proving its versatility, OMEGA’s designers have used the Moonwatch to explore new, exciting case materials. One such success uses OMEGA’s proprietary material, an 18kt alloy known as Sedna Gold. With a bright, warm tone, the Sedna Moonwatch brings some extra sauce to the watch game! Available on a matching bracelet or black leather strap, either variant is an elevated experience that raises the Speedy Moonwatch up to serious grail status.
