Another round, another race! But this year the formula is a bit different because Omega has decided to hold a new format called Omega Days for presenting the new models. From today, 7th of March to the 9th March, the maison will reveal the first news of the year.

Now enough with the chatter and literally “immerse ourselves” in the first novelties presented by Omega this year.

Seamaster Professional Ultra Deep

Ultra Deep in Titanium

We really start from the bottom, from the depths of the Marianas. The first line presented takes inspiration from the concept watch that in 2019 set the new record for the depth in the Mariana Trench. The Seamaster Ultra Deep in forged grade 5 titanium is waterproof up to … hold on tight: 6000 meters. It features a brushed ceramic bezel with a 60 minute underwater scale and asymmetrical sandblasted case.

The special “Manta” lugs are fitted with a NATO strap with a grade 5 titanium loop and buckle. As for the dial, the base is always titanium, this time with ceramic coating. Arabic cyan indexes are applied at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. Note also the fading blue color of the second hand.

The dimensions, given the task entrusted, certainly cannot be skimpy. A diameter of 45.5 mm and a thickness of 18.12 mm.

Ultra Deep in O-MEGASTEEL

The steel cousins of the model presented earlier. They too are resistant to a depth of 6,000 meters. The peculiarity of these models is the brand new material they are made of, an alloy similar to steel that the maison has renamed “O-MEGASTEEL”. Visually this alloy is lighter than steel. As for the mechanical performance, it has a higher resistance to corrosion, a hardness 40% higher than conventional steel, it is anti-allergenic and anti-magnetic.

Also in this case the bezel is in ceramic and presented in three distinct variants: the first black with an underwater scale in Liquimetal, the second in satin blue with a Grande Feu white enamel scale and finally the third variant with a bright orange with ceramic scale. liquid and Super-Luminova. We also have three versions for the dials, one in white and two with a gradient effect from gray to black or from blue to black. The hands and indexes are in 18K white gold.

Unlike their titanium cousin, these watches are available with either an integrated O-MEGASTEEL bracelet or a rubber strap.

Both the titanium and the steel models feature a grade 5 titanium caseback with a conical internal structure for pressure distribution at the most extreme depths. On the laser-engraved caseback we find the emblem of a sonar, in the center the iconic Omega seahorse and finally the markers for saturation dives.

Last but not least, the Caliber 8912 Co-axial Master Chronometer animates all the watches presented so far certified Master Chronometer.

Seamaster Diver 300M

We rise from the depths of the abyss but we have not yet come out of the ocean.

Omega presents a new green variant of the Seamaster Diver 300m. Green ceramic bezel with white scale in Grande Feu enamel and wave pattern dial always in green. The caliber is a Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8800 which can be seen from the sapphire crystal caseback.

Seamaster Aqua Terra

The news haven’t ended yet and this year Omega also presents new configurations of the Seamaster Aqua Terra. For the 38 mm models, 5 new colors were presented: Atlantic blue, Bay green, Sandstone, Saffron and Terracotta.

For smaller wrists, the 34 mm version was presented in Sea Blue, Lagoon Green, Sandstone, Rosa Conchiglia and Lavanda.

The dial of both sizes is brushed with spokes starting from the center. For the 38mm models the indexes and hands are rhodium-plated, while they are in 18K white gold for the 34mm. For all these models Omega has provided an integrated steel bracelet, improving the existing one. Also for this model, the beating heart is a Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8800.

Constellation 41 mm

After having ascended the abyss we immediately pass to the stars. For the Constellation collection, Omega introduces four new 41 mm variants: rhodium gray, gradient green, burgundy and white.

In addition to the colors, it will be possible to choose between three combinations of different materials: steel, steel and yellow gold and finally steel and Sedna Gold. The bezel, again in ceramic like the dial, features Roman numerals made in white enamel or Omega Ceragold depending on the model. In this case, the caliber that drives the watch is a Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8900.

Constellation Aventurine

A real gem comes with the new 28 mm Constellation with Aventurine dial, a stone literally produced by the force of Nature. By definition, therefore, no quadrant can ever be the same as the other.

You can choose between the combination of steel and Sedna Gold or totally Sedna Gold.

The available dial colors are green, blue and red. The Sedna Gold bezel may feature engraved Roman numerals or a set of diamonds set. The indexes are also set brilliant, while the Sedna Gold hands are skeletonized.

These timepieces are powered by a Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 8701 visible from the sapphire crystal caseback.

Constellation 28 mm

Four new pastel colors have been added for the 28mm Constellations: blush rose, patchouli blossom, celestial blue and green matcha. In addition to the ceramic dial, the pastel color also stands out in the Roman numerals of the bezel.

All four new models were presented in steel only. The spheres, indexes and other applied elements are in 18K white gold. The quartz caliber 4061 animates the timepieces. On the caseback we find an astronomical observatory surrounded by 8 stars representing all the prizes Omega won between the 1930s and 1940s.

The new Speedmaster del 2022

After seeing the Stars, we finally land on the Moon with the brand new Speedmasters.

Speedmatser ’57

This year, the Omega Speedmaster ’57 returns in 8 new models, first introduced in 2013.

We find four new models with integrated steel bracelet and four with leather strap matched to the color of the dial. The most important upgrade in this case is the new Co-Axial 9906 manual caliber certified as a Master Chronometer, which allows for a slimmer design.

Of all the models presented, the one with the black “sandwich” dial cannot fail to stand out. In addition we find three other variants with blue, green and burgundy dial. The dimensions are absolutely pleasing, with 40.5mm in diameter and 13mm thick, which makes this watch slimmer and more harmonious than its predecessor.

Speedmaster Moonwatch

In recent years Omega had already made us understand its commitment to researching new alloys and materials with always cutting-edge aesthetic and mechanical performance and this year too it does not contradict itself.

With two new Speedmaster Moonwatches, the maison reintroduces, after the first Apollo XI, its yellow gold alloy, the Moonshine Gold. The first model features a green PVD dial and a green ceramic bezel. The second model instead has a Moonshine Gold dial, black counters and black ceramic bezel.

The models are available with an integrated bracelet in Moonshine Gold or with a rubber strap with a clasp in Moonshine Gold 18K. Both models powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 3861.

Conclusions

Having reached the end of this article, we want to draw conclusions by telling you that as we expected, Omega continues to engage in cutting-edge research and technology combined with impeccable aesthetic attention.

I honestly can’t say which is my favorite model of these new releases, the Moonwatch with Moonshine Gold dial has an incredible charm but the 29mm Constellations don’t mess around …
