Omega unveils a new moon phase, made from advanced materials sourced in outer space, such as meteorite iron and moon meteorite. The post Omega takes a trip to space with the Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite appeared first on The Manual.

Both models are fitted with a polished and brushed bracelet featuring OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system. The two new Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite watches are available via OMEGA, each priced at $17,100 USD.

The 43mm stainless steel OMEGA Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite features the brand's first dual hemisphere moonphase display.

OMEGA has just released its latest space-inspired watch, the Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite. Available in two different colours and finishes, the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite puts the moon on your wrist, with its textured iron meteor material and lunar cycles display.

Given this definition, it is fair to say that Omega is always holding space for space itself. The Swiss horology marque is constantly encouraging us to hold space on our wrists for its latest odes to the cosmos, something it has done since it became the first watch on the moon in 1969.

Today, Omega launched two brand-new versions that do something no other watch from the brand has done before … but the MoonSwatch has. There’s a lot that’s new about the latest Speedmaster Moonphase,

While the white-dialed Speedmaster and the Speedmaster Pilot releases of last year would’ve been plenty to tide us over for a while, the brand’s hot streak continues with a pair of Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite.
