The Omega Speedmaster Moonphase (ref. 304.30.43.52.01.001) brings one of the brand’s most evocative complications into sharp contemporary focus, thanks to a uniquely textured black meteorite dial. Its cosmic surface is punctuated by a moonphase display at six o’clock, rendered with photorealistic detail – a celestial nod to the Speedmaster’s heritage beyond Earth.

Housed in a 43mm stainless steel case, the watch features a ceramic bezel insert engraved with a tachymetric scale, true to Speedmaster lineage. The hand-wound calibre 9914 drives both the timekeeping and moonphase indication, delivering precise performance with Co-Axial regulation. A silicon balance spring ensures magnetic resistance, while twin barrels offer stability across its power reserve. Water-resistant to 100 metres, the case strikes a balance between sport and complexity.

While not a Moonwatch by strict classification, this reference offers collectors something rarer still – a chronograph that looks to the skies in both inspiration and material. The use of meteorite, paired with in-house movement innovation, positions this as a standout within the broader Speedmaster collection.
