Omega has introduced a new alligator leather strap option for the two-tone stainless steel and gold variations of its iconic Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional collection. This new strap dramatically changes the watch’s appearance, offering a more refined and elegant aesthetic compared to the traditional metal bracelet. Additionally, this strap provides collectors with a stylish alternative that enhances the classic models’ appeal.
Key Features of the Two-Tone Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Models
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional, well-known for its role in space exploration, continues to impress with its timeless design. The two-tone models, identified by reference numbers 310.23.42.50.02.001 and 310.23.42.50.99.001, blend stainless steel with 18K gold, creating a luxurious and sophisticated timepiece.
Model 310.23.42.50.02.001: This model features a 42mm case made from stainless steel and 18K Moonshine™ Gold. The black ceramic bezel ring includes the “dot over ninety” detail in OMEGA Ceragold™. The sun-brushed, silvery white dial showcases a “step” design, applied Omega logos, and indexes. Complementing these features are the 18K Moonshine™ Gold hands and subdials. The introduction of the brown alligator leather strap offers a new aesthetic, providing a more formal and stylish option compared to the metal bracelet.
Model 310.23.42.50.99.001: Similarly, this model combines stainless steel with 18K Sedna™ Gold in a 42mm case. Omega maintains the iconic Speedmaster design with a black ceramic bezel and asymmetrical case. The PVD-treated 18K Sedna™ Gold “step” dial contrasts with black-coated subdials, creating a bold and distinctive appearance. The new black alligator leather strap enhances the watch’s elegance, offering a sophisticated alternative to the traditional metal bracelet.
Both models feature the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, a manual-winding movement known for its precision and reliability. With a 50-hour power reserve, these models continue to showcase Omega’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship. Moreover, the sapphire crystal caseback allows a clear view of the movement, adding to the watch’s appeal.
The New Alligator Strap Option: A Refined Aesthetic
The alligator leather strap option for the stainless steel and gold Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional models introduces a refined and elegant look. Omega designed the brown and black alligator straps to complement the Moonshine™ Gold and Sedna™ Gold elements, respectively. The straps, secured with a stainless steel foldover clasp, not only offer comfort but also significantly alter the overall appearance of the watch. This change makes the watch more suitable for formal occasions.
While the introduction of the alligator strap does lower the overall price point compared to the metal bracelet versions, the price remains considerable, reflecting Omega’s commitment to luxury and quality.
Conclusion
Omega’s new alligator strap option for the stainless steel and gold Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional models adds a fresh aesthetic choice to the collection. This option provides a distinct look compared to the metal bracelet and offers collectors a versatile and elegant alternative.
