A LEGEND UPDATED
Omega marks the Speedmaster’s 65th anniversary with a new model boasting a
38.6 mm case made from the maison’s proprietary Canopus Gold. Inspired by the first Speedmaster or CK2915-1, the watch flaunts a black onyx dial with an applied vintage Omega logo and typography featuring an oval “O” – a detail on the first CK2915 models. Collectors will also recognise the Naiad symbol on the watch’s crown that was found on some of the first models. If you look closely at the black Grand Feu enamel bezel, you’ll spot two of the original Speedmaster’s most collectorworthy details: the dot over 90 (DON) and a dot diagonal to 70. However, the most important element is the original movement used in 1957, Calibre 321, which Omega began producing again in 2019. An engraving of the Omega Seahorse, a brand icon used on the Speedmaster since 1957, adorns the inside of the sapphire crystal glass. Its eye also features a blue sapphire, a gem that marks a 65th anniversary.
