OMEGA has made the headlines to kick-start 2021 with the announcement of a new generation of the Speedmaster Moonwatch. But die-hard vintage fans don't need to worry, the timepiece remains true to the spirit of its predecessors. Which, of course, is the whole point.<\/p>\n<p>First things first: the Moonwatch will be fitted with a new calibre, the 3861, an upgraded version of the 1861 (already presented to SoBARNES readers on the Speedmaster <a href=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/passions-en\/omega-is-sending-snoopy-to-the-moon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018Silver Snoopy Award\u2019 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary<\/a> piece). Which naturally means the timepiece has earned the coveted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegawatches.com\/planet-omega\/watchmaking\/the-master-chronometer-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MASTER CHRONOMETER<\/a> title created by OMEGA in 2015 to ensure the highest level of accuracy, performance and magnetic resistance in the Swiss watch industry. With 8 tests carried out by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) following an initial certification by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), it is safe to say that each watch is a masterpiece of accuracy and reliability.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Speedmaster Moonwatch in Stainless Steel \u2013 The Legacy Continues\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CizeeuIiZcI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For this high-flying launch, OMEGA has taken its inspiration from the fourth-gen Moonwatch worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon in 1969. \u201c<em>When updating a sacred timepiece like the Speedmaster Moonwatch, every detail must be true to its original spirit\u201d, <\/em>says Raynald Aeschlimann, OMEGA\u2019s President and CEO. <em>\u201cThis chronograph is recognized the world over, so we\u2019ve approached its design with the most sincere respect, while taking its movement to the next level<\/em>\u201d. The asymmetrical case with its bevelled angles and the dial with degrees remain, of course, constant features. Along with the famous dot-over-ninety and a dot diagonal to 70 on the bezel ring (how\u2019s that for the 100% SoBARNES detail!). But there have also been a number of updates, such as the minute track which is now split into 3 divisions, as opposed to the 5 divisions on previous models. Or the polish-brushed steel bracelet with five links per row and a new clasp, all more or less in the same design as the 1969 version.<\/p>\n<p>The new Speedmaster Moonwatch Master Chronometer is available in 8 versions in gold or steel, with a leather strap or steel or gold bracelet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-103319 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/so-luxe\/omega-is-sending-the-moonwatch-back-into-orbit\/attachment\/1-omega-310-32-42-50-01-001-copie-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-OMEGA-310-32-42-50-01-001-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-OMEGA-310-32-42-50-01-001-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-OMEGA-310-32-42-50-01-001-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/so-luxe\/omega-is-sending-the-moonwatch-back-into-orbit\/attachment\/4-omega310-60-42-50-01-001-copie-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4-OMEGA310-60-42-50-01-001-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4-OMEGA310-60-42-50-01-001-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4-OMEGA310-60-42-50-01-001-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/so-luxe\/omega-is-sending-the-moonwatch-back-into-orbit\/attachment\/6-omegacalibre3861-copie-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6-OMEGACalibre3861-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6-OMEGACalibre3861-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6-OMEGACalibre3861-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/so-luxe\/omega-is-sending-the-moonwatch-back-into-orbit\/attachment\/omega-moonwatch-bracelet-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/omega-moonwatch-bracelet-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/omega-moonwatch-bracelet-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/omega-moonwatch-bracelet-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Fly me to the Moon\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And because it\u2019s you, here\u2019s the SoBARNESpedia fact:<\/p>\n<p>In 1962, NASA subjected various watches to extreme conditions in order to determine which one would make the journey to space.
