New Release
Cpt Scarlet's original post ignited a lively discussion on the newly launched Omega Speedmaster 'White' dial. This article delves into the community's initial reactions, detailed observations, and comparisons to previous white-dial Speedmaster iterations, offering a comprehensive look at what makes this release noteworthy for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Speedmaster Professional reference 310.30.42.50.04.001 is a variant within the contemporary Moonwatch collection, distinguished by its white dial. This particular configuration offers an alternative aesthetic to the more commonly seen black dial versions, providing collectors with a distinct visual option while retaining the core technical specifications of the current production Professional series. It represents a modern interpretation of the model's established design language.
This timepiece features a 42 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 13.18 mm, housing the manual-winding Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. The movement provides a power reserve of 50 hours. The watch is fitted with a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on the front and a sapphire crystal on the caseback, allowing for observation of the movement.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a Speedmaster Professional with a unique dial color that stands apart from the traditional black dial. Its introduction expanded the visual diversity of the Moonwatch lineup, offering a fresh perspective on a well-established design. It maintains the technical upgrades of the 3861 caliber, making it a relevant piece for contemporary collecting.
I feel both have their strengths.
The draw of the Canopus is not the dial, although the silvery dial is definitely an allure. The Canopus is about having an icon in PM and flies under the radar.
Very nice! The red really pops on this one🤩
The red touches are a cool addition.
