Omega Speedmaster 321 Returns: Now In Full Platinum
In 2019, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the historic moon landing, Omega reintroduced its iconic Caliber 321, a movement first launched in 1957. After a 50-year hiatus, the return of this revered movement marked a significant milestone in the brand’s history. Its grand comeback debuted with a Speedmaster Moonwatch crafted in platinum, featuring a luxurious onyx and meteorite dial—a model still available today for €73,500.
Introducing the New Speedmaster Moonwatch Caliber 321
Fast forward to 2025, Omega unveils a new iteration of the Speedmaster Moonwatch Caliber 321. This latest release bears a striking resemblance to the 2019 model but introduces a refined platinum bracelet that matches the case, elevating its sophistication to unparalleled levels.
Exquisite Craftsmanship and Design
The new Speedmaster Moonwatch Caliber 321 boasts a case crafted from a premium platinum alloy (Pt950Au20), incorporating gold for enhanced durability and brilliance. The case dimensions remain faithful to the traditional Speedmaster design: 42mm diameter, 11.30mm thickness and 47.60mm length.
Key design elements include a box-shaped sapphire crystal, signature lyre lugs, and a fixed bezel with a black ceramic insert and white enamel tachymeter scale. Fluted crown placement at 3 o’clock is flanked by two pushers, while an open screwed case back offers a view of the beautifully finished Caliber 321. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters.
A Celestial Dial Inspired by the Moon
The dial is a testament to Omega’s dedication to precision and artistry. It features a deep black onyx background, three grey lunar meteorite registers, indexes and hands crafted from 18k white gold and filled with Super-LumiNova for legibility in low light, embossed retro Omega logo at 12 o’clock, accompanied by brand’s lettering and “Speedmaster Professional” inscriptions, and finaly, a minute/second track along the dial’s edges.
Caliber 321: The Heart of the Moonwatch
Powering this timepiece is the hand-wound Caliber 321 movement, revered for its historical significance and engineering excellence. It features 26 jewels, a column wheel and horizontal clutch, reaching 18,000 Vph and offering up to 55 hours of power reserve. Presnting a Sedna gold PVD coating for a luxurious touch.
Upgraded Platinum Bracelet
Unlike its predecessor, which featured a leather strap, the 2025 model is paired with a flat-link platinum bracelet, complete with a signed folding clasp. This upgrade enhances the watch’s aesthetics and wearability, reinforcing its status as a true collector’s piece.
