If you’ve ever felt that pang of envy seeing a sleek watch adorning the wrist of a celeb without a clue as to its origin, you’re not alone. Daniel Craig, our beloved James Bond, has long been known for his affinity for timepieces, particularly his partnership with Omega. A few months back, he tantalized us with a white-dialed Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional at New York’s Planet Omega exhibition. But the wait is over, folks. Omega has officially unveiled this enigmatic beauty, giving us a chance to admire it up close.
In terms of specs, this variant sticks to the classics with a 42mm stainless steel case, black aluminum tachymeter bezel, and an in-house Master Chronometer-certified caliber 3861 chronograph movement. But what sets it apart is the glossy white lacquer dial—a first for the Moonwatch. It’s a classy touch, complemented by black hands and a red-tipped chronograph second hand. The steel bracelet adds a touch of ruggedness, though black leather is an option for those seeking a more refined look.
But here’s the kicker: this new Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional isn’t just another pretty face. It’s a nod to Omega’s storied past, reminiscent of the “Alaska Project” Speedmasters from the ‘60s and ‘70s, designed specifically for manned space flight. And the best part? It’s not a limited edition, so you won’t have to scramble to secure one. Priced at $8,100, this timeless piece will be hitting shelves in the coming weeks, offering a blend of heritage and innovation that’s hard to resist.
