Another killer introduction from Omega at BaselWorld 2014: the Omega Speedmaster Professional X33 Skywalker ref. 318.90.45.79.01.001.

For this third generation of the X33, Omega returned to the roots that it abandoned when the Z-33 was introduced – the Seamaster inspired round case, a turning bezel and overall very toolish looks. In fact, the case looks just like the Gen 2!

Cool fact – the new Speedmaster Skywalker X33 is tested and certified by ESA and was developed according to a patent filed by astronaut Jean-Francois Clervoy. The case, in grade 2 titanium, measures 45mm. The bezel inlay is ceramic.

The titanium case works wonderful with the matte grey dial. The tone-on-tone print gives this Speedmaster a very unique look. The Sedna gold bezel ring and details on the dial add a touch of warmth to a otherwise monochrome design. The overall design is very well-balanced. While staying true to the classic looks of the Speedmaster Professional, the Apollo 11 45th Anniversary has an avant-garde touch. The bezel inlay on this Speedy is ceramic by the way.
