Omega’s new Speedmaster Pilot follows in the footsteps of iconic military watches, offering a civilian version of the “Flight Qualified” Speedy previously only available to US Military pilots.
The model closely mirrors the military edition, with vibrant colors and a classic Omega caseback. The civilian version retains the same striking design but swaps the engraved military insignia for the recognizable hippocampus logo.
Aesthetically, the watch is a nod to Omega’s vintage chronographs, particularly the Flightmaster from the 1970s, with its colorful dial and bi-color subdials. It also references the Speedmaster Mk40 “Ben Clymer,” adding an extra layer of nostalgia for collectors.
With a 40.85mm case, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance, the Speedmaster Pilot is ideal for everyday wear.
Powered by the Omega Cal. 9900 movement, it offers a 60-hour power reserve and features a chronograph layout inspired by airplane cockpits.
The matte-black dial ensures high visibility, even in direct sunlight, while the Super-LumiNova hands and indices shine brightly in the dark.
Priced at $9,500, the Speedmaster Pilot is more than just a stylish timepiece; it’s a collectible with a rich backstory.
For those looking for a blend of modern functionality and vintage appeal, Omega has delivered a standout release to close out 2024.
