Omega kicks off 2026 with stunning Speedmaster updates, featuring reverse panda dials in steel and gold, alongside a Winter Olympics tribute model for timeless appeal.
As we step into 2026, Omega continues its legacy with the Speedmaster line, famous for its Moon landing heritage. This year’s releases blend classic design with modern twists, appealing to UK watch enthusiasts seeking precision and style. From bold colour inversions to Olympic commemorations, the new range promises something for every collector.
The Moonwatch Reverse Panda: A Fresh Take on a Classic
The standout additions are the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional models with inverted “reverse panda” dials – a polished black lacquered main dial paired with white sub-counters. Available in stainless steel or 18K Moonshine™ Gold, these 42mm chronographs feature rhodium-plated or gold hands with white Super-Lumi Nova for enhanced visibility. The black ceramic bezel with white enamel tachymeter scale adds a striking contrast, reinterpreting the iconic chronograph aesthetic.
Milano Cortina 2026 Special Edition: Celebrating Winter Sport
In honour of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Omega introduces the Speedmaster 38mm Co-Axial Chronometer Chronograph. This model draws wintry inspiration from the Games’ emblem, featuring a stamped medallion on the case back and delivered in a commemorative white presentation box. It’s a nod to Omega’s role as Official Timekeeper, combining sporty elegance with historical significance.
Cutting-Edge Features and Technology
All new models are powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 (Moonwatch) or 3330 (Milano Cortina), offering exceptional precision, magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss, and a 5-year warranty. Sapphire crystal on both sides ensures durability, while the patented comfort release bracelet provides a perfect fit. These watches maintain the Speedmaster’s legendary reliability, certified by METAS for top performance. Pricing and Availability in the UK
UK pricing starts around £8,200 for the stainless steel Moonwatch reverse panda, with the Moonshine Gold version at approximately £38,000 (based on current exchange rates). The Milano Cortina edition is expected in a similar range, around £6,000-7,000. These are available at authorized Omega boutiques and retailers like Berry’s Jewellers or Fraser Hart, with online options on the official UK site.
