Omega has launched seven new versions of the Speedmaster 38, ranging from a stripped-back black no-date model to two flashy diamond-set editions.

And the entire collection has been cleaned up, too. The oval sub-dials introduced to the Speedmaster 38 in 2017 have been replaced by conventional round counters, there is less text on the dial, and the bezels are broader and now incorporate the fan-favorite “dot over 90” detail associated with the Moonwatch.

Each watch also comes on a new five-link bracelet inspired by Omega’s most famous chronograph.

All of the seven measure 38mm across, 14.75mm thick, and 44.96mm from lug to lug, with 100 meters of water resistance. Six have a date window at six o’clock and use the automatic Co-axial calibre 3330. The black model is the exception: It has no date and uses the calibre 3332.

You can check out the full new collection below.

1. Black No-Date Speedmaster 38

Ref. 324.30.38.50.01.002

Omega

This is the one likely to interest Speedy enthusiasts most. The combination of a matte black dial, white hands, black aluminum tachymeter bezel, and no date makes it look much closer to the classic Moonwatch than previous Speedmaster 38s.

It also inevitably recalls the Speedmaster Reduced, the smaller automatic Speedmaster produced from 1988 until around 2010. There are important differences though, not least the movement, but the basic idea is similar: a more compact, self-winding alternative to the hand-wound Moonwatch, which at 42mm was a touch too big for some. The new five-link bracelet completes the effect.

The only catch is that, at almost 15mm, it remains relatively thick for a 38mm watch.

2. White and Blue Speedmaster 38

Ref. 324.30.38.50.04.001

Omega

The second steel model turns up the brightness. This one pairs a lacquered white dial with blue hands and hour markers and a blue ceramic tachymeter bezel, with the date sitting at six o’clock.

There are echoes of the limited edition Milano Cortina Speedmaster 38 introduced last year, but this joins the permanent collection. The switch to round sub-dials and the simpler bezel makes it look noticeably more like a conventional Speedmaster than the model it replaces, while the white-and-blue color scheme keeps it distinct from the black Moonwatch-like version.

We can see this one being popular.

3. Silvery Speedmaster 38

Ref. 324.30.38.50.02.003

silver chronograph watch with tachymeter bezel and metal bracelet.

Omega

The third all-steel model is more pared back. A warm gray aluminum bezel frames an opaline silvery dial, while the hands and baton hour markers are finished in Omega’s “Sedna Gold” tone. Brown details appear within the sub-dials.

It is a useful reminder that Omega is not simply turning the entire Speedmaster 38 line into miniature Moonwatches. This is still the slightly dressier, more versatile side of the Speedmaster family, just with cleaner proportions and more conventional chronograph details than before.

4. Moonshine Gold and Green Speedmaster 38

Ref. 324.20.38.50.02.001

silver and gold two tone wristwatch with tachymeter bezel.

Omega

The first of the two bicolor watches combines stainless steel with Omega’s 18-carat Moonshine Gold. Gold is used for the bezel, crown, pushers, and the smaller links running through the bracelet.

A green aluminum bezel surrounds a silvery opaline dial, with Moonshine Gold-toned hands and hour markers. This one is considerably more luxurious than the black steel model, but the round sub-dials and Moonwatch-style bracelet keep the overall design relatively grounded.

5. Sedna Gold ‘Cappuccino’ Speedmaster 38

Ref. 324.20.38.50.02.002

silver and rose gold chronograph watch with tachymeter bezel.

Omega

The familiar “Cappuccino” color scheme also survives the redesign. This version sees an ivory-colored dial paired with contrasting brown sub-dials and that brown aluminum bezel.

The case is stainless steel, while the crown, pushers, and smaller bracelet links are made from Omega’s 18-carat “Sedna Gold.” The combination is warmer and more overtly dressy than the steel watches, and the change from oval to round sub-dials gives this version a noticeably cleaner appearance than the earlier “Cappuccino” models.

6. Ice-Blue Diamond Speedmaster 38

Ref. 324.15.38.50.03.001

silver wristwatch with blue face, diamond encrusted bezel, and metal strap on a light blue background.

The final two watches move firmly into blinged-out jewelery territory. This stainless-steel version has an ice-blue dial surrounded by a bezel set with (count ’em!) 52 diamonds.

Its hands and baton hour markers are rhodium plated. Despite being very different in character from the black no-date watch, it receives the same broader updates: round sub-dials, less dial text—plus that all-new new five-link bracelet.

7. Mother-of-Pearl Diamond Speedmaster 38

Ref. 324.15.38.50.05.001

luxury stainless steel watch with diamond bezel on pink background.

Omega

The seventh model uses the same diamond-set steel case as the ice-blue version but replaces the dial with white mother-of-pearl.

Again, there are 52 diamonds around the bezel, with rhodium-plated hands and hour markers and a date window at six. It is the most jewelery-focused version of the collection and perhaps the clearest evidence of what Omega wants the Speedmaster 38 to be: not simply a smaller Moonwatch, but a broad collection built around the more compact case.

Our Verdict

For enthusiasts, it’s perhaps hard to imagine anything other than the black no-date model becoming today’s talking point. Omega has not officially revived the Speedmaster Reduced, but after more than 15 years without one, this is the closest thing to a modern successor yet—and it now comes in a whole suite of options.
