Omega is also launching two other golden versions of the Moonwatch. This version is now available either with the reference 310.30.42.50.01.002 and a stainless steel bracelet or with the reference 310.32.42.50.01.002 and a leather strap. The sapphire crystal version is similar to the Hesalite crystal version, except that it has a sapphire crystal case back.

In addition, interested buyers can still choose between versions with Hesalite or sapphire crystal. There is also a newly designed folding clasp on the bracelet of the new Moonwatch models. This improves the quality of the bracelet and makes it more comfortable to wear. At first glance, the new strap looks very similar to the previous models, but a closer look reveals a wider middle section of the individual links. The watch strap has also been updated and now comes with a slightly different design.

This new hand-wound calibre comes with a Master Chronometer certification and a magnetic resistance of up to 15,000 gauss, which adds additional prestige to the Speedmaster Moonwatch.

However, the minds behind Omega chose this step wisely and immediately presented a whole series of new Speedmaster Moonwatches to kick off the year 2021 with eight different models. Especially with an exemplary and popular model such as the 'Moonwatch', these decisions need to be considered carefully.

Hearing the news that the Swiss manufacturer decided to discontinue its signature model, the Speedmaster Moonwatch, caused an uproar in the watch world. This principle, which describes the process of giving up beloved images, text passages or ideas if they don't fit into the overall concept, has meanwhile spread to other industries and, in our case, to the brand Omega, which probably surprised many watch enthusiasts. In journalism, we often say 'Kill your Darlings'. Omega discontinues its current Moonwatch references Why the current Moonwatch models have been taken out of production and whether there will be successors to the references 311.30.42.30.01.005 and 311.30.42.30.01.006 will be explained below. We are talking about two specific references here. Swiss watch manufacturer Omega has announced the discontinuation of the Speedmaster Moonwatch on January 5, 2021.

This is certainly not how many people imagined the start of 2021.
