From the 007 First Light Seamaster to the Speedmaster Moonwatch, it's been a big year for the Swiss horology giant.

Omega has been rather busy in 2026. Eight months in, and the Swiss watchmaker has already given us Olympics-ready Seamasters, a Moonwatch dressed head to toe in gold, a brand-new Constellation, and, because apparently regular gold wasn’t enough, a MoonSwatch made using melted-down Omega parts from 1969. Here are five of our favorites of the year so far.
The Moonwatch has never exactly struggled for attention, but making its 42mm case and bracelet from Omega’s 18K Moonshine Gold certainly helps. The black lacquered dial is broken up by three white sub-dials, while inside you still get the hand-wound Master Chronometer calibre 3861. Essentially, it’s the familiar Moonwatch, only considerably less subtle.
Omega has been timing the Olympics since 1932, so naturally the Milano Cortina Winter Games got a watch of their own. This 43.5mm Seamaster is suitably wintry, pairing a white-ceramic-and-Grade-5-titanium case with an almost entirely white dial, bezel, and rubber strap—plus a little icy blue on the seconds hand. Après-ski attire sorted.
James Bond’s latest Omega made its debut somewhere slightly unusual: inside the 007 First Light video game. The 44mm steel Seamaster is the first chronograph in Bond’s Diver 300M history, with a black wave-pattern ceramic dial, bronze-gold accents, and a striped NATO strap. Sadly, the real one doesn’t come with the game version’s laser-equipped strap. Probably for the best.
For something a little more grown-up, there’s the new Constellation Observatory. Its 39.4mm O-Megasteel case, black ceramic “pie-pan” dial, dog-leg lugs, and dauphine hands are a handsome nod to vintage Constellations—but the clever bit is inside. The Calibre 8914 movement makes this watch a part of the first two-hand collection ever to achieve Master Chronometer certification.
Yes, technically it says Swatch on the dial too, but we’re letting it in. Limited to 1,969 pieces, the $570 Mission to the Moon 1969 uses 11 grams of Omega’s 18K Moonshine Gold across its dial, hands, crown, and pushers, with the gold itself made by melting down genuine Omega spare parts dating from 1969. A MoonSwatch with actual 1969 Omega in it? Who’d want to miss that?
