This man is not exaggerating. My first luxury watch was a SM300. The bracelet is incredible. I love it. I tried this Speedy300… the bracelet is just out of this world. Imagine noticing the bracelet and it making an impression, above and beyond the stunning watch itself. The bracelet is a marvel. Rolex Oyster is sooooooo overrated. I can’t speak for the jubilee, but my goodness the Speedmaster bracelet is something else.

I agree that there are way too many variations of the Speedy and it gets very hard to decide on the best one for you personally. We all know the history of the original 'Moonwatch', but like you I'd go for the sapphire crystal with open case back version on the latest bracelet. I love the original, but most folk may prefer the modern specs and the protection of a sapphire crystal in day-to-day use.

Hi Andy, thank you for watching! I agree, and I thought the same, but the 'Moonwatch purists' are all for their heselite and closed caseback! :) I just wish Omega pulled a JLC and, as they did with the Reverso, clean up the variations lineup and come back to a more thoughtful and condensed collection :)

I guess because watch WR ratings have been a joke for a long time. Omega might one of the few where if they state 5bar, it’s actually 5bar! At least for their latest movements.

Nice video! I also love the look and the story of the moonwatch, but one thing that stops me to buy is the 50m waterproof -- is it okay if i wear it in a rainy day without an umbrella, or get it a little bit wet because of washing hands, or that kind of "daily water circumstances"? Since I want to buy a watch as a gift for graduation, I hope it can be on my wrist everyday. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the nice visuals of the watch! Agree that Omega would gain in consolidating the collection. But many great versions (Snoopy, 321, ...) are hard to get - unless you buy on the grey market - so the breadth of the collection is a bit artificial. What website did you use to see the whole speedmaster catalog (6:44)?
@ThatEm
Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! For the image, I literally googled Speedmaster catalog and it came out :) I agree that some of the versions are harder to get, but that is part of the point of a luxury good - so they should be. For people who have all the money in the world, the way you can get them to 'enjoy' a purchase is the chase. If it were me, I'd have a "Moonwatch" collection with 321 movement(I'd use the movement more and leave the moon watch as the actual hard to get one, also please remove the cheesy moon landing references from the back of those), a "Speedmaster" line with the 3861s (keep the cheesy embossings on the back so people wish they had the 321 ones instead) and one or two of their bicompax, and a "Limited" series with yearly release of limited stuff like the Snoopys. I just think it lacks focus as of right now. Omega could push the Moonwatch to Daytona levels of hype, but for some reason choose not to. You can't get a normal Daytona, go figure if you also wanted some specific special edition. You shouldn't be able to get a 321 Moonwatch. But if every Speedmaster is called a Moonwatch, then very few people care if yours is a 321 or 861 :P

@@ThatEm Yes - agree. They may just have a more commercial approach. Omega CEO's "official" stance is to make his watches accessible to as many people as possible. I must say I really enjoyed walking in and out the boutique with my Speedmaster on. Impossible to do with any Rolex model. The risk for Omega is to get the market saturated. We'll see how it plays out. Great watch anyway. I went for the Hesalite version because I wanted a model as close to the original one as I could. The two other interesting models were the Ed White for the 321 movement and the 1957 trilogy for the look but those two are...hard to get if you don't spend quite some money on low resale value models first. Keep up the good work with the videos!

@@thesilverwebsurfer I agree and was equally as pleased walking out of the boutique with this myself! However, I wouldn't have minded knowing that the 'real prize' is considered the 321 etc...etc..I love the 57 trilogy set, I just wish they pimped them out in terms of movements a bit more. I loved the feeling of the Hesalite version as the closed back has just got that bit more heft to it - but I'm too vain on my watches not to go for the sapphire :P

I’m eventually going to buy a speed master, I’m more of a big thick dive chronograph guy but I do want an omega. Just can’t decide which one I want. Probably a 321 because I really want a column wheel chronograph as I don’t currently have one. Being a aerospace enthusiast and a mechanical engineer I feel I should definitely own a speed master.

Hey man, great video. I am in a predicament. I want to add this exact watch, but i also feel like the omega speedmaster pro Sapphire sandwhich is also nice and fits well in my collection. I have a GS SBGM221 GMT, Doxa Sub300T Divingstar, Stowa marine originale, Tissot Le Locle, Seiko Turtle save the ocean, Seiko Captain Willard, Tissot le locle, a Swatch big bold jelly. I am confused on what i should add, the speedmaster pro or the JLC reverso duoface classic large. I like them both, i feel the speedy wears amazingly well on wrist, but also love the JLC and the fact it is haute horology. What do you think fits my collection? I am in a predicament haha. Amazing videos man, honestly great content.
@ThatEm
Жыл бұрын
Oh this is odd, I swore I replied to you already!! Perhaps YT bugged out. So in short I think the JLC would suit you best, IF, and it's a big IF, you like your sporty watches more on the dressier side (which is what the JLC is). Also JLC will give you better looks and chats with watch-nerds. The Speedy sapphire is always a fantastic choice but given you already own a few pure sport/divers, I think the Reverso will give you better breadth of collection! Anyhow, either is awesome and let me know which one you end up getting!
