New Omega Speedmaster Professional: “Moonwatch in White”
On November 9, 2023, Omega opened a temporary pop-up museum for its brand in New York City called “Planet Omega.” On social media, Omega proudly showed their ambassador Daniel Craig checking out the place, and interestingly, he appeared to be wearing a white-dial Speedmaster Professional that had never been seen before. Although Omega has made white Speedies in the past, none quite match all the characteristics of this new reference, 310.30.42.50.04.001. Let’s take a look at the white Speedmaster on Daniel Craig’s wrist.
You can view the video for yourself on YouTube. Craig’s white Speedy is already being discussed on reddit as well as the Omega Forums. Several possible Omega Speedmaster references were suggested but no known models were quite like Craig’s. By March 5, 2024, Omega officially unveiled the specs of their $8,100 “Moonwatch in White.”

So Is This a New Model?
Yes, Mr. Craig’s white Speedmaster is a new, distinct model. We knew it wasn’t the famous Mitsukoshi or the 2020 Tokyo Edition Speedmaster because those have black subdials. It looks similar to the silvery-dialed Canopus Gold Moonwatch (ref. 310.63.42.50.02.001) and the beloved Albino, an Italy-exclusive model made in only 500 pieces in the 1990’s–but neither of those have the red “Speedmaster” text that Craig’s does. And it’s obviously not the white Snoopy Speedy.
This new stainless steel Omega Speedmaster white dial option should definitely sell well, although the $8,100 MSRP is a bit steeper than other Moonwatch models. Are you tired of new Speedmaster variants or does this one excite you? Let us know!
