A fantastic review of my favourite watch. One very small point during the video. Neil did not wear his Speedy on the surface of the moon. He left it in the lunar module because there was a problem with one of the computers and they needed a back up timer. Buzz certainly wore his though and he features in most of the famous moon photos, including wearing his Speedy. I bet Omega were a little bit disappointed.

Nicely done overview, gentlemen. The reason that the 42 mm case diameter is deceiving to some is that the asymmetric case acts as a guard for the pushers and crown. For all intents, it is and wears like a 40 mm watch. A couple of additional items I would add. 1. The Lemania movement doesn't hack. Some would find this surprising in a watch selected by NASA for exacting spaceflight operations, but in reality these watches were used more for their stopwatch functions more than keeping accurate time. For that, the astronauts used the on-board clocks made by Bulova or their own personal Rolex and Breitling watches, which some of them wore on the opposite wrist during the missions. You can apply back-pressure on the crown to stop the movement as a pseudo-hack a la SKX, and it's even mentioned in the user manual as an appropriate method for setting time more precisely. 2. The Speedmaster Professional is sold as a luxury watch, but it lags between the competition in features because the Professional version remains true to its 1950s automotive racing roots. It has an acrylic crystal, the movement is hand-wind only, and the dial remains a printed one rather than having applied indices made of white gold or platinum. Omega does make more luxurious versions of the Speedmaster at much higher prices. 3. The crown is undersized and I find that it hurts my fingers to wind it to full strength. It's not overwhelmingly difficult, but certainly comes as a surprise too many the first time they try it. Great design is great design, and even if the watch were never associated with the manned space programs of the US and Russia, I believe it would still be in production in some form. The pure black and white colour scheme makes this watch and absolute Strap Monster. It looks great on everything!
@SinnerAndSaint
5 жыл бұрын
Great additions! Absolutely true. Especially the "hard to wind" topic. I wonder why this is mentioned so seldom. I own(ed) quite a few mechanical watches over the time (30+) and the Speedy Pro is still one of the hardest ones to wind. And I have pretty small hands / fingers that should make winding easier. Nevertheless, the Speedy is one of my all time favorites and I can really recommend it to any watch lover out there.

No Rolex or Breitling were more accurate than the omega chronos in the 60s, prior to Apollo missions all watches were pretty much what astronauts own on their own, Wally SChirra had a speedy orbiting earth in 1964 (not NASA provided). The speedy is prof that some things are done well the first time, like you said “a good design is a good design’’ it is truly timeless!

I have the Speedmaster version with the sapphire crystal. It is a bit heavier built than the one shown in this video. The one that I have is with the 861a hand wound movement. Excellent! I bought it in 1974. I originally bought the watch to use for navigation. I was flying aircraft, and often in Northern Canada. Every four to five years I get it maintained by the Omega service rep for my area. I found it keeps about +-2 to +-5 seconds per day depending on how active I am and etc. The version I have is with the metal bracelet.

It needs a new pusher and a link for the strap. Both apparently dropped off.

For sport watches, hacking does make more scene, more so a chronograph. It's nice to see the chrono sec hand runs in sync with the sub sec hand for precision. Also, lateral clutch has more wear and tear, and, need to mentioned that the chrono function should not run continuously. In price comparison, the seiko 8R48 has a column wheel vertical clutch, and, the unique 3 pointed hammer and heart-shaped cam ensures the perfect synchronization of the hands flyback function at pin-point. My srq031 which cost less than 3k has Zaratsu finishing, and, it's accurate to 3 spd. The 2mm protruding glass, interestingly, makes the watch looks compact. The fine soft cordovan straps wears so comfortable. I like this better than my daytona. Just stunning 😁

The bracelet might be slightly updated and the box and stiff you get with it is different but the watch is the same as far as I know. It's a great watch, I have sold over 40 watches in the last 2-3 years but the speedy was one o one would be staying. It works with so many straps making it incredibly versatile and I use the chronograph hand as date indicator (I wind it each morning and move the chronograph hand on 1 second to correlate with the minute/second for whatever the date is. It has an added bonus of stopping the omega logo at 12 from being obscured for most of the watch.)

I'm in the market now for another watch and while I'm considering some Rolex OPs, I might just walk out with another Speedy Pro and call it a day. I'm done flipping watches and now acquiring pieces to pass down to my kids someday, I think the Speedy Pro would fit the bill perfectly.

@@AZAHAZA Kid, how old are you ,18? You can't find a used Speedmaster Pro for under $4000. 00 in America or Chrono 24 with a medal bracelet unless it's a real dog. A reduced can be had for less, not the moon watch. I bought my 1st Rolex in 1985 , a 69 Sub , used in mint condition, $ 800.00. Bought a Rolex GMT in 2005 , new, $3700.00 . Following year bought a new Sub $4000.00, new. I have been owning high end watch since before you were born. You can't buy a new Omega Speedmaster Professional for $ 3800.00 in American. You can get a new one on the gray market new for about $4200.00 and they are getting a lot harder to find.

How do you pronounce Megawatt , Megabits? Well Omega, Ωμέγα , means large O , Omega , small o , omicron όμικρον . I’m Greek , I should know! Now you know. When I went to my AD to buy my speedy Pro, the first thing the gentleman asked me was how to pronounce it since it’s my language. Btw a great watch!
