As the weather gets hotter and hotter, and you want to cool down your "psychology" on your wrist, many watch friends will choose a dial color with a more "heat-relieving" color in summer, and watches such as white and blue disks have become a good choice. At the beginning of this year, OMEGA launched a Speedmaster Moonwatch with a crisp white disk, bringing more options to those who love the Speedmaster and the Moonwatch. (Model: 310.30.42.50.04.001)
The main inspiration for the new Speedmaster Lunar Disc is the white and black colour scheme of the astronaut's spacesuit, the opposite of the original Speedmaster. The white dial is complemented by black hands and a time scale, and the contrasting colors allow the wearer to clearly access the time.
There's another reason why the new Speedmaster Moonwatch has a white dial: OMEGA worked with NASA on a top-secret project called "Project Alaska" to create the Speedmaster Project Alaska I for space missions, which uses a white disc because of its heat-reflecting properties. At the same time, it is also a tribute to the white spacesuit worn by astronauts during extravehicular operations.
The "Speedmaster" lettering on the dial of the watch is a vivid red color that echoes the red lines on NASA's spacesuits and a nod to the Alaska Project I prototype with its red thermal cover. The entire dial is warmly and shiny thanks to a special lacquer finish, which is also the first time that OMEGA has applied it to the "stepped dial" of a Moonwatch.
The 42 mm stainless steel case is presented on a comfortable vintage-style steel bracelet consisting of five side-by-side arched links. There is also a black microporous leather strap with red and white stitching and an antibacterial rubber strap for your choice.
Flipping the caseback reveals that the brand has equipped this new Speedmaster with the most beautiful movement, the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, an updated version of the legendary Caliber 321 trusted by astronauts on the moon with a power reserve of 50 hours.

Summary: The new Speedmaster Moon Dial is currently on sale at the Omega flagship store, and the domestic price is 65,600 yuan. Such a watch with both good looks and accurate timekeeping is indeed a good choice in the same price range.
