Great taste! I bought mine sapphire version one about two years ago and love it every single day. Every time I encounter someone wearing a speedy is always a classy, professional person with great conversation.

[@Psyko1233]

Got this exact model a couple weeks ago. Enjoy wearing it. Drooled over a speedmaster since I was 14. 11 years later, I bought my personal grail watch and decided to go with the FIOS since I like the case size, the more dressy look with the strap, no crownguards and the applied logo. To me, this is THE one watch to have for a lifetime (the standard professional too of course)

[@hespokestyle]

Very cool! Congrats!

[@mdesmet9111]

For several years I've considered buying a speedy, but for some reason I never did. I don't have a huge wrist either, so I was mainly looking at the 40mm models, but in the end I liked the Speedy Professional the best, and I wanted a display caseback, so I finally ordered my sapphire sandwich last week. Should be arriving next week... 🤞

[@Ammar88ist]

I got mine a week ago... I have quite an impressive collection with multiple watches worth 20k and up but I was pleasantly surprising how fast I fell in love with the speedy... now i get why people say that you ain't a collector till you have one of these in your vault.

@@johnlocke3481 I've already sold it again. It's a nice watch, but in my opinion it doesn't really feel or look very premium. The movement is nice to look at, but the rest of the watch feels rather unrefined, so I believe there are better watches in it's price range.

@@mdesmet9111 Thanks! I’ve never actually owned a luxury watch and have been studying them for months to figure out what to get.

Class watch. I bought the speedmaster professional from the Omega shop in Glasgow a few years back and got invited to a dinner where they had a guy who worked for Omega in Geneva come over and gave a history talk on the speedy. All the centre pieces on the dinner table were speedmasters. Fantastic evening.

[@TKsheng]

I’ve looked at the speedmaster first omega in space as well as the speedmaster professional... i am a man with a wrist size of 5.5 inches, even smaller than most women, but i found out that this model even though with smaller diameter, has almost the same lug to lug length as the speedy pro... the speedy pro in fact wears better with the curved and twisted lugs, whereas this model’s lugs stick out straight and doesn’t hug to wrist as well... but most importantly, as long as you enjoy what you buy, all’s good!

Congrats on your FOIS Speedy! It is an excellent piece. If you haven't tried the 42mm Pro on your wrist, you may be surprised. The 42mm measure includes the asymmetric case that encompasses the crown guards. The actual width of the bezel is closer to about 40.5mm, I believe. Also the curved lugs may prove to sit better on a smaller wrist than you might expect.

[@aaronkeyes8943]

Fabulous choice Mr. Sacawa! Enjoy your new watch and fantastic video as always.

Couldn't agree more!

[@zekevfab]

Congrats on your purchase, that is a beautiful watch! I believe the FOIS and the Speedmaster Professional size similarly with same lug to lug dimensions around 47-48mm. The FOIS does not have the crown guard, hence the smaller 39.7mm diameter instead of 42mm with the crown guard.

The watch looks killer on your wrist @3:09. I actually just bought one yesterday. I agree with you on the points you made. I love the smaller size. I love no crown guards, and ease of wind, I love the pre-moon watch classic vintage look. I think it looks the best out of most 42mm speedy's and it is certainly more UNIQUE. This is the next best thing besides spending a fortune for the new 321 Ed White. And honestly this is a great watch in it's own right. Incredibly undervalued in the watch community. I think the value will go up in the future, but that doesn't matter to me! It's not leaving my collection!

It's a good choice and as someone with wrists about the same size as yours, I tend to have the same issues in terms of choice. My Longines Diver is actually 41mm but wears smaller on its bracelet, but generally I stick to 40mm or less. I chose a reverso in medium rather than large, and have my eye on some of the JLC ultra thin models. I was pleased to see the Lange worked well for you as I was worried these would come off looking too large! You've added his Omega model to my watch radar.

Disagree. Solid case back is original and in line with original. It's against your wrist all day if you actually wear your watch so who cares. Unoriginal and out of sight. Seems like a pretty lame reason to have one. I mean, to each their own. I think he made the right choice. See-through case back is kind of like fake thence on a sports car. I know there isn't an exact comparison but I think both are just kind of lame.

I’m working up to getting a Moon Watch, my first true luxury watch. I’m going for a hexelite crystal though. I love the dome of the crystal. Can’t wait.

[@DuyLongBui]

The FOIS and the Speedy Pro have actually about the same lug to lug measurements (47-48mm) and wear quite similar. The 2mm difference only comes from the asymmetrical case and thus the added crown guards. The problem is with the bracelet of the current Speedmaster Professional models where the end links 'overhang' the case. That's what make them wear so big. Just swap it to a strap or a bracelet which doesn't 'overhang' the case (e.g. 1170 with 633 end links, 1479 with 812 or go for an aftermarket bracelet like from Forstner Bands). If I can wear a Speedy Pro on my 15cm / 6 inch wrist, you can too.

[@rlejano]

Yes, that overhang makes it so different and bigger on the wrist, so I mostly wear mine on a strap instead of its bracelet.

[@DuyLongBui]

[@mathewazzopard8100]

The speed Master, especially the moon watch whether date or the classic no date is a must in every high end watch collector. Good choice adding this watch to yours, but why go on the strap piece. You should have bought one with the bracelet and if you're keen on straps, just buy an additional leather strap with an Omega deployment or even classic buckle. Yes the cost would have been higher but not more than 8 to 10% more. It'll be like having 2 watches. Some use strap during fall/winter and bracelet during spring/summer. I do the opposite as the watch wears more comfortable on my wrist when wearing a jacket. I love a good leather strap. From gunny to fine calf skin and gator/croco but unless it's a straight dress watch I want the bracelet. The speedy is a great sport/casual even dress watch (not strict) great mechanism with 100m WR. I would like to see, and would certainly buy a third one, if there will be an edition with ceramic tachymeter bezel. Over a decade ago ceramic was adopted to a large number of brands that manufacture diver watches, why not on sport chronos. Some may argue the vintage look that the either steel or aluminum give but then again those days ceramic was not an option.

[@cyber5677]

I am getting close to pulling the trigger on one and only thing holding me back is the black leather croc or steel edition....can’t one just buy leather and later buy the steel bracelet if needed?

[@mathewazzopard8100]

@@cyber5677 usually when buying the bracelet afterwards you pay a lot. Did that once with early editions of Seamaster Chrono. Bought it on an amazing blue shark skin, then a month later (no leather will last in water especially sea water) bought it's bracelet. Paid for the watch mid 90s $1,900 and for the bracelet $700 !

Hi Brian, I've got a couple of quick comments if you don't mind: 1. Thanks for everything you do, I like the channel and look forward to the HSS/MA collection. 2. I've noticed that, recently, you've seemed to dial up the energy in your presentations, and added an intro video with lines like "Unlock your potential." While others may feel differently, I can't say I'm a fan of either. The laid-back style seemed much more genuine. And I'm just here to get some style inspiration and see what looks good, not for some profound spiritual awakening. 3. I've also noticed you no longer list links to the pieces featured in the video in the caption. Why not? That was a great way to help viewers locate pieces they liked and "discover their purpose" :p 4. Thanks again, and all the best!

Thanks for the feedback, Michael. You may not have any sort of deeper connection to style and what it can do for you personally, but many do, including myself. Regarding links, I am one person and there are many facets to my business and I simply can't prioritize everything. Creating links is incredibly time consuming and little ROI.

Great review. It looks like you have the strap in the smallest hole. I have a 6.25" wrist, and have been fearful about buying any Speedmaster. Also, if the strap is bolstered, it is even tougher to get it to conform to my dainty wrist. Any thoughts, anyone?

Beautiful watch. Never knew Ebay had an authenticated watch seller marketplace.

They totally do! It's a great program.

Hi Brian, great buy! Did you compare that FOIS vs Speedy automatic? I guess you’ve decided on FOIS due to the history x obviously! I’ve started to expand my collection due to staying & working at home the past 7 months (a lot of free time for youtubing). I knew & respected the history of speedy being the space watch etc., but speedy was not in top list, reason was same as yours: 42mm and too me chrono dial seemed not minimalistic vs divers. I got a u-turn episode discovering the speedy reduced/auto being 38mm & suddenly the dial of speedy becoming so appealing + hesalite vintage effect, very strange indeed! I pulled the trigger and get myself a speedy auto and loved it a lot. One of the reasons I always enjoyed & subbed to your contents even before you showed us your collection is you always mentioned the watch you paired with your outfit and inspired me as well. It will be great now that you’ll be showing a speedy with.. suit & informal attires? Surprise us

I give a thumbs up to every one of your videos but an extra quick one to this video for the giant leap pun.

That’s funny. I am thinking of getting one myself. Though I am weird and want the “reduced” with the sapphire crystal.

[@hespokestyle]

Whatever you love!
