From a striking new Moonwatch to Olympic-inspired Seamasters, these are the releases worth catching up on.
Omega has spent the first half of 2026 doing what it does better than almost any other Swiss watchmaker: turning moments into milestones.
Some came through new watches, like the snowy-white Milano Cortina series and the stealthy and very surprising 007 First Light Seamaster.
Others have played out on the world stage through existing models, with the Speedmaster family once again taking part in humanity’s return to deep space aboard NASA’s Artemis II mission – though it wasn’t the watch you’d expect, and Omega ambassador Rory McIlroy celebrated another Masters victory wearing one of the brand’s most spectacular watches.
Best of all the releases this year so far, though, may have been two new updates to the iconic Speedmaster professional line, including the launch of a long-awaited black-and-white Speedmaster Moonwatch. And while no MoonSwatch is a proper Omega release, the latest version felt like it merited a shout-out, given that it actually features Omega’s own proprietary Moonshine gold.
We’ll continue updating this running report card as more watches—and memorable moments—arrive in the months ahead.
