The white dial speedmaster just dropped

First, the technical details: The 42 mm stainless-steel watch features inside a Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 movement, the most up-to-date version of the Calibre 321 that astronauts trusted while on the moon. The standard version comes on a vintage-inspired stainless-steel bracelet, but you can upgrade to a black micro-perforated leather strap with red and white stitching or an anti-bacterial rubber strap with a moon-surface pattern on the underside.
All these aspects nod to the Moonwatch’s storied history. While the original 1957 Speedmaster had an easy-to-read black dial with white hands and indexes, Omega has now flipped the script. Here, the white dial is paired with black detailing and applied indexes, and the glossy lacquered finish is the first time such a technique has been used on the Moonwatch’s step dial. Given the pared-down color scheme, the Speedmaster name stands out in red script just under Omega’s logo.
While the white focus allows the watch to act as an inverse of the OG Speedmaster, it also emphasizes the Moonwatch’s space legacy. The model has been officially used by NASA astronauts since 1965, and it was famously the first watch to be worn on the moon. So the black-and-white coloring hints at the spacesuits donned by astronauts, with the red detailing akin to the lines that denote a commander’s rank.

I saw this and it does look beautiful but speedies always feel so large on the wrist. Wish they make this 40mm

That's pretty, I want one.

Why do they call it a speedmaster?
Does it vibrate or something?

Thought thread was about an old school clothes washer which OT seems to recommend.

The 3861 wears smaller than the 1861 despite the fact that they are both 42 mm watches. The thinner profile makes a noticeable difference on my wrist.
The reduced version or Speedmaster Automatic has serious rotor noise that always seemed to be a huge problem when I owned the watch. Also, the braclet was subpar. I had Jean Rousseau, maker of the Omega cordura nylon straps, make a black cordura nylon strap for use with a deployant clasp to replace the metal bracelet. Even with the strap change, I had an extreme dislike of the Speedmaster reduced. BTW, I still have this specific strap and would be willing to sell if anyone is interested.

The watch looks great but I'm not a great fan of white dials. I rather dark blue or black, especially with a silver casing.

Speedmasters should be on a strap…goddamnit…does anyone care anymore?
Posted on 3/5/24 at 4:19 pm to Jim Rockford
Oh wow!!! A watch!! How cool!!

I can't bring myself to be a fan. I have the most recent version of the Speedy Pro Moonwatch with the Hesalite crystal mostly out of a nod to history. I do appreciate the METAS certified chronometer movement, and finally Omega has made a decent bracelet after years of finding itself lacking. One of the few things that makes it more wearable for me is the way the end links fall straight down instead of flaring out and the lug to lug is reasonable coming in at 47 mm. And the darn think is just so legible with the black matte textured dial so well executed. I just like to look at it way more than wear it though, and like pretty much all Speedys, it's a bitch to wind with how that crown sucks into the case.

I can appreciate it, but not enough for me to own one.

Deeeyaaam
Can’t decide amongst that one or a IWC aqua master, Brietling, or one of the other Omegas.

I’ve seen better wrist watches in the quad.

For a split second, I thought Triumph came out with a white speedmaster.
