Omega’s latest launch is a collection that paints a clear picture of what the moon looks like. The Speedmaster has a rich history dating back to 1969, when astronomers wore an Omega timepiece on an expedition to the moon.

This new release honors Omega’s trip to the moon with two different timepieces manufactured from elements found in outer space. It’s worth noting that these two timepieces are characterized by an outer-space aesthetic.

The dial is constructed from an iron meteorite material with a unique texture that adds some depth to the overall look. It definitely looks like it was curved out while falling into Earth’s atmosphere from outer space.

Apart from that, the moon phase complication sits above the 6 O’clock denotation, and it is fitted with two moon-shaped cabochons that align with the real lunar phases. Even though the cabochons look so realistic, the stars surrounding the two stones are the icing on the cake.

According to Omega, this constellation was captured in 1969, when the Speedmaster made it to space.

To highlight various components, Omega covered the dial with a stylish coating.

The first watch comes with a black PVD coating, characterized by white marks and grooves to bring out the meteorite-like appearance. Hour markers and hour hands are made from 18k gold, creating a beautiful contrast between the black background and bright elements.

While the second timepiece has a similar design, the front is quite different thanks to the grey and white aesthetic.

Omega pulled this off with two coatings—a blue coating on the base, topped off by a grey one for a meteorite-like finish. Subdials also have a blue color that sticks out due to the grey background.

Just like the first watch, the grey model was rolled out with an elegant dial, accentuated by a criss-cross pattern formed by grooves. Turns out that these two watch models are not so different after all.

Various denotations, such as the hour and seconds markers, are cleverly designed to display time while complementing other elements.

Both watch versions cost $17,100.

An unparalleled combination of style and functionality
Todd Snyder x Unimatic still

The Todd Snyder x UNIMATIC collaboration is the first of its kind. This is not because Todd Snyder has never made watches; of course, he has. But because this is the first time the legendary designer has worked with UNIMATIC, who has a design philosophy centered on functionality, updating traditional watch styles with a modern, minimalist approach to create distinctive, one-of-a-kind pieces. With the two of them coming together, this is bound to be a quick job selling out of this limited edition.

"I first discovered UNIMATIC a few years ago on Pinterest — I’m an obsessive Pinterest user. I was instantly drawn in and thought, ‘What is this? These are incredible.’” says Snyder, Founder and President of Todd Snyder. “I started incorporating UNIMATIC into my seasonal mood boards, always envisioning our guy, his life, and of course, the watch he’s wearing. When I finally met Giovanni and Simone from UNIMATIC, I knew — this was the watch.”
