Whichever Moonwatch you choose - a lower-priced model like our test watch with Hesalite crystal, closed back and stainless-steel bracelet for $6,300 or the most expensive version in 18k Canopus white gold for $45,300 - you always wear a piece of authenticity on your wrist. There are a now total of eight new versions in stainless steel and Omega’s proprietary precious metals (Sedna red gold and Canopus white gold), either with a historically inspired Hesalite crystal or a contemporary sapphire crystal, with a closed metal back or a transparent sapphire crystal in the back, attached to a leather, nylon or metal strap, and each with a five-year warranty. While Omega announced that it wanted to exclude the Moonwatch from the first Master Chronometer certification more than six years ago, the manufacturer now presents the next generation of models. Affectionately nicknamed the “Moonwatch” because it accompanied astronauts who landed on the moon, this Speedmaster has become a cult watch that is always only gently revised. Although this watch is equipped with the latest movement technology, detailed observations in our test find that its exterior remains true to the design of the cult model.

Omega kicked off the year 2021 with a bang by elevating the legendary Moonwatch to Master Chronometer.
