OMEGA has just released its latest space-inspired watch, the Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite. Available in two different colours and finishes, the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite puts the moon on your wrist, with its textured iron meteor material and lunar cycles display.

While the white-dialed Speedmaster and the Speedmaster Pilot releases of last year would’ve been plenty to tide us over for a while, the brand’s hot streak continues with a pair of Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite.

Both models are fitted with a polished and brushed bracelet featuring OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system. The two new Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite watches are available via OMEGA, each priced at $17,100 USD.

The 43mm stainless steel OMEGA Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite features the brand's first dual hemisphere moonphase display.

Now that the MoonSwatch inspiration is out of the way, let’s go over what else is new about Omega’s latest Speedmaster Moonphases. And don’t worry, it’s

These are 43mm diameter watches, and core parts of the finish are made of actual meteorite. The face backing is iron meteorite, while the moons in the phase indicator at the six o’ clock mark are slices of lunar meteorite cabochon gemstones.

Omega has created a northern and southern hemisphere moonphase complication for a pair of meteorite dialled Speedmaster chronographs that launch today. The brand will forever be associated with the first manned moon landing in 1969 and decades of space exploration as a supplier of precision timekeepers for NASA missions.

Given this definition, it is fair to say that Omega is always holding space for space itself. The Swiss horology marque is constantly encouraging us to hold space on our wrists for its latest odes to the cosmos, something it has done since it became the first watch on the moon in 1969.
