Omega is no stranger to tweaking its iconic Speedmaster, but the brand’s latest interpretation really flips the script. The new reverse panda Moonwatch swaps the traditional black subdials for white ones, set against a gleaming black lacquered dial that’s actually built from two layers. This construction adds just under half a millimetre to the case’s thickness—13.54mm versus 13.18mm—but the trade‑off is a dial that looks like polished enamel. Surrounding the dial is a ceramic bezel with a white enamel tachymeter scale. Inside, the manually wound Calibre 3861 keeps time with Master Chronometer precision and a 50‑hour power reserve.

The reverse panda Moonwatch is available in classic stainless steel for about $10,400 or in Omega’s proprietary 18k Moonshine Gold at around $49,300. Both versions use the familiar 42mm case and twisted‑lug profile, with sapphire crystal protecting the dial. Omega hasn’t forgotten about strap choices: the steel model comes on a matching bracelet or textile strap, while the gold version offers a leather strap option. The watch is on sale now through Omega’s official channels.
