White dial
The unveiling of this design marks a significant moment, making the watch available for aficionados worldwide. The new edition’s hallmark is its exceptional white dial—a nod to the original Speedmaster’s 1957 design ethos aimed at maximum readability through high-contrast design. This innovative version inverses the classic color scheme, offering the same clarity and aesthetic appeal.

The craftsmanship shines through in the dial’s black accents, new applied indexes, and the vibrant red Speedmaster inscription, all under a pioneering glossy lacquered finish. This finish, a first for the Moonwatch’s step dial, adds a layer of sophistication and depth.
The choice of white draws inspiration from the iconic black and white hues of astronaut suits, particularly during extravehicular activities, reflecting the Speedmaster Moonwatch’s storied history as a staple in NASA missions since 1965. The red detailing also pays homage to the commander’s rank insignia from the Apollo 13 mission onwards, enhancing the watch’s space heritage.
Each variant includes the iconic “Dot over Ninety” on the black anodized aluminium bezel and is powered by the advanced Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, the latest evolution of the Calibre 321 trusted by lunar astronauts.
