The Omega Speedmaster has always been a favorite of watch lovers young and old, and it’s seen increased attention thanks to some record-breaking auction results and to the sheer insanity surrounding the MoonSwatch release.
It’s the first “nice” mechanical watch for many, and for some, it’s the only watch they’ll own. With that in mind, let’s discuss some key points to keep in mind if you’re considering purchasing an Omega Speedmaster. There’s even a slightly controversial one towards the end.

I’ve been collecting watches for over 30 years and there is nothing like a Speedmaster Professional. One of the most iconic wristwatches of all time!

Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 is my holy grail watch, more so than a Daytona

Thanks for the video. I'm the prod owner of a speedmaster professionnal sapphire bought in July 22 and it's amazing how you can't get tired of contemplating the watch all day long. I really love the details of the dial as well as how beautiful is the bracelet. Something true that is mentioned in the video, I have the feeling the bracelet size is not fitting perfectly well my wrist. Indeed, it's either a bit too large, or too small. It looks my wrist size is in between Omega's standards. Anyway, if I want it's possible to buy a nice customized strap (ostrich or alligator). Let's see later ! But in the end, if you are like me and fall in love with the design, go for it!

Gracias!

Always nice to see a video talking about a true classic instead of some overhyped and overpriced models.

Interesting video!

One of the most beautiful watches ever made IMHO.

The Speedmaster Pro and the
Speedmaster 125th (central minute chronograph) are my favorite!

Thanks for sharing!

Just bought mine and can’t wait to get it. Got the moon watch.

Such an iconic and absolutely beautiful watch, regardless of the moon connection (which is admittedly cool) ... It's just perfect.

I bought a speedmaster racing as my first speedmaster primarily because of the 40mm case as well as the 100m water resistance and I absolutely love it.

I have the previous model with the Hesalite crystal. It's part of a three-watch collection that also includes an Aqua Terra and Seamaster, and of the three it's the most instantly recognized. If it was my only watch I might be slightly concerned about scratches but I've had no issues, and when I do get a scratch it's pretty easy to buff out. All in all a great watch, and one I will never sell.

i just got my first OMEGA watch the seamaster300m black dial with black rubber strap sedna gold 2022 edition but i will next yr buy me a speedmaster with both windows front and back view and old school hands. thanx for the video, i think OMEGA offers more than rolex for your money and OMEGA is also increases in value.

I wear my Speedy in almost any situation. I wore mine hiking last week where I enountered heat, dust, rain and hail. It's tougher than it gets credit for.

I purchased one of the last Speedy's with the caliber 1861, then modded it with the Japan Racing Dial and hands. One of my favorite watches. Great video!

[alexandergutierrez]

Speedy was my first luxury watch. My wife gifted it to me when my son was born 😁 I will pass it down to him one day

TL;DR
1. It's an awesome watch, do it!
2. Hesalite > Sapphire sandwich.
3. Leather/Nylon > bracelet.
4. if it is taller than your wrist is wide, get a Speedy Reduced instead.
5. It's an awesome watch, do it!
6. It's the first watch on the moon, do it!

I think the 3861 looks old but isn't, and you can actually see it and get it, unlike a Sub, which is equally timeless and cool too. So a no brainer if you like the retro look, modern movement and it fits smaller than it sounds too. I rotate with a Seamaster and the beauty with Omega and their end links is the watches fit even if you think 42mm is too big, def try them before discarding the idea. 6.75 inch wrist and they fit me fine.

Here's my 2 cents as a Speedy owner: really consider what you're after. Mine is the Hesalite, and I was after authenticity at the time, but since it scuffs easily, I wish I had gone for a sapphire sandwich, because if I had, I would wear it a lot more often.

It's still special, it's just not used enough.

I was on a boat few days ago with friends. And I would never have taken off my Seamaster AT because it could have gotten scratched or even dropped in the water and then going to the ground. I felt much safer with it on the wrist than somewhere on the boat.
But if it wouldn't have been waterproof I would probably have put it to a friend's wrist who stayed on the boat or just worn another watch.

I love my professional with the new bracelet. Works perfectly everyday!😊
