I'm pretty sure that the white dial has all applied indices as well... not just the omega logo like the black/sapphire? could be wrong my hesalite is applied nothing
By gumbo I think you're right. And it's about time. For a watch that costs what it does, applied indices are a step up that should have been done long ago. Personally, I'd like to see a solid caseback with a corresponding decrease in price.
What a stunner. I was about to buy the regular black Speedy, but upon seeing this, I'm going to add the white one to my collection instead. Well done, Omega 👏
I was looking at pulling the trigger on the black one this summer when I retired from the Marine Corps after 20 years. I had tried on the black one and love the feel and was blown away by the iconic nature of this watch but the black face didn’t blow me away because already have some black watches and actually been shopping for a white or blue watch, then this drops. I can’t stop looking at the white face and think I may save a little longer, try this one when available and maybe pull the trigger if available when I officially retire on 1 Aug.
Great review!! If I could change one thing about the watch, it would be to give it a steel bezel. It would make it more of a strap monster if it was just white & steel as opposed to black, white, and steel.
At last a reason to consider a new Speedy. I've had my 1863 a long time and considered a 3861 but at the end of the day I still love my 1863 as it wasn't different enough for me to consider a change when my speedy worked just as well and as accurately after the release of the new model a year or two ago. A white dial version is different enough to consider in the future to complement my old faithful that I have no intention of selling anytime soon.
Jenni, very good initial review and as usual you covered it with precision. Hopefully we see this in the Omega boutique’s by summer . The White Dial looks so nice and it is a great looking well thought out new Speed master by Omega . Cheers from Greece. Love your TH-cam channel .
The white speedy has a variable adjust clasp like some of the gold models (maybe that’s where your additional 2 g comes from). The indices are also applied not painted.
The cream-dialled moon phase 1866 with stunning blues applied indices and broad arrow hands, and white gold bezel, has been around (and slept on) for a long while. One of the most gorgeous, and feature-packed, Speedmasters ever.
Fantastic release! Just ordered a traditional black dial moonwatch….but this is a game changer… or even better white and black in collection is the solution
In the USA it’s $100 difference. Make sense as the white has applied markers and lacquered dial. I think both changes make the price difference understandable. I am curious how legibility changes at night between the two. I love how easy it is to see my 3861 at night with fully lumed indices
I'm in the U.S. The black-dial, sapphire-sandwich Speedy is US$8000 MSRP and this new white-dial version is US$8100, so a US$100 difference (the US dollar and Euro are at parity so it's the same here, yes).
Much prefer it to the black dial which has never done it for me. £7.6K-GBP over £7.5K so £100 more cash than the basic black dial. Think I’ll wait for the hype to die off before taking a closer look but it’s definitely on my radar now. I think it presents good value for money - relatively poor WR at just 50m and just have to get past these bracelets and finishing. Also the daily hand wind could be a chore.
There was a panda version in 2003 for the upmarket Japanese department store Mitsukoshi, 300 pieces only. For the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Collection there was another one, this time 2020 pieces. Not sure if there has been a reverse Panda, but by now they should have covered everything. This means that this all white dial might have been the last. Although the bezel could be inverted too I guess
I just looked on the Japanese Omega site, where I live. The regular Speedy is ¥1,078,000 and the new white one is ¥176,00 more.... much more than just 100 euros... WTF?! I'm glad I bought my hesalite crystal Moonwatch over a decade ago for a fraction of the price!
It's the same design motifs as the white Seamaster which is pretty smart. Seems like they knew the white Seamaster was a hit so do the same for the Speedy. I'm almost regretting picking up the black speedy.
I don’t think this was a fair review of this new release! In comparison to the Panda Daytona, this Speedmaster stands out in every way. The dial is far from plain, with a phenomenal lacquered finish. The addition of red accents elevates it to a new level, and the diamond-polished black PVD hands are simply beyond words. The black olympics strap is just too good. They added 100 euros to the price. The daytona increases in price 500 euros at a minimum per year with no availability. No other brand can offer such a nice new release with this much heritage at this price point. Reminds of the old Speedmaster for the Italian market, the Mark 2 Snoopy, and the Alaska Project. It's a well-coordinated and masterfully presented mixture of everything. If I am not wrong this will be the talk of the town for next few months. And might even kill the demand for snoopy.
The number of pre order bookings ( to date) for the White Speedy the in Omega boutique , Gurney Plaza, Penang Island,Malaysia is 9 unsurprisingly ( Yeah i also made a booking) The Daniel Craig's Speedy 😅 on the bracelet retails for £7548 . It's cheaper in South East Asia by the way. P/S Any professional or camera enthusiast will tell you the latest hottest overhyped overbooked demand >>> supply camera right now is the Fujifilm X100-VI (mach 6).The White Speedy is just like that
Think I saw it on Pierce Brosnans wrist last week, looks really special but as I purchased the black Speedy Hesalight at the weekend this one will have to wait!
It is better. I would prefer contrasting subdials, but hey ho. If course we've had non black speedies before like for the Tokyo Olympics and I always find it funny that we get to excited when they release a watch that is basically the same but in a different colour.
Kind of funny, advertisement clicks on this video are probably worth a fortune since it's targeted at people that can drop 10 thousand euro on a watch casually on a Tuesday afternoon.
The standard classic black face moonwatch is perfection. The first luxury watch I bought. A white dial looks wrong to me. While I'm on, as much as I like different straps on other watches, I don't like to see the speedy on anything other than the bracelet either. It's like a fine Scotch Whisky. Once you start adding water, too much ice or a splash of coke to it, the purity goes and the recipe is ruined. Bang, controversial I know ;-)
Let’s be honest, it’s just ANOTHER Speedmaster “Moonwatch” with a white dial! What’s with all this the fuss and the hype?! Omega has quite obviously started scraping the bottom of its barrell, while neglecting to design something REALLY new and “exciting”.
Gorgeous watch, but if I’m buying the moon watch in the first place, I’m buying it because the American astronauts wore it on the moon. I want what they wore and I don’t know the history of the moon watch, but I doubt they wore one with a white dial. There are other Omegas I’d buy if I just wanted a white dial.
Currently showing on the UK Omega website as being £7,600 for the White Dial and £6,600 for the Black - that's a £1k difference so don't know where others are seeing it at £100 difference??😮
I'm pretty sure that the white dial has all applied indices as well... not just the omega logo like the black/sapphire? could be wrong my hesalite is applied nothing
Ah yes, you're right! It has applied hour markers!
Yes applied indices. The sandwich has the applied logo but printed indices
By gumbo I think you're right. And it's about time. For a watch that costs what it does, applied indices are a step up that should have been done long ago. Personally, I'd like to see a solid caseback with a corresponding decrease in price.
Would explain +2g
Good catch.
Applied indices may also be a reason for the price increase.
yes, you're right! Looks nice I think :-)
And the weight difference
and the weight. More so than the color
Beautiful. Omega knows how to do a white dial.
Really nice. I've low key wanted a Speedmaster for a while, but none of them excited me enough. This one looks perfect.
What a stunner. I was about to buy the regular black Speedy, but upon seeing this, I'm going to add the white one to my collection instead. Well done, Omega 👏

Great review!! If I could change one thing about the watch, it would be to give it a steel bezel. It would make it more of a strap monster if it was just white & steel as opposed to black, white, and steel.
I think it would be better with a ceramic bezel, just like the 321. I have the Speedmaster 57 with the steel bezel and the scale is not very legible.
Difference in the US is the same(ish) - $8100 MSRP for white dial; $8000 for the black/original speedmaster professional sapphire sandwich.
Great review, this will be my first Omega hopefully. Thanks

Love your TH-cam channel .
The new Speedmaster is stunning, Omega never disappoints! 🌟👌
The white speedy has a variable adjust clasp like some of the gold models (maybe that’s where your additional 2 g comes from). The indices are also applied not painted.
The newer black dial already have the 2 way adjustable clasp.
Love this watch. The dial is beautiful, every aspect.
A 100 Euro price change is negligible. Should not be a deal breaker. This Omega is stunning! I want one!!!!!
Cant wait to see it in the flesh!
The cream-dialled moon phase 1866 with stunning blues applied indices and broad arrow hands, and white gold bezel, has been around (and slept on) for a long while. One of the most gorgeous, and feature-packed, Speedmasters ever.
Fantastic release! Just ordered a traditional black dial moonwatch….but this is a game changer… or even better white and black in collection is the solution
First time in along time that I’m excited about an Omega release… This is a winner for sure.
Got mine yesterday from the Omega Boutique @ Zurich! A beautiful timepiece ❤️
Looks great! As to the weight increase, the applied steel polished black PVD indices could contribute as well.
Here in Singapore it's a SGD$100 price difference as well, which is about USD$74.
It looks great. I think I prefer the black dial the best, but this is very nice.
Lets not forget the applied indices. Thats actually quite a big visual difference and may also contribute to the small weight difference.
In the USA it’s $100 difference. Make sense as the white has applied markers and lacquered dial. I think both changes make the price difference understandable. I am curious how legibility changes at night between the two. I love how easy it is to see my 3861 at night with fully lumed indices
If Omega bring down the size to 38 - 39mm, then they would be soo much more appealing to so many people and their sales will likely rise as well.
don't see them do that since they have a Speedmaster 38 model
@@saphna2095 Imo this white dial in 38mm would have been perfect.
Not everyone has tiny wrists.
It already wears much smaller than 42, more like a 40 or even a 39.
42mm is the classic size. It won't go down in size, unless you get the ladies version.
I'm in the U.S. The black-dial, sapphire-sandwich Speedy is US$8000 MSRP and this new white-dial version is US$8100, so a US$100 difference (the US dollar and Euro are at parity so it's the same here, yes).
In Switzerland the original black with sapphire is CHF 7600, new white is CHF 7700, so 100 difference also.
The black dial version is available at well over US$1000 under retail.
Much prefer it to the black dial which has never done it for me. £7.6K-GBP over £7.5K so £100 more cash than the basic black dial. Think I’ll wait for the hype to die off before taking a closer look but it’s definitely on my radar now. I think it presents good value for money - relatively poor WR at just 50m and just have to get past these bracelets and finishing. Also the daily hand wind could be a chore.
Jenni it’s $8100 compared to black dial of $8000 in U.S. White definitely looks better than black dial Speedmaster.🤔
I went to an Omega Boutique event tonight and got to handle it. The Speedmaster wasn’t previously on my wish list but it is now.
I like it! I just hope it doesn’t end up like the silver snoopy - not technically limited, but still extremely hard to get…
There was a panda version in 2003 for the upmarket Japanese department store Mitsukoshi, 300 pieces only. For the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Collection there was another one, this time 2020 pieces.

Grüezi! 63.9K versus 63K here in Hong Kong 🇭🇰, 900$ HKD price difference, so 106€
I just looked on the Japanese Omega site, where I live. The regular Speedy is ¥1,078,000 and the new white one is ¥176,00 more.... much more than just 100 euros... WTF?! I'm glad I bought my hesalite crystal Moonwatch over a decade ago for a fraction of the price!
That’s nice. And attractive. Bright plus a splash of colour😍
I already registered on my local Omega boutique :) I wish it were automatic though
lol no
Need this for the collection.🎉
the dial and indices colour of a watch does change the weight. For me I would love for it to be automatic.
It is $100 more for the white dial in Canada as well.
I like the white dial more than I thought I would.
Weight difference comes from the applied dial markers
First time in along time that i m excited about an omega release.this is a winnar for sure
It's the same design motifs as the white Seamaster which is pretty smart. Seems like they knew the white Seamaster was a hit so do the same for the Speedy. I'm almost regretting picking up the black speedy.
Very Nice and well timed as Omega is the official timer for the Olympic Games this year in Paris
For me this release is more beautiful than the Daytona. Nice work!
You never miss an opportunity to throw shade at Omega
Zip it, you fairy.
@1:26, open case back, that is chef's kiss right there.
love theis product
Is an all brushed bracelet available?
Don’t like the polished links.
The white dial with the pops of red really make it stand out
Can't wait for a full review.
Its great! About time!
All this girl does is just state the absolute obvious.
Zero new information. Just everything taken from the Omega website.
Love how this looks
In India, it's a difference of about 11,000 INR which about 120 EUR
It was time to release this version. When comes the green and blue Moonwatch?
I like it, but I also like my white Speedmaster Broad Arrow (Ref 3551.20) which was released a few years ago.
Winner! Just enough red. Might be the watch to finally get me off the Tudor/Rolex train - if they make enough.
beautiful
Amazing looking watch - THE STORMTROOPER or maybe SPEEDTROOPER...!

Love it !!!!!😍😍😍
Applied indices are heavy !! 😆
It's a nice watch for Omega standards
The number of pre order bookings ( to date) for the White Speedy the in Omega boutique , Gurney Plaza, Penang Island,Malaysia is 9 unsurprisingly ( Yeah i also made a booking) The Daniel Craig's Speedy 😅 on the bracelet retails for £7548 . It's cheaper in South East Asia by the way.
P/S Any professional or camera enthusiast will tell you the latest hottest overhyped overbooked demand >>> supply camera right now is the Fujifilm X100-VI (mach 6).The White Speedy is just like that
Beautiful and have been wanting for many years
Think I saw it on Pierce Brosnans wrist last week, looks really special but as I purchased the black Speedy Hesalight at the weekend this one will have to wait!
On Brosnan's wrist too? AFAIK Daniel Craig was spotted wearing one last week.
@@AnSe902 you are correct, my mistake, grey cells getting a bit mixed up 😀
Wish they had fully lumed indices. I bet the greater weight is from replacing the lume with metal indices.
In Italy 9100€!!!! 200 more than the black one!!! 😖😖😖
It is better.
I would prefer contrasting subdials, but hey ho.
If course we've had non black speedies before like for the Tokyo Olympics and I always find it funny that we get to excited when they release a watch that is basically the same but in a different colour.
Don’t know why when you spending this much money and it can’t come with ceramic??? Great looking watch. Thanks for the video!
The 2 grams and $100 are coming from applied indicies.
£100 for the White in the UK BUT it is a winner. No doubt will be a tough find.
Kind of funny, advertisement clicks on this video are probably worth a fortune since it's targeted at people that can drop 10 thousand euro on a watch casually on a Tuesday afternoon.
Great overview, Jenni. Thanks for getting this out so quickly!
... It's... Just the same as 60 years ago! Yay!
I really like this design good choice by omega
Amazing 👏
This is a beautiful implementation of a white dial Speedy. Astute of Omega to have Daniel Craig “accidentally” leak this release.
It’s a $200 price difference in Australia between the black and white

in Switzerland :
white --> 7700 CHF
black --> 7600 CHF
👩🏻💼A new version of the Speedmaster!!!!! 😴😴🥱
Wow! Just Wow! Can't wait to put it on my wrist!
Thanks Jenni
Super, I will buy 5 of it.
fall in love with this white dial, hesitating between this one and aqua terra woldtimer....
Gorgeous watch, but if I’m buying the moon watch in the first place, I’m buying it because the American astronauts wore it on the moon. I want what they wore and I don’t know the history of the moon watch, but I doubt they wore one with a white dial. There are other Omegas I’d buy if I just wanted a white dial.
Stunning 😍 one of my Girlfriends has put her name down for this stunning white dail Speedy. ❤
I wish they would bring back the Broad Arrow with Moonphase.
great watch
I want this one!
5 bar? I guess in the moon there is no water
To me, that's a giant leap in the dial quality and makes the watch look like it is appropriate to it's price point.
aaah Annelisa Stiefenplopper is back!
Great video, not so great watch, maybe one day omega will make a speedmaster that lives up to they hype.
Haha
Currently showing on the UK Omega website as being £7,600 for the White Dial and £6,600 for the Black - that's a £1k difference so don't know where others are seeing it at £100 difference??😮
You’re looking at the hesalite version for£6600 I think.
Hadn't appreciated that difference existed, looks like you are correct 👍🏻
