The White UK Top Replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches — Better Than The Silver Snoopy Award?

After Omega introduced several Speedmasters not aimed at Moonwatch enthusiasts (e.g. the Speedmaster Super Racing with Spirate technology and the updated Speedmaster Apollo 8), the white-dial cheap replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches finally came out on March 5th, 2024. I use the word “finally” because Omega had already shown it in October 2023 on the wrist of former 007 actor Daniel Craig during a red-carpet event in New York.

Omega sent me the new white 1:1 UK fake Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches to wear for a few weeks, so I did. I wondered if it would meet my expectations. Would it still make the same impression on me as when I saw it in the flesh for the first time?

The white Moonwatch

The introduction of the white Moonwatch took my Instagram feed hostage for days, perhaps even weeks. Finally, there was some excitement for the Moonwatch fans again! I have been buying (or collecting) Speedmasters since 1999, and Omega’s decision to stop producing (limited-edition) variations in 2020 also put the brake on my spending on high quality Omega Speedmaster replica watches. Of course, when Omega announced the current Moonwatch in 2021, I had to have one. After that, though, I acquired no Speedmasters. I won’t say that these three years were meaningless to me, but they did leave me wondering when we would see a cool Moonwatch variation again. And I am not talking about the Swatch MoonSwatch that came out in 2022. Although I bought several, those didn’t satisfy my hunger for more Speedmasters.

No Speedmasters for three years in a row

This three-year gap made me spend my hard-earned money on watches from other brands, including Rolex and Breguet, as well as half a dozen watches from smaller brands. Distraction! Luckily, though, Omega came up with a new Moonwatch variation that I will need to buy sooner rather than later.

Looking at my collection of Speedmasters, I only own one other white-dial model. It’s the 2015 Omega Speedmaster Professional Silver Snoopy Award 45th Anniversary limited edition. To me, it is the most interesting Snoopy edition commemorating Apollo 13, with a limited run of 1,970 pieces. That’s still a higher number to some of you, but understand that it’s less than a day’s production at Omega. You should always put the number of best Omega copy watches of a limited run in perspective. For example, while 1,970 pieces would be a lot for A. Lange & Söhne, it would be zilch for Seiko. I believe that the third Snoopy edition, the 50th-anniversary model that debuted in 2020, has seen a much higher production than the 1,970 pieces for its predecessor. That said, Omega doesn’t give us any info about those numbers, so let’s not make wild guesses here.

Nothing like the previous white-dial Speedmasters

Anyhow, the Snoopy from 2015 is my only white-dial Speedmaster. During the release of the new white Moonwatch, we also carried a few discontinued Speedmasters in the Fratello Shop, such as the Alaska Project from 2008 and the Italian-market Albino from 1997 (now all sold). Whereas the Albino was off-white at best, the Alaska Project 2008 and Snoopy 2015 limited edition were very white — a “hard white,” I would say. The new Swiss made replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches‘ white dial is quite different from those earlier white-dial Speedmasters.

A lacquered dial

The new white Moonwatch has a lacquered dial, giving it a bit of gloss but not too much. It’s as far from a shiny dial as it is from the matte white dials of the Speedmaster Alaska Project and Snoopy 2015. It’s an attractive dial because it also shows a lot of depth due to the applied hour markers (black with a mirror-polished finish) and the recessed sub-dials with circular graining. Based on the comments on our announcement posts for this white Moonwatch, the use of red on the dial is not for everyone, but it does make the dial a bit livelier in real life.

The white Moonwatch has seen a warm reception

Interestingly, this luxury Omega fake watches “just” has a different dial (and handset) from the regular black-dial Moonwatch, but that makes all the difference. Suddenly, it attracts an audience that was never interested in the Speedmaster. I also found that people noticed it quite often when I wore this white-dial Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch during the Watches and Wonders 2024 exhibition and the week after. That was not only true for those in the trade (Watches and Wonders) but also for people just slightly interested in watches. I was at a dinner with a friend who was wearing a classic black-dial Moonwatch 3570.50 but had no further interest in the watch or the Moon association. Even she commented that the white-dial Speedmaster was a beautiful watch without knowing that it was the latest model.

The most interesting comments were those from our Fratello team members when I had it on my wrist in the office. Those who weren’t convinced at first (Morgan and Gerard, I’m looking at you) quickly changed their minds and carefully admitted that they liked it.

I have a weak spot for white dials

I’ve always liked white dials, which explains my (previous) ownership of a white-dial Panerai Luminor Marina, a white-dial Grand Seiko GMT, and two white-dial Royal Oaks (one chronograph) aside from the Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award 45th Anniversary edition. I was actually a bit bummed when I saw that the third and latest Silver Snoopy Award model had a silver dial instead of a white one.

According to Omega’s initial press release, this white dial was inspired by the white NASA suits of the Apollo astronauts and the red elements by the red lines on the suits since Apollo 13 in 1970 to underline the commander’s rank. Just so you know, I think they just look good, but I am aware that these kinds of changes or amendments to a watch need a bit of storytelling behind them.

Same, same but different (appeal)

Except for the dial and hands, the new white-dial top replica Omega Speedmaster Professional ref. 310.30.42.50.04.001 watches on a stainless steel bracelet has the same technical specifications as its black-dial/sapphire-crystal Moonwatch counterpart (ref. 310.30.42.50.01.002). I don’t have that one in my collection, but we put the new white Moonwatch and black-dial Hesalite version (ref. 310.30.42.50.01.001) side by side in a few images. They’re practically the same watch, but the white dial of this model gives the watch a very different aesthetic. It’s almost as if it were a different watch altogether.

That’s why I also believe that the white version complements the black one rather than replaces it. The white Moonwatch has a different appeal than the classic Moonwatch too. As I wrote earlier, the new white-dial version will likely attract a new audience that is not so into the history of the Moonwatch or strict about the wholesale Omega super clone watches‘ heritage. I have noticed in comments on our articles and social media that several people who didn’t have a Moonwatch before bought this new model. Perhaps they weren’t that interested in the “boring” black Moonwatch. Besides that new target audience, I think some Speedmaster collectors will also be more than interested in acquiring one.

The white-dial Speedmaster Moonwatch over the Silver Snoopy Award?

I wore the new white-dial 2024 AAA replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches for two weeks straight, and the excitement simply didn’t fade. Someone asked me whether I prefer this model or the Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary, and I responded that the new white-dial Moonwatch is somehow more exciting to me. Perhaps it isn’t fair as I have had the Snoopy for a while now, but I like things simple. Sometimes, just a dial (and handset) change is enough to revive my enthusiasm for an existing model.

If I had to choose between the white-dial Moonwatch and the Snoopy 50th Anniversary edition today, I’d go with the white Moonwatch. Still, a large part of the fun of the Silver Snoopy is the automaton on the case back, so that version is a must-have for collectors.

“Black and white, dancing together”

Would I prefer the white Moonwatch over the classic Moonwatch with a black dial? I am too much into the history of the Speedmaster and perhaps too much of a purist to select the white-dial model as my “only” Speedmaster. But I think it is an excellent addition to the collection that could have come out much earlier. I prefer a dial-color variation of the Moonwatch over some of the Speedmaster collections that Omega has added “on the side.” I understand there’s a market for them, but I prefer it when things are not too complicated. Just a different dial color is sometimes enough, especially when the “standard” version of the fake Omega watches for men is already iconic.

Being careful when adding more versions

A good example is the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, which was an excellent addition to the Speedmaster collection in 2013. Still, only a little later, Omega flooded the catalog with five or six different versions. The classic stainless steel Moonwatch is a very difficult watch to “touch.” Omega can go wild with the gold or platinum Moonwatches, but the classic one deserves to be treated with care. And I think that’s precisely what the brand did with the new white edition.

The difference in price explained

Unfortunately, all good things end, even my trial period with the white-dial Swiss movements replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches. I had to hand it back after a few weeks, resulting in me grabbing the Silver Snoopy Award from 2015 from the safe to wear a bit more often. But it’s not the same. The new bracelet (with the micro-adjustable clasp), the caliber 3861, and the case shape are all upgrades that have been made in more recent times. Consequently, I need to get this new white-dial Moonwatch. But, just like many of you, I need some savings to do so! This Moonwatch, on the bracelet, has a retail price of CHF 7,700 / €9,000, about €100 more than the black version with a sapphire crystal (and bracelet).

Gregory Kissling, Omega’s Vice President of Product, told us that it’s very complex to produce these white lacquered dials while keeping all the details (such as the sub-dial finishing) visible. This also explains the difference in price with the regular black Moonwatch model with sapphire crystal.

The Speedmaster (Moonwatch) portfolio is nearly perfect

Those new to the Speedmaster will have an even more difficult task now. Rather than “just” choosing between a Hesalite and sapphire crystal, they can now stress out about choosing a dial color. Luckily, the white Moonwatch is only available with a sapphire crystal, which makes it easier.

Omega’s Moonwatch lineup now consists of three standard stainless steel options, a hard-to-get Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary model, the Moonshine, Sedna, and Canopus Gold versions, a platinum version with caliber 321, and a modern version of the 105.003 (Ed White/Gene Cernan) with caliber 321. With all these, I’d say the portfolio is near perfect.

To me (no surprises here, probably), the perfect fake Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches with the white dial is the best release of 2024 thus far in a somewhat affordable price segment. Yes, I understand that “affordable” is different for everyone, but this is the only watch under €10K that excited me in these first months of 2024.

Omega Comes Clean With Glossy UK Top White Dialled Fake Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches

Daniel Craig set social media alight when he wore a bright white version of modern AAA replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches to the Planet Omega Exhibition in New York last year.

Now the UK best Omega fake watches, which has a glossy lacquered dial with white inset subdials, has been given its commercial launch in a reverse of the highly legible monochrome styling of the original Moonwatch.

In addition to its white dial with black hands, markers and tachymeter bezel, cheap Omega replica watches has chosen to present the Speedmaster name in red for the first time.

The mostly white with black colour combination of the high quality Omega copy watches, including the flash of red in the Speedmaster logo and at the tip of a central chronograph hand, is inspired by the space suits of modern astronauts.

Using white also establishes a connection to the 1969 Omega Alaska I prototype, which came out of a project with NASA to design the perfect space replica Omega watches with Swiss movements.

The 42mm steel Omega super clone watches for men uses Omega’s recently introduced Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 – a modern hand wound remake of the Calibre 321 that powered Speedmasters during Apollo lunar landings.

Omega has the watch priced at £7,600, and it is only available in physical boutiques for now.

A spokesperson for Omega told WatchPro that boutiques can get priority for new launches and luxury replica Omega watches are often not immediately available online. Customers can join a waiting list via the brand’s ecommerce site and will be contacted when stock is released for online sales.

The new Speedmaster can be bought on a five row steel bracelet or a range of straps.

Daniel Craig Wearing Yet-To-Be-Released White Dial Luxury UK Replica Omega Speedmaster Watches At ‘Planet Omega’ In New York

This weekend marked the completion of Planet Omega – an exhibition held by the brand in New York City that saw a number of museum pieces put on display and an equal number of celebrities and luminaries (i.e. astronauts) come through. There were longtime ambassadors Nicole Kidman, Cindy Crawford, and her daughter Kaia Gerber – and there was the officially minted friend of the brand, actor Andrew Garfield, who took to the stage to introduce himself during an event we co-hosted last Monday.

But it wouldn’t have been a real Omega event without James Bond – and you can rest assured knowing that Daniel Craig made an appearance – a very meaningful appearance. Dressed in a tailored suit and tie complete with tie clip and pocket square, Craig not only wore cheap Omega replica watches, but one we have never seen before… because technically it doesn’t exist yet. Espionage at its finest.

Keen spotters have surely noted that Craig was wearing a mysterious white dial UK perfect Omega Speedmaster fake watches. A lot of you thought it was a Canopus white gold 3861 Speedmaster, but in reality, it was something else entirely: A speedy with punchy red Speedmaster text and black hands with white lume. The white or white-adjacent dial Moonwatch Speedmasters that I am aware of in the past few years have a Snoopy animation on the dial. The next closest thing is the aforementioned Canopus white gold Speedmaster 3861 – but that’s a silver dial.

It’s my understanding in talking to those who know – though Omega is not going to outright say this – that the high quality replica Omega watches worn by Craig last week is one that is set to be released in 2024 and that his wearing it is the first time anyone outside of Biel has seen it. That means it’s speculation time.

Now, looking at this one, the first thing that comes to mind for any Speedmaster lover is the “Alaska Project” watches – famous vintage (and reissued) white dial best Omega Speedmaster copy watches. The Alaska Project was Omega’s secret endeavor to create iterations of the Speedmaster that were purpose-built for space and future lunar missions. It was so secret that the name “Alaska” was chosen as misdirection. As Ben Clymer once pointed out, the watch has nothing to do with our northernmost state. It’s important to remember that the Speedy chosen for the lunar missions was but a standard model originally conceived as a racing watch. In the tail end of the ’60s into the early ’70s, Omega was ready to make true moon watches.

And it did so with the original Alaska Project prototypes and the Alaska Project II Speedmaster, which was also reissued in the mid-2000s as a white dial watch with capsule-shaped hands in the sub-registers and a red central chronograph hand. This design was carried into the Swiss movements replica Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Mars watches as well. The red case material of the MoonSwatch is a callback to the red heat-shield cases of the Alaska Project watches.

If you strip the Alaska Project down to its essence, you’re basically looking at AAA replica Omega Speedmaster watches with a white dial and red accents, which is exactly what we have in the mystery watch worn by Craig at Planet Omega, though it doesn’t appear to go beyond those basics in terms of an Alaska Project callback. But it’s still an ex-secret agent sporting an ex-secret space watch homage (we think).

In fact, the Craig Speedy has more visual similarities with the white dial top fake Omega Seamaster Diver 300m watches in the current collection by way of the red script lettering. I would love to see these two side by side, as they would no doubt make a cool pairing. And then there’s the 1997 ref. 3593.20 Speedmaster for the Italian market, sometimes referred to as the “Albino Speedmaster.” The Craig watch looks effectively identical to this one with the addition of the red text and the all-black applied markers (if you look closely you can see some shadows coming off the markers, and the lume pips atop them).

But again, little to nothing is known about this 1:1 Omega replica watches as of yet, other than the fact that it appears to be steel, and that it appears on the wrist of one former James Bond – oh, and that it looks great with a suit. I’ve done my best to crop the (thankfully very high resolution) photo such that you can get a really good look at the dial design – notably the all-black text, the all-black hands with white lume, the white dial, and the red text on the brushed and polished bracelet (an indication that this has a sapphire crystal and an exhibition caseback).

Sometimes, as a brand ambassador, you get to make a truly splashy entrance, and Craig did just that at Planet Omega with this Omega super clone watches wholesale. We will have to wait until 2024 to find out – officially – what it is.

The Hot White Perfect UK Omega Speedmaster Professional Fake Watches

As a collector of cheap Omega Speedmaster replica watches, I have always been attracted to the variations with a white dial. I only succeeded in adding one to my collection (finally) in the early 2000s by acquiring the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase ref. 3575.20. It is the most gorgeous variation of the Moonphase models that I’ve ever seen, and I would like to highlight some other white-dial Speedy beauties today.

White-dial Speedmaster watches

The Omega Speedmaster debuted with a black dial in 1957, and it would not be until 1969 that Omega would show the watch with a “light” dial color (gold). A few Speedmaster Professionals have left the Omega headquarters with blue/gray-blue dials, which are incredibly rare. The first time Omega created a white dial for the Speedmaster was in 1970 with a model known as the Alaska Project, and the brand did so again in 1972 with the UK best fake Omega Alaska Project II watches. These two models were specifically developed and designed for use by astronauts. However, NASA never used these Alaska Project models. Still, Philip Corneille, an expert on space watches, discovered that cosmonauts used it in 1977. You can read about it on Corneille’s blog Moon Watch Universe here.

Alaska Project 2008

In 2008, Omega introduced a re-edition of the aforementioned watch, the Speedmaster Professional Alaska Project ref. 311.32.42.30.04.001. This beautiful white-dial top replica Omega Speedmaster Professional watches came with an additional outer red case, just like the one the Russian cosmonauts used. At first, this Alaska Project model wasn’t very popular. We must put this in perspective, though, as the demand for Speedmasters only increased rapidly a few years later. Omega produced only 1970 pieces of this model, which have since become a collectible Speedmaster variation.

The dial of this specific model was white, and the small rocket-style hands were black, whereas the chronograph’s second hand was red. This watch came equipped with a stainless steel bracelet and two additional white Velcro straps. Although I also neglected this luxury Omega copy watches at the start, it has become one of my favorite white-dial Speedmaster Professional models. The steel 42mm case is the same as the then-current reference 3570.50 and has the Lemania-based 1861 chronograph caliber inside. The dial and hands make it a Speedmaster with a very different look compared to the standard Moonwatch, though.

Silver Snoopy Award 2015

I believe that introducing this Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award model in 2015 drastically changed the game for Omega’s iconic chronograph. It sold out (or rather sold in to Omega boutiques and retailers) in a flash, and there has been an incredibly huge demand for these ever since. Omega only made 1970 of them, commemorating the year that Omega received the Silver Snoopy Award from NASA (you can read about it here). The black and white dial worked well with the famous beagle theme.

Some complained a bit about the text balloon on the dial or the printing of Snoopy in the sub-dial at 9 o’clock. Nevertheless, this model remains one of the most highly sought-after modern high quality Omega Speedmaster replica watches today. The Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award 2015 case was slightly different from the regular Speedmaster model at the time and had a snap-on case back. Omega put it on a matching black fabric strap with white stitching.

Apollo 11 35th Anniversary, Mitsukoshi, or Tokyo 2020

“Fowl play!” you could say. In 2003, Omega introduced a limited series of 300 Speedmasters with panda dials for the Japanese Mitsukoshi luxury department store. A late friend of mine was able to secure one back then, but many of those you see around now are modified standard Speedmasters. Omega wasn’t too careful about shipping around spare parts in those days, so this model was easy to recreate. One year later, Omega used basically the same design for the 35th-anniversary edition of the Swiss movements fake Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo 11 watches.

The difference is that it featured “July 20, 1969” printed in red on the dial and a commemorative case back showing the Apollo 11 eagle mission patch. This Speedmaster Professional ref. 3569.31 was limited to 3,500 pieces. In 2018, Omega introduced a set of 1:1 China Omega Speedmaster Professional super clone watches for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (postponed due to COVID-19). One of the five Speedmaster models, with its panda dial, was based on the Mitsukoshi/Apollo 11 35th-anniversary model. We covered them here.

Albino

This Omega Speedmaster Professional ref. 3593.20 (or 3893.20 on a leather strap), introduced in 1997 for the Italian market, doesn’t have a stark white dial. It’s more of a cream or off-white dial, at best. This replica Omega watches for sale commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Speedmaster (1957) and was limited to 500 pieces only. It used a sapphire crystal on both sides, so you could also observe the 1863 movement inside. This caliber was a more nicely decorated version of the standard Lemania-based 1861.

It was introduced around the same time as the 3570.50, the first Speedmaster Professional to use caliber 1861 and Super-LumiNova. The Speedmaster Albino dial and hands also featured Super-LumiNova. This Swiss made fake Omega watches is extremely popular with collectors and enthusiasts, but with only 500 pieces in existence, it is not easy to find. The clean dial makes it a very wearable and likable version of the classic Speedmaster Professional.

Apollo XIII prototype

Here’s the one Speedmaster you can’t have, no matter the funds you are willing to bring to the table. It’s a prototype of a Speedmaster Apollo XIII commemorative edition, and it resides in the Omega Museum in Biel. Many years ago — I think it was even during my first visit to the museum back in 2011 — I was able to take a picture of this specific Omega replica watches for men. The white dial has an Apollo XIII mission patch at 9 o’clock and is topped with blue hands. The dial and hands have tritium lume, as all Speedmasters did at the time (1995). Since this is a put-together watch, I assume that Omega just took an older bracelet (1171 or 1450) and used the caliber 861 chronograph.

Is it time for a new white-dial Speedmaster in the collection?

Omega introduced some other white-dial Speedmaster Professional models over the years. Among them are the bicolor versions from the 1980s as well as the Broad Arrow “Professional” models with a moonphase complication. The ones listed in this article are my favorites, though.

My apologies for the poor Photoshop skills, but the image above is just there to give you an idea of how white-dial wholesale replica Omega Speedmaster Professional watches could look today. As I’ve stated in other articles (and Mike also did here recently), I miss the days when Omega would please us Speedmaster enthusiasts with some variation on the Professional collection. I would love to see some (new) variations on the classic Speedmaster, and I wouldn’t mind adding a new white-dial version to my collection.
