With Baselworld 2017 here,?Omega is releasing fourteen new 38mm Speedmaster watches. Some refer to the automatic Omega Speedmasters that come in this size as reduced, and the brand is noting that these Omega Speedmaster 38mm models will be both mens and womens watches. Sized the same, materials and color choices will separate the mens and womens pieces.Immediately noticeable?are that the sub-dials and date window at 6?oclock have?a distinctive oval shape to them, which gives the dial a sense of depth and detail. According to Omega, the inspiration behind these oval-shaped sub-dials comes from some previously released Omega De Ville watches. The crescent shapes flanking the round subdials are also reminiscent of Omegas Greek |? logo.?Right now, Omega has provided information and images of just four of the watches that they say are representative of the range overall, so lets see what?weve got. The dials on all these new watches are reminiscent of those on previously released Omega Speedmaster watches such as the?green-bezeled moon phase Speedmaster introduced last year?but obviously more affordable and smaller.?The reference 324.23.38.50.02.001 or, simply put, the Green-bezel version, has an opaline-silver dial, and is complemented by the 18k yellow gold hands and applied hour indices. On this version of the?watch,?the outer bezel ring has been done in 18k yellow gold, matching the?chrono?pushers and the crown at 3, whereas the tachymeter ring has been done in a deep forest green which is well matched by the green leather strap and the varnished green chronograph hands. The forest green and the gold accents also combine to give this version a dressy aesthetic, which is appropriate given the 38mm case size of this watch. Its weird but I think I like it.The reference 324.30.38.50.03.001 Omega Speedmaster 38mm is very cool with a light blue dial and seems to be the sportiest model weve seen here. This version is devoid of any precious?metal?and features a sunray-brushed, ice-blue dial. The dial is well accompanied by the dark blue?aluminum?bezel,?and similarly colored?subdial?and chronograph hands. This is the only one out of the four watches shown here that comes on a (polished and brushed) stainless steel bracelet.The reference 324.38.38.50.55.001 Omega Speedmaster 38mm, or the Cappucino, has a dual color dial with the light brown shade occupying most of the real estate, and the sub dials being done in a nicely contrasting dark brown shade. But what makes this version stand out is the bezel, which is studded with diamonds on the outer ring, giving the watch a luxurious feel. The tachymeter scale on this one has been done in a nice shade of brown, matching the taupe brown leather strap. I think its obvious this would be seen as a ladies model. The?Omega Speedmaster 38mm reference?324.28.38.50.02.002 is another ladies piece featuring the diamond studded bezel ring with the tachymeter scale done in white matching the white leather strap. The mother-of-pearl dial looks like the right choice here as it complements the pink-colored chronograph hands and the pink stitching on the strap really well. Even?the subdials?on this version have been studded with diamonds.The watches are powered by Omegas Calibre 3330 which isnt one of their latest METAS certified movements, and thats kind of a letdown, for sure. The movement operates at 28,800vph and has a 54-hour power reserve which is?pretty good but, honestly, at this price point, I would expect a newer movement.Retail prices for these Omega Speedmaster 38mm watches, in order of least to most expensive are as follows: reference 324.30.38.50.03.001 (Blue dial and bracelet) will be priced at CHF 4,500; reference 324.23.38.50.02.001 (Green bezel and Sedna gold) will be priced at CHF 5,700; the reference 324.38.38.50.55.001 (Cappuccino) will have a price of CHF 8,400; and finally, the reference 324.28.38.50.02.002 (MOP) will retail for CHF 8,600. omegawatches.com [...]
