The Speedmaster Chronicles #1 - James H. Ragan, The Man Responsible for the "Moonwatch"

[@jeanlefranc3817]

This former NASA gentleman is a wealth of knowledge. True live Omega legend. My respects.

4:55 - The most amazing tests for this watch model were probably the acceleration test to 7.25 G x 5 minutes and then to 16 G for 30 sec, and the shock resistance test of six 40 G shocks in 6 directions. These watches were built probably stronger than most tanks.

Buying the Omega right now ! What a history!!!! Beautiful

[@WatchGeek]

Wonderful video about one of the best eras of human history!! And naturally one of the most iconic watches ever 😊👍

[@5265vic]

I very much miss those days

[@MrVoayer]

Valuable piece of history !!! I hope the other videos in the series will be just as informative and just as enjoyable !

[@superfast30]

Incredible stuff. Omega is king!

[@mr.t8369]

I'm so happy I found this interview. More people need to see this!

[@Monochrome-watches]

You're welcome, and spread the word! :D

[@LarryGanz]

Loved this video! I have a vintage 1976 Speedmaster Pro "moonwatch" as well as a few modern ones (one standard as used by NASA for EVA, one with sapphire display caseback, and finally a Limited Edition with panda dial).

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

I'm 48 and times right to get one of these beautiful watches this year they're fantastic

[@KleinKreiki]

A wonderfull story, looking forward to the next parts....

[@imsteevin]

[@Shadowwalker1717]

Who needs Rolex? xD Omega is in Space!

[@perrooceaniko2005]

[@onmywatch9165]

Im just curious… does hesalite crystals can really withstand 250 fahrenheit?

[@lastnamefirstname520]

anyone ever seen one of those "radio dial" ones before? I believe thats the real treasure never been available to the public

[@billmedic1995]

It’s “radial” dial, as in radius. It refers to the way the numerals are configured around the subdials. Super rare variant.

[@spacecatboy2962]

what is the theme music for this

[@csabah.6251]

awesome stuff!

[@GrafZahl13]

OMEGA real Rock n' Roll watches💪🚀🌠🌑!

[@Monochrome-watches]

You've said it!!

[@dagsabot5589]

I wonder how you keep from cracking the crystal as it protrudes so much from the case?

[@daffidavit]

I wonder how the "plastic Hasilite" crystal didn't melt at 250 degrees.

[@ahheng6402]

Watching on 27th March 2022...

[@UXXV]

“The Jiminy days...” I was thinking Jiminy Cricket - he meant Gemini

[@daffidavit]

The German engineers called it "Gem en eeee" not "Gem en eye".. It's just the way we grew up hearing it called.

[@lukespector5550]

Wonder what's on Bart Sibrel's wrist? 🧐

[@ChrisM-lb8xw]

Omega… to the moon baby! Rolex… never mind. Overhyped bling is the future of watchmaking 🙃

[@stu632]

He means Gemini right? Can someone tell him how to pronounce it?

[@giveML]

You can pronounce Gemini either way.

[@fortsonre]

Yep, all the old timers at NASA pronounced it that way.

[@RaymondLo84]

And Rolex... Let me play more tennis...

[@pamanmuda5790]

Saya tunggu subscribers nya.

[@swiftusmaximus3949]

Poor Rolex and Longines

[@tomsmyth5138]

When he says I only let omega service the watches .....lol no shit do you know how to service a watch

[@scottmakis7070]

Some people get their watches serviced by a local or independent watch maker 🤔🤷‍♂️

[@dynamicsinesdynamicsines1161]

nobody went to the moon, good watch though

[@jorgerobles628]

Yeah, coz Earth is flat with a pin underneath holding it, LOL!!!!!!

[@camarocarl7130]

Try telling Buzz that why dont you? He would pound your face.
