Omega’s updated Speedmaster 38mm collection has seven references, with round subdials, a revised bezel and a five-link bracelet. The official launch release separates six date models using Calibre 3330 from the black no-date version using Calibre 3332. That is the useful distinction for a buyer: choose the reference, dial and function you want rather than treating every 38mm Speedmaster as the same watch.
This is a substantial update. The 38mm size now feels like the main event.
The design shift is obvious. Omega has moved away from the tool-watch look, swapping oval subdials for round ones and adding a thicker bezel to change the silhouette.
The return of the Dot-Over-Ninety nods to collectors. A new five-link bracelet provides a direct cue from the Moonwatch, making the piece feel integrated on the wrist.
Design evolution
The 38mm models borrow from Moonwatch heritage while pivoting towards elegance. Rounder subdials, a cleaner dial layout, and a substantial bezel make the smaller case feel premium for casual or formal wear.
A 38mm diameter does not automatically mean a slim watch. For the black no-date reference 324.30.38.50.01.002, Omega lists 14.75mm thickness and 44.96mm lug-to-lug length. Those dimensions matter when deciding how it sits with a cuff. Try the actual model and bracelet adjustment instead of choosing by diameter alone.
A cleaner dial layout removes clutter. By bringing back the Dot-Over-Ninety and refining the bezel, Omega has given it a presence that works with a white shirt in DIFC or a relaxed weekend look.
The five-link bracelet catches the light differently than the standard three-link. It moves the Speedmaster from the cockpit to the lounge.
New dial colours and materials
The range offers diverse palettes: black-on-steel, white-and-blue, silvery grey with Sedna™ Gold, and green-and-Moonshine™ Gold. Two versions have 52 diamonds on the bezel, paired with ice-blue or white mother-of-pearl dials.
The black-on-steel is for purists. The real interest lies in the new colourways.
The “cappuccino” palette pairs ivory with chocolate brown and Sedna™ Gold. It is a sophisticated combination for the UAE’s luxury aesthetic.
Two models feature 52 diamonds. One has an ice blue dial; the other uses white mother-of-pearl. This turns a sports-watch shape into jewellery.
The green and Moonshine™ Gold combination is distinct.
Technical specifications
The collection utilises Omega’s self-winding Co-Axial movements. Most new references are powered by the Calibre 3330, while the black no-date model uses the Calibre 3332.
Self-winding means wrist movement can wind the watch; it does not mean the watch keeps running indefinitely when unworn. Omega lists 52 hours of power reserve for the black no-date 3332 reference. If you rotate watches and leave it off the wrist beyond its reserve, expect to wind and reset it according to its operating instructions. That is a practical ownership detail, not a flaw unique to this collection.
Six references use the Calibre 3330. The black no-date model is the outlier using the Calibre 3332. This keeps the technical pedigree of the Speedmaster intact.
Where to shop for Omega in the UAE
Use Omega’s current boutique information or a retailer’s actual product listing to locate the reference you want in the UAE. Ask for the exact model, availability, final AED price and warranty terms. A boutique’s existence does not establish that it has every new colour or size in stock. Comparing a 2026 no-date model with an older 38mm date model also requires their separate reference numbers.
Our first choice for comparing the line is the black no-date version against the colour or diamond-set reference you are considering. One foregrounds the Moonwatch-style layout; the others make a stronger material or jewellery statement. View them side by side if the shop has both, and compare case thickness, dial readability and bracelet fit. Do not assume a boutique carries the full range without asking.
For an Abu Dhabi visit, confirm the current stockist and item before travelling. Give the retailer the full reference and ask whether viewing or collection needs an appointment. A shopping-mall recommendation is not a substitute for a confirmed product. Our buying principle is to choose the version you will enjoy wearing, then compare its documented price and service terms rather than buying solely around an updated collection name.
