New Watch 2021 - The Fourth-generation Speedmaster

The design of the new watch is inspired by the fourth-generation Speedmaster ST 105.012, which was also the Speedmaster that accompanied the Apollo 11 astronauts to the moon in 1969. Design details include: the fourth-generation Speedmaster’s iconic asymmetrical case, "stepped" dial and double beveled back; the tachymeter scale on the anodized aluminum bezel features the iconic " Dot over 90" (the dot on the scale of 90 is located above the number) and "Dot diagonal to 70" (the dot on the scale of 70 is located diagonally below the number).

The most significant upgrade of the new generation of Omega Speedmaster replica watches is the internally equipped Omega 3861 Master Chronometer movement. After 4 years of trial and error, this movement was launched in 2019. The 3861 movement has 240 parts and has passed the industry's higher standard Zhizhen Observatory certification, which improves the accuracy, anti-magnetic performance and power reserve of the movement, and the daily time error has been increased from -1/+11 seconds to 0/ +5 seconds, can resist the interference of strong magnetic field up to 15,000 Gauss.

The 3861 movement has also added a stop-second function, but the vibration frequency is still maintained at 21,600 beats/hour, which is said to be a tribute to the 1861 movement. In addition, the 3861 movement also adds 8 jewel bearings to ensure the need for upgraded performance. The case of the new generation of Speedmaster series moon watches is 42 mm. There are eight models to choose from, which are made of stainless steel, Sedna® 18K gold or Canopus 18K gold.
