Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Sedna gold Review

This replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch features an updated Sedna™ gold case.At 39.7mm I thought it might feel a little small compared to the other watches I typical wear, which normally start at 42mm and go up (although to be fair my go to watch at the moment is a vintage Omega Seamaster from the 60’s which barely scratches 36mm). Turns out I was wrong. Not only is it super-comfortable on the wrist but thanks to some clever design by Omega it also looks like it’s a 42mm.

To achieve this little optical illusion the bezel ring actually protrudes out a little bit from the case, rather than sitting flush on top of it. Likewise the sapphire crystal is raised a little bit, giving the watch a sense of depth that is only magnified by the shimmer of the brown polished ceramic bezel ring complete with matt chromium nitride tachymeter scale.

This Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch model is presented in a Sedna™ gold case and features brown highlights, which I assure you look much nicer than they sound. The central opaline silvery dial contrasts nicely with the brown subdials and minutes track, whilst the applied indexes and the hands are all made of Sedna™ gold, with the latter offering a mix of “Alpha” and “Baton” designs.

The manual-wind Omega calibre 1861, which gives the Speedmaster its chronograph functionality along with a 48-hour power reserve. The solid caseback includes the original Seahorse emblem, along with special engravings including “THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE”, “OCTOBER 3, 1962” and “NUMBERED EDITION No.”
