I own a 1959 OMEGA Seamaster. It belonged to my grandfather. Its automatic movement still keeps perfect time. It also reminds me that a 33mm watch can still be stylish. Also, another great review, Dylan.

Another killer video Dylan, and a surprising one. I'm used to your Rolex/AP/Hublot/precious metal reviews, so the SpeedyPro vid was a curve ball. And of course I know the history of the watch, but you still taught me some stuff that I didn't know so thanks. I have the 3572 hesalite front, sapphire back model and it'll stay in the collection forever. Looking forward to more vids!

I've worn my SM 300 chronometer for 20 yrs. My affinity for Omega is as strong as the day I bought that watch. I think the Speedmaster here is my next 20 yr everyday watch. It's understated but still a stunner. A class choice that says you know watches and aren't using your watch to impress others. Only yourself. Love the brawny bracelet but would definitely do some time on a perf racing strap. Hesalite for sure. Nice video friend.

Absolutely the best Speedmaster Moonwatch review on KZitem. I was thinking of adding this watch to my collection and your review convinced me to go for it. Actually I find the bracelet just as comfortable as my two steel Rolex watches, and I prefer the secure feel of a bracelet. Thanks again, you really know your subject.

@@savamac The Speedy Pro is one of the most versatile watches when it comes to bracelet and strap combos, it even looks at home on a Nato. The original commenter isn't alone in thinking this ... The Speedy Pro looks outstanding on a brown leather strap. Given that it's 50m WR and no screw down crown, most wouldn't be comfortable taking this in a pool so putting it on leather is fine. I've owned 2 Speedy Pros and never took them into the water.

I've got a Speedmaster Moon Watch. It's seen less use since I got my Rolex last summer, but I wore it every day for just shy of ten years. I have both a brown and a black leather strap for it, both of which compliment its colours amazingly well. Particularly the rich brown, I think, which really lets the bezel pop. The white stitching on my black leather strap works great too, but brown wins out.

Getting originals separately is often way more expensive. Anyway, I'm sure it will work itself out. Thanks again for the great review

Not agreeing with the thoughts of the hesalite, yes I like the vintage ish feeling but prefer scratch resistant Saphire. The watch itself patinas well also with Saphire, as a Rolex 14060M does, too. Have couple of straps for it but, as you, prefer wearing it on the steel bracelet.

Its lightweight, understated and just feels right.

A fine review of the Omega Speedmaster. It's a nice watch but I am having a difficult time choosing between this and several of Rolex's offerings. The first time I had the chance to see both Omega and Rolex up close and personal, I was surprised at the elegance of a Rolex wristwatch compared to the Omega. Rolex is the nicer watch. Yet, when I watch reviews of the Omega Moon Watch such as that presented here, I hesitate and am drawn to Omega.

I think (being sensible) it depends if it’s is your first or only nice watch. If so, I’d go Rolex. I got a speedy pro last week and love it but I’ve owned rolexes for decades and now gravitate to Seikos and watches with more character like the speedy. A Rolex is solid, reliable and stylish. They hold their money well so you will always be able to get a good price if you don’t fall for it and want the omega at a later date. A speedy as a first luxury watch could be underwhelming for some, as I say- I love mine but I also own a grand Seiko springdrive so I have that sapphire crystal, accurate finely finished watch as well. The plastic “crystal” and possible lack of accuracy along with the overall vintage feel could be exactly what you want or it could be a let down. Rolexes are pretty much perfect and the only downside is unless you’re a watch geek (like me) there’s no need to buy anything else 😁 You can’t go wrong with with either but a Rolex is closer to perfect 👍🏽

Dave Savage I wanted to hark back to its car racing heritage days with a leather rally strap. Plus, it saved me a trip to a watch maker to size the bracelet. It has screwed links, but the screws are in tight. So tight I want a watch maker to remove them with a perfectly sized screw driver to prevent damaging the screw head slots. Check out its review on my KZitem channel: Mountain Standard Time. You’ll get a close up of the leather strap I used.

It was Hamilton, NASA sent invitations to 10 brands, but only Omega, Rolex, Longines and Hamilton responded. They responded by a pocket watch... 🙄 All three brands that competed against each other did not pass the requirement from NASA. Omega was 21 minutes fast in the low pressure test, 15 minutes slow for the acceleration test and the lume on the hands faded from the series of testings. But Omega was the best out of the three, Rolex stoped working and the crystal of Longines shattered. So Omega was the best performer.

It depends on how often you get it "tuned up". My early model .861 from October 1968 was "tuned up" twice since it was given to me as a BD gift in July 1969, a few days after Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. It was built before the first Lunar landing. My Speedmaster today is 50 years old and looks brand new. But it is off a few seconds per week. I'm not going to spend any more money to "tune " it up anymore, but I still wear it. I love my pre-lunar Speedmaster.

Its a charming story but most of it is not actually true. NASA actually wrote to several watch brands to acquire watches that met their prerequisites to go into testing.
