What is the true identity of the white-dial Speedmaster that isn't listed in the catalog?

 Omega ambassador Daniel Craig appeared at the Planet Omega exhibition in New York, USA, wearing a Speedmaster with a white dial that was not featured in the catalog, and the identity of this model has become a hot topic.

 Omega hasn't commented on this, but it's likely a new model to be released in early 2024. However, after putting this Speedmaster on Daniel Craig's wrist in the opening credits of "Planet Omega," the folks at Omega must have fully anticipated the buzz that would ensue about what the watch might be.

 In fact, among the many official photos of Daniel Craig released, Omega enthusiasts couldn't help but notice a never-before-seen model: Daniel Craig, dressed in a midnight blue tailored suit, wearing a never-before-seen Speedmaster with a white dial.

 A similar model is the Speedmaster Moonwatch Master Chronometer in 18K Canopus Gold™, but this model's dial is silver instead of white. It's not the Speedmaster Professional Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which has a white dial but black subdials, nor is it the Speedmaster Alaska Project, which has a white dial but large rocket-shaped hands. It's certainly not the Moonswatch.

 Ultimately, "investigators" believe it will indeed be a new model due for release in early 2024, likely in stainless steel, with a look reminiscent of the "Albino" Speedmaster released for the Italian market in 1997.

 What has been confirmed is that the dial will be white with black Super-LumiNova indexes and hands, with only the "Speedmaster" inscription in red. The 42mm case and bracelet are likely to be the same as the existing Speedmaster.

 Speaking of Omega, the creator of the Moonwatch, we also want to draw attention to Artemis II, the second installment of NASA's Artemis program, which aims to land humans on the moon again.

 NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) have also announced the four astronauts who will fly the Orion spacecraft around the moon in 2024: Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Jeremy Hansen.

 These four astronauts are aiming to be the first to land on the moon since the Apollo missions in 1972. What watches will they be wearing on their wrists? We'll have to wait and see.
