Omega's New Speedmaster 3861! (2021)

[@MrSaadmubarak]

Surprised wasn't more talk about the biggest improvement, the movement.

[@alexanderv.8961]

Idiots. Show us the back of the watch too! Like WTF

[@thehairlesspersian3273]

The new bracelet is indeed quite stunning. I always thought the speedy looked best on a black/grey nato, but this might be the first one I’d say pay for and keep the steel bracelet.

[@philipsutcliffe1610]

Watch geek here Sinn offer acrylic or sapphire as an option

[@cardinalj]

Yes on the 103 and the 356. Both great chronographs.

[@JayandSarah]

First thing I was thinking is.. Sinn. I have to laugh at the youtubers these days. What a corporate love in this stuff seems to be. End of the day, the bracelet looks great but it's design has issues and all sorts of watch enthusiasts have complained about it.

[@LazloRolka]

Wow, the average watch bloke knows so much more than these two. This watch has been reviewed by everyone already, Weeks ago. What was this a commercial? And what's with the new 321 coming out? Its been out for a long time. Do they still offer a hesalite? WTF.

[@Triggaaar]

IKR. Watch 'expert' asks if they still offer it in hesalite. There's a reason most other watches don't offers a choice of hesalite or sapphire, and a reason the Moonwatch is still available with either. It's not rocket science.

[@LazloRolka]

​@@Triggaaar I mean c'mon. It immediately made me unsubscribe. There is nothing to be learned here.

[@mannycalavera2335]

I think that the online community is hyperfocused on the Speedmaster. And while the hivemind tells us we need to have memorized its history and reference numbers, these two clearly are not quite as interested in the model. I would almost say, good for them.

[@JayandSarah]

Yeah I was thinking the same. Asking if the watch is still available in hesalite... just ridiculous.

[@Pakiboyo]

Absolutely agree. Christian needs to do his homework before coming out with a video. Maybe wait and do a more considered review next time?

[@marshmallow21]

FYI, sapphire version has applied logo, hesalite doesn't.

Thanks for a great video. Just a note on the video audio, I think one of the lav mics wasn't synced correctly. Might be the guy on the right, but I'm just eyeing it. Great vid, great shots, great editing, thank you, because I'm hungry for these while I figure out what I'm gonna geeeeeeet!

[@Sams911]

while a nice watch... the "Ed White" 321 caliber is the holy grail of Speedmasters.. but be prepared for either a 3 year wait, or pay $22,000.

[@zioromesp4991]

My friend, I only tell you that the new moon will make history as the BEST of all time, because it actually is in all its points, and it is the only one to have passed all possible tests, I understand that all owners of the old moon try in some way to discredit this masterpiece as it will bring down the prices of 1861 etcc. But this Moon is destined to make history, and to take very high prices over the years !! tnx

[@ripperx444]

I owned the previous version and sold it. Now picked this one up with haselite and all I can say it’s amazing. Bracelet is awesome

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Isn't this 1 anti magnetic also unlike the prior speedmaster s

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Beautiful piece. I’m always happy to see my friend Anthony collab with your team Christian! Keep the great videos coming.

[@mikemush9741]

Great video as always Christian. I always wanted to like the prior Speedmaster but couldn't put my finger on what I disliked about it. Now I know....it was the non-tapered bracelet that I didn't like. Everything about the new bracelet looks better. The new bracelet is thinner, lighter, looks better, but that taper looks amazing. That was what was lacking on the old one and Omega completely fixed it with this new bracelet. Well done! I can't wait to pick one up.

[@nerk1691]

such a great release! there are differences between the sapphire version and the hesalite version besides the crystal. would be cool to see a comparison video, cheers

[@charlieboylol527]

I’ve tried it on amazing watch and the case back is beautiful 👍

[@jaime4022]

It's a great upgrade for someone who doesn't already own a Speedy. I would not sell my 1861 to get this, though. I would rather add a regular Speedmaster master chronometer instead, whether racing or any of the side of the moons.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Isn't it anti magnetic aswell unlike the prior speedmaster s

[@melocoton7]

I put this bracelet on my old Speedy and it changes everything. It's much more comfortable to wear and looks way more elegant. Beautiful bracelet.

“I see Omega being very collectible.” I’ve heard watch dealers say that before.

[@Dan-lq6dg]

[@Wildcatjames1]

Thanks guys, always a pleasure watching the two of you talk about watches! I have a six year old Speedie Pro, and I don’t know what it is about Omega but they make me feel warm inside, more than any other brand, regardless of cost. Guess that makes me a fanboy 😀

[@jasonscott6171]

[@BlackFlooz]

Wrist check ?

[@christianq7688]

Junghans Max Bill is also available in Plexiglas and Sapphire

[@edjack1993]

Tried the hesalite version on recently. Tapered bracelet and stepped dial makes the watch much more suited to my 6.75in wrist - these refinements seems to have “shrunk” the watch vs the previous iteration. And the fully polished bracelet on the hesalite version really is gorgeous - I reckon it is more in keeping with the tool nature of the watch compared to the mixed brushed/polished finish that comes with the sapphire crystal version. But to each their own! Definitely on my wish list.

[@hugostiglitz4777]

Will that bracelet fit on the FOIS?

[@JacK-yr8ri]

I love my Speedmaster but do sometimes think I should have got the sapphire crystal. After 5 years of applying polywatch it can get a bit annoying xD

[@Mega-zi7ys]

Get a super thin 0.1mm soft TPU self healing film. Easy to install and invisible to the naked eye and doesn't affect the opacity of the hesalite at all.

[@WristwatchAddiction]

So glad you did one for the newest speedy! Great looking piece! Definitely adding another one to the collection eventually.

[@Triggaaar]

A non watch geek probably couldn't tell the difference between the Speedmasters that went to the moon, and the new one. Everyone can immediately tell the difference between the 911s of the 60s and the current 911s, they're a world apart (despite still being easily recongnisable as 911s).

[@Thankyou_3]

Omega is an awesome brand and they are sticking true to their heritage by offering manual wound movements.

[@Fastlife_hos]

I hear it’s not a great feel on the wrist. A lot pulling and scratching of the skin is this true ???

[@johnnyguitar6697]

It doesn't scratch the skin once on the wrist. As for hair pulling, not any more than a Rolex jubilee or presidential bracelet.

[@christianebert8086]

Hi Christian, think it is a good move from Omega keeping the spirit of the moon watch design and keeping the technical marketing with this two versions of Heslite and Sapphire Sandwich like before - so a sound evolution of Omegas flagship watch accompagnied by a certain price (and margin) increase in the shadow of the Rolex hype. Greetings from Germany, great video - many thanks

For someone who doesn't spend a lot of time with Speedmasters this one looks exactly like the last one. I feel like it could do with some visual spice.

[@springthyme501]

That's like saying the Submariner no date could do with some visual spice. It's their most iconic piece, so very little is going to change each generation. With both of these watches, people lust after them for decades so they can't really afford to do anything too crazy.

[@ChrisArden]

It’s also true to the original: all the speedmasters that went to the moon had hesalite crystals.

[@imadbasayev8541]

The main reason Nasa only approved hesalite is because it won't shatter like sapphire, it will only crack.
