Ferry lights and elegant clothes call for special timepieces during the winter holidays. Omega's exclusive 18K Sedna Gold makes for beautiful watches that match the magical spirit of Christmas. Time to have a look at two Omega models made with this exclusive material.

Omega Speedmaster

Named after Sedna, an orbiting planetoid that has been described as one of the reddest in the solar system, Sedna Gold by Omega not only bears all the standard characteristics of other 18K golds, but it also offers high resistance to the fading of colour and lustre over time. Its unique composition includes copper and palladium for colour and stability.

The Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of the world’s most iconic timepieces - and it is also available in a Sedna Gold variation. Having been a part of all six moon landings, the legendary chronograph is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit.

Presented on a five-arched-links-per-row bracelet, this 42 mm Moonwatch features sapphire crystal glass on the front as well as on the caseback. Inspired by the 4th generation Speedmaster style worn on the moon, it also includes an asymmetrical case, black step dial and the famous dot over 90 on the anodised aluminium bezel ring. We love how the Sedna Gold turns this iconic sports watch into a very elegant timepiece.

Omega De Ville Trésor

Characterised by its thin and elegant case, the Trésor line was first launched by Omega in 1949 and housed the legendary 30mm calibre. More than half a century later, it continues to impress with one of today’s most advanced mechanical movements.

The models featuring a polished 40 mm 18K Sedna Gold case are particularly elegant and classy in our opinion.

One option is this model with a domed blue dial and a blue leather strap. Its dial includes a Small Seconds display, along with hands and domed indexes in 18K Sedna Gold.

A bolder option is certainly this Omega De Ville Trésor featuring a burgundy dial and leather strap. It is certainly an eye-catcher and makes a great impression at Christmas gatherings or elegant evenings spent at the opera. Our tip would be to wear it with a dark green suit or tuxedo!

Omega's famous Speedmaster '57, first introduced in 2013, returns this year with a Master Chronometer upgrade and a slimmer profile. The new 40.5 mm collection consists of eight stainless steel models, all offering a streamlined look with iconic heritage touches and bold new colours. Let's have a closer look!

Hands-on with the Speedmaster '57

With its unique Broad Arrow hands and tachymeter scale on the bezel, the Speedmaster ’57 is emblematic of the first, revolutionary Speedmaster that was launched in 1957. For the latest update, Omega has lifted the vintage spirit to another level, with slimmer styling, extraordinary colour, and a Co-Axial Master Chronometer engine that takes precision to the next gear.

This enduring watch is the perfect front seat companion for us, when driving a classic car. We love how it represents the original, timeless look of the Speedmaster (Speedy) line. It features a stainless-steel case and a black dial with recessed hour markers showing vintage Super-LumiNova from beneath. The beautifully brushed bezel includes a blackened tachymeter scale, while on the caseback, there is a “Speedmaster ‘57” engraving as well as a flat sapphire crystal.

A Day on the Wrist

We start the day at Omega's headquarters in Biel/Bienne. Here we pick up the beautiful Speedmaster '57 "Steel on Steel" version reference 332.10.41.51.01.001 and head to our favorite café in town. It is inspired by the iconic cafés in Paris and let's us dive into that classy 1950s era.

After this first pit stop we continue our journey through the beautiful Jura region. As we drive through colorful forests, we keep on glancing on the beautiful black dial of the Speedy with indicators matching the color of the autumnal leaves. The perfect combination!

Overall, the Omega Speedmaster '57 is a wonderful timepiece with a contemporary size of 40.5 mm and a design that pays tribute to the first Speedy. The updated movement and the added date complication both make this watch the ideal timepiece for everyday wear. Especially for those who appreciate the history of space exploration and have a flair for the aesthetics of the 1950s and 60s.

Another fun aspect of the collection is, that the heritage models come in four different colours. People can also choose between a wonderfully finished flat link bracelet and leather straps that come in matching colours. Ideally, you go for both!
