The early 2000s were a fascinating moment for Omega—a period when the Speedmaster began stretching beyond its tool-watch roots and into something a little more glamorous, a little more playful, and undeniably more fashion-conscious.

This Speedmaster Ref 324.33.38.40.04.001 captures that moment perfectly.

At its core, the watch still carries the unmistakable DNA of the Speedmaster family: compact chronograph proportions, sporty pushers, and the familiar sense of motion built into the 38mm case design. But here, Omega softens the formula with a striking white dial and a cream white bezel that transforms the watch into something entirely different. The dial reads as far more casual and a bit younger than its black dial, more popular alternatives.

Inside beats Omega’s automatic Caliber 3304, a reliable chronograph movement that brings genuine mechanical substance beneath the jewelry-forward exterior.  The self-winding movement features a 48-hour power reserve, a reminder that this is still very much a serious Omega beneath all the glamour.

And then there’s the white alligator leather strap, which gives the entire piece a distinctly 2010s energy—in the best possible way. There’s something wonderfully confident about it. It feels less like a traditional sports watch and more like the kind of watch someone with great personal style simply throws on without overthinking it. 

Part chronograph, part cocktail watch, part Y2K fashion artifact, this very pretty Speedmaster occupies a category entirely its own, because even the Moonwatch family deserves a little glamour now and then.
