Introducing: The Omega Speedmaster 38mm Now In Full Sedna Or Yellow Gold (Diamonds, Too!)

May 11, 2020

Following the continuing flow of new watches that would have been released among the spring's many (usual) watch shows, Omega has recently announced a?few new models into the more female-focused end of the Speedmaster line up. Expanding the Speedmaster 38mm with four new references, the smaller Speedmaster offering now comes with the option of a case in either full Sedna or yellow gold along with the previously available standard tachymeter bezel or diamond set "dual bezel." Initial Thoughts In either a warm cappuccino-inspired silver on brown/taupe (for the pink Sedna gold) or a rather fetching green/yellow gold, these new Speedmasters expand on a growing collection of nearly 20 references for the 38mm Speedy. Co-Axially powered and chronometer-certified with Omega's Caliber 3330, the range includes standards in steel, a number of more sporty expressions, several two-tone iterations, and now these models in solid gold. I am a huge fan of a solid-gold Speedy, or really any solid gold and sporty Omega C hold my beer. While I am likely not the intended audience, I get why Omega would continue to expand the 38mm lineup, and these new models offer a fitting top-of-the-range option.? Priced at $15,600 for the standard bezel and $18,900 for the models with the diamond-set bezel, while I'd expect these to be a rare sight in the wild, it is hard to argue with execution (especially the green/yellow gold with the bright silver dial). For more general Omega fans, it speaks directly to the quality and flexibility of the Speedmaster design language.?
