In 2018, Omega took the watch world by storm with its second #SpeedyTuesday release, paying tribute to one of the most cult-followed Speedmasters ever: the “Ultraman”, a 1970s variant known for its rare orange seconds hand featured in the Japanese TV series Return of Ultraman.
This 42mm tribute, based on the classic Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch case, combines faithful design with subtle storytelling: orange accents on the chronograph seconds hand and subdial markers, vintage-style lume, and a hidden Ultraman silhouette revealed under UV light in the 9 o’clock register. Powered by the iconic Caliber 1861, the same movement worn on the moon, this limited edition of 2,012 pieces connects 0mega’s space legacy with pop culture fandom and Instagram-era enthusiasm. A true modern classic for collectors who love a Speedy with a story.
