Omega Speedmaster "Orbis" 38mm 2024 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Omega Speedmaster 38mm “Orbis” is a soulful and emotionally driven interpretation of the legendary chronograph, created in partnership with Orbis International—a global non-profit dedicated to fighting preventable blindness. While the Speedmaster is typically defined by its ties to the Moon or the racetrack, this reference carries a humanitarian narrative, blending Omega’s technical mastery with playful, symbolic design elements. The 38mm stainless steel case offers a compact, versatile profile that captures the essence of the Speedmaster while providing a more refined fit for any wrist.

The dial is a masterful exercise in texture and color, featuring a vibrant blue sunray finish that radiates from the center. It is characterized by its unique "oval" sub-dials—a signature of the Speedmaster 38 collection—which are rendered in a lighter blue to provide a soft, "panda-style" contrast. In a delightful nod to the partnership, the central chronograph seconds hand features a blue teddy bear counterweight, a reference to the cuddly companions Orbis gives to the children they treat. This whimsical detail transforms the watch from a serious instrument into a piece with an approachable, compassionate character.

At the heart of the Orbis edition is the Omega Calibre 3330, a self-winding chronograph movement that reflects the brand’s modern mechanical standards. It features a column-wheel mechanism for precise pusher feel and Omega’s signature Co-Axial escapement for reduced friction and enhanced long-term accuracy. Equipped with a non-magnetic silicon balance spring and a 52-hour power reserve, the movement is as robust as it is refined. The caseback serves as a final tribute to the cause, featuring a specially engraved Orbis Teddy Bear logo.

Paired with a polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet, the Speedmaster Orbis balances sportiness with an elegant, jewelry-like quality. Its design is meaningful without being overt, offering a sophisticated aesthetic that supports a life-changing mission. For the collector, this reference stands out as one of the most characterful Speedmasters in the modern catalog—a timepiece that serves as a beautiful reminder of Omega’s commitment to a cause far greater than horology itself.
