I had to wait 53 years! After watching Neil Armstrong step out on the moon as a 5 year old, I became obsessed with my uncle's Speedmaster. I even entered a local radio station's "Wishing Well" competition. My name was called out and my father took me in to pick from the wishing well... and I won some soap. Throughout the years the Speedmaster appeared regularly on my Christmas list. 50 years after first wanting one, the mortgage was paid off, the kids had grown up and left home, and I was tired of studying for a PhD. I wanted to withdraw, but told myself if I got it done, I could buy myself one. And that is what I did! On the way in to pick up the Speedmaster, I realised the date was the 20th of July! A 3861 sapphir sandwich. I love the accuracy, I love the hacking, I love looking at the movement. But most of all I love looking at it and being reminded that a 5 year old boy was lucky enough to grow up to adulthood, get an education, raise a family, buy a home and eventually get the watch he wanted so much. How lucky am I!

Was a space nerd as kid in the 80s and 90s. Bought it for myself when I passed the bar exam and became a lawyer. A major milestone in my life and the first expensive watch I ever had. As a son of immigrant parents I was the first in my family to go to university and become a lawyer so my folks were so immensely proud and happy. It always brings a smile to my face whenever I wind the watch. I got married last year and my wife bought me a Cartier Tank as a wedding present. Another major milestone. Hopefully my wife and I will have our first child soon and I will have another major milestone in my life and perhaps the final watch in my perfect 3 watch collection 😊

Being a fan of NASA and the space program since I was a little kid in the 80’s, living in central Florida for 27 years and witnessing many launches, loving watches since I was a kid when I just had a cheap, plastic, digital Casio, and also being a very avid distance runner who loves going fast, it was my goal to get a Speedmaster Moon Watch in sapphire for 24 years. But deliberately to mark a specific moment; qualifying for the Boston Marathon with a time at another marathon that met their standards. This past October, after 24 years trying, 65 marathons over that time, a million personal struggles, and training every calendar day since September 4th, 2001, I finally achieved this. I didn’t even have a job at the time, and still don’t unfortunately, but that didn’t stop me from going to the Omega boutique on Michigan Avenue, taking on some debt, and finally symbolically getting my Speedmaster. I’ll keep it for the rest of my life, and it will always have special meaning and symbolism for me.

I bought my Speedmaster Professional in 1992 and pay for it U$S 1500 (another world). I used it as a daily watch until 2004 when I bought an Omega Planet Ocean (the one hoy use Bond in Skyfall). Having my second Omega and taking advantage of a friend's favor, I had it fully serviced in Switzerland to give it a second life in 2008. It is now as good as new (or better yet, more accurate), I still use it despite the Hesalite crystal that scratches so easily and I can't help but say that I understand why it was chosen for the trip to the moon. It is extraordinary, of timeless beauty and despite not being the most accurate, an extraordinary travel and adventure companion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

So glad you got one finally! Congratulations! It takes a true enthusiast to ignore the meta hate/hype nonsense and make your own mind up. And it is a great, no question. Casual, smart, tool, timeless, legibility personified... Re your discussion about yours vs the 3861, I can add a couple of things (I have both). You watch is more legible (blacker, whiter, flatter) and while the new one has a more beautiful dial, it looses some 'truth' and feels slightly like a resto-mod. Also, the lugs on your watch are longer and they look far more elegant and sculptural. The 3861 winds better and keeps better time. Into the future I can see a few points of interest 1) Speedy Pros are slowly disappearing from boutiques (artificial scarcity) 2) the white dial shows the direction of the sapphire sandwich - it will move more premium and gain applied markers and a lacquered dial 3) the price will rise 4) the hesalite will disappear from standard production. I recommend that anyone with a current Speedy keeps hold of it - the days of affordable Speedies are ending!

I bought my 1967 321 in 2019. Long wait for about 10 years too ... but this old 321 is my grail because I was born in the 1960s and because the Apollo moon landings - which I witnessed on TV as a kid - were the most awesome events in my childhood and will probably be the most important ones in my life. In my case, having the piece from then, a very 1960s 321, is feeling that era on my wrist, and all the memories. Would not work with a 2024 Speedy. No other watch has this meaning to me. It is sacred. It will one day go to my nephew who loves space and astronomy.

I purchased this watch in 1997 for $1,000 USD. The starting salary for a college graduate in NYC was about $35K. So you could buy a speedmaster for about 1.5 weeks pay. a Rolex Submariner was about $4,500 or 6 weeks pay (or $3k used). The Daytona was a $10k watch new and that price stuck for years. today the average starting salary in NYC is $52k. So that Omega Speedmaster will cost you 7 weeks pay. so 4.5x more expensive for essentially the same watch. The new Rolex 41 Submariner is allegedly $10k retail but grey market $13k.

However, you are right the Speedmaster is an iconic design and so much better than the Daytona which let's face it was a very unpopular watch at the time Speedmasters were being used on the moon 🤔

The video is super nice as usual!! Such a beautiful watch! Still, I would never buy it due to its connection to space. At the end of the day, it is a racing chrono (it was born for that) and not a pilot/aviation watch. That's why I've bought a stanning Speedmaster Racing 40mm reverse panda. No hype around it, a fair price with no speculation, a tru racing tool, an incredible movement, and 100mt water resistance. The moonwatch remains a beautiful piece, though. Enjoy it 😉

The Speedmaster case is one of the best designs in the watch industry ever. I think the current "sapphire sandwich" is the best variant as it elevates the watch and makes it feel modern. The new FOIS is an alternative version for folks who want more of a vintage feel, similar to Seamaster 300 v. 300 Professional. Price wise it's fair compared to competition. So overall, it's a strong watch regardless of the hype.

I know, I get caught up in the brands myself but 10k is a lot for a watch. I pd 4k for a new Tudor Panda full set. I like the Speedy & would love to have a Daytona but what really separates the three is splitting hairs for the money.

I love my Pagani Design Speedy, I prefer quartz, and if mechanical I’d rather have an Automatic than a a Manual. I wish, I love the Speedmaster design but I can’t get over a manually wound watch. Maybe a Bulova Lunar Pilot 43mm. And congratulations, maybe we can get a Pagani Design comparison review?

Hello mate! I have Speedy 1861 now, but in last time I'm thinking about that I'm tired of hype watches and especially omega brand, because of endless limited editions etc. What do you think about switching Speedy on Hanhart? On paper 417es gives much more: flyback, anti-magnetic, shock resistant, lume, best size, column wheel chronograph, on the other hand it is Speedy with space marketing. So, is it a good idea or this watches are different level? I never tried Hanhart and don't know how does it wears, how solid is it. Thanks!

Congrats to the .005. Exactly the model I own as well and would go for any time. The 1861 movement is tough as nails and proven by the test of time. My Speedy runs with +1.5s/d and has more than enough magnetic resistance due to the soft iron cage. So for me it's hard to see the benevits of the new one with its delicate co-ax escapement. For sure better and more beautiful is the new bracelet. It costs around 600€ and fits to the old case. So why not buy one later and have the best of both worlds for under 4k€? Is the new Moonwatch worth 9000€? Is a Submariner with its standard three-hand-movement worth 9k? I think both are not.

i really enjoy your videos. but i personally would prefer, that you don't use that terrible autotranslate by youtube. It does translate your titles to crap and i don't even want to start talking about the audio itself. Of course i can switch back to the original audio track but it ruins the experience, at least for me. Just my personal view on this "feauture" :D

In another video he explained that KZbin does that. He doesn’t upload his videos with auto translation. Perhaps it’s a regional problem, as I don’t have this issue. 🤷‍♀️
