Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 42mm 'Reverse Panda'

Without a doubt, the Speedmaster is precisely the model that, to a large extent, has turned Omega into what the brand has been over the last 50 years, and for this reason it is this model that first appears in the imagination of every watch enthusiast when the brand is mentioned. Today we have the pleasure of presenting to your attention a new interpretation of that famous Omega watch to which the brand largely owes its popularity, namely the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co-Axial 42 mm. This is the new version of the legend, launched at the beginning of 2026, in which the manufacturer has managed to modernise the model without making it feel intrusive and without disturbing its classic appearance. The model is the newest representative of the Moonwatch series and, besides being the so-called “Sapphire sandwich”, it has several important characteristics worth noting. Despite the fact that, for only the second time in non-limited Speedy Pro Moonwatch models, a lacquered dial is used here, this time made of two plates, this new model is also the first non-limited Moonwatch in stainless steel with a ceramic bezel, the first non-limited Moonwatch with a reverse panda design and the first non-limited stainless-steel Moonwatch with a price above 10,000 euros. It is a solid, surprisingly modern take on a watch that has historically featured gradual improvements, but this is not the first time in recent history that Omega has turned towards a more modern audience. Its other characteristics are familiar – sapphire crystal, transparent caseback, but again with a hand-wound movement, a successor to the famous Lemania. We are sure that, for most of us, when we hear the phrase “Omega Speedmaster”, this exact design comes to mind first, and it is precisely for this reason that the manufacturer has made sure not to disappoint. And of course, the movement – the Omega Calibre 3861 used in the watch is the brand’s latest interpretation based on the legendary Lemania 1873 – mechanical, manually wound, with 26 jewels, 50 hours of power reserve and operating at 21,600 vibrations. Unlike the movement used in the previous version of the Moonwatch, this movement is now Co-Axial with a silicon hairspring. Thanks to the many improvements and innovations, the movement now has METAS certification due to its achieved anti-magnetism of 15,000 gauss. The rhodium plating of the movement gives it a luxurious finish, while the “Geneva waves” and engravings elevate it to a much higher level.
