Omega Speedmaster - 5 Things I Love & Hate + Is The Reduced The Best Affordable Luxury Chronograph?

[@syncswim]

The simplistic idea that the sole purpose of a watch is to be an expression of affluence (and that affluence = virtue and class) is the most unattractive thing about watch fandom. Kudos for combating that mindset.

[@bluehunnidbandz]

Just recently bought one of these. Stoped the video once the cons started😂

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

Love these “oldies” within your videos - no fancy intro, simply a nice cup of coffee and watch relaxation. Doesnt get any better,, and it lowers my blood pressure....😉👍

[@Beestigeboy]

I bought mine this weekend , was saving up for a speedy professional but with me being 18 i didnt want to have such an exspensive watch and the reduced fits my wrist a lot better.

[@tim2468]

I love this comparison. I too prefer a smaller case and am not a snob when it comes to certain details. I think if you live life worrying about what someone else thinks it's a tragedy...but never mind that discussion. The Speedmaster has been on my radar scope for a while and until this video I never knew about the "reduced version. The Michael Schumacher edition is even better. Thanks for the review and watch wisdom.

[@theurbangentry]

EXCELLENT COMMENT!!! Spot on my friend. Thank you Tim, Best regards, TGV

[@GregSherlock]

Really wise advice on buying the professional and the reduced. Owned the reduced and was too small for me, when I really wanted the professional but was impatient! Love them both and they both have their charms and idiosyncrasies, and both lovely watches. A very happy 861 early 1990s Speedy Pro owner.

[@jonathangraham870]

You are the only person on youtube whose intro I watch. You were my start to my love of watches. I truly believe you have one of the best channels on youtube. Thank you for producing a high-quality show. Best regards, Jonathan

[@ATremellia]

My Speemaster Reduced has been with me in so many special moments, including my MBA and some of my best rock concerts as a musician on stage. I will keep it for life as my 1960 Les Paul Classic guitar.

[@matskarlsson8545]

MBA. Wow!

[@marcoTOcom]

Watched this older video for your take on Speedmasters. Always informative, but what really made my day is that you chose JS Bach's opening aria of the Goldberg Variations, transcribed for guitar, to start the video. You, sir, are pure class!

[@arnabbanerjee2186]

Ohh.. firstly, u r so very effective in expressing ur views .. Secondly, Even in 2024, I m going ahead to take on a used Speedy Reduced .. I feel, it's a masterpiece in itself.. and not only a sandwich ETA .. Thanks for always an effective portrayal . .. keep it up ..God bless

[@enghong]

As an owner of a 3510.10, I agree with many of your likes and dislikes. The point that resonated was about people's snobbery. How much did u spend on a service at a 3rd party watchmaker ? Great video, keep up the good work !

[@WatchGeek]

You made some great points regarding the "Hates" with only one that I don't agree with, but like you said it is a matter of taste, I actually prefer the subdial layout of the reduced, it makes the dial as a whole look more symmetrical, on the professional (despite all the hour markers being perfectly symmetrical) the subdials look squeezed close together and to me it looks like eyes and a mouth of a very fat, round headed man, while the reduced looks like a normal man compared to it - if you can imagine what I am talking about :)

[@kjeldpedersen666]

Hi TGV Great vid as ever. One minor annoyance with my reduced: Because of the low placement of the crown it's kind of difficult to set it while on the arm. The crown is simply hard to get a hold on. Otherwise I love my Speedmaster, like so many people. The fact that many people own one just can't bother me. There might be a good reason for that😉 Best Regards

[@SirBitchalot]

That's weird. Last night I was thinking about the Speedmaster and even logged on to Chrono 24 to check prices. Then I thought that I should check your channel to see if you ever reviewed one. First thing I did at work this morning was log on, go to KZbin and hey presto! Your timing is perfect good Sir.

[@theurbangentry]

Very glad to hear. I get that a lot recently, maybe some kind of higher force is connecting me to the horological collective consciousness ;-) Happy hunting my friend, Best regards, TGV

[@Kalateya]

Dear The Urban Gentry This review gives me the new understanding of the Speedy Reduced. Thank you! PS. I never knew it before that Dubois-Dépraz 2020 chronograph module is a vertical clutch. Therefore, this show just made my day in some way, some how.

[@gfabbroni]

Great review. This is the one watch I've had sellers remorse with. I really enjoy the videos posted on this channel, not so its Facebook group which is populated by complicated people.

[@toolongforyoutoread6]

I want to see your loves and hates of the SKX.

[@colebruce4490]

We've seen enough of that watch lol

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, already shot part of it. Should be up before Xmas ;-) Great minds eh ;-) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@toolongforyoutoread6]

Switching Gears I think we've seen enough of the positives, but I want to see TGV come up with some negatives. Although I love my SKX, I have a few gripes with it; and I'd imagine that the same is true for him.

[@maagmaaxdivers2003]

Great idea.

[@Iknowrealtv]

that video should only 10 secs long because we know you love the SKX there is nothing wrong with it.

[@archergg9226]

I just purchased the 3539.50. My wrists are on the smaller end and I really need an automatic movement for my daily. I always wanted the watch but your videos helped me pull the trigger. Love your content!

[@Trapper2159]

heya tristano, as someone with small wrists, its always really great watching your reviews! thanks and keep up with the good work!

[@KyleGoeken]

The "FOIS" is my grail. Saving every day! Excellent video as always!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Kyle, a VERY worthy grail indeed. Keep at it my friend, it's worth it. Best regards, TGV

[@amjr7607]

Great review. I as well have owned both the reduced and full size Speedmasters, and I as well have a smallish wrist. I ended up with a full size speedmaster recently on a 1171/1 omega bracelet. I prefer the manual wind and the iconic nature of the larger watch with the lighter bracelet. I’ve also noticed that the sizing is OK on me with long sleeve shirts, which is what I wear 5 days a week. I recently saw a bright yellow dial Speedmaster reduced, and then a blue dial with white Subdials reduced, so I agree that the many dial options on these watches make them a great option... Cheers

[@thomaslorenc762]

As someone who has gone back and forth between the professional and the reduced, I really appreciated and enjoyed this video. It hasn't helped my decision one iota (grin), but I loved it nonetheless. Thanks, TGV!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Thomas, sometime you just have to experience them all before you find the right fit. Happy hunting my friend. Expensive I know, but at least it's fun! ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@Ramblin_Man]

Yes! Agreed - Speedy reduced is a great watch and is a real Speedmaster - well said.

[@pas0003]

Great review TGV! Ive got the reduced as well and keep going back and forth on whether to get the professional, however both the cost and the dimensions keep me from taking the plunge. I just really love how the reduced sits of my 7 inch / 18 cm wrist

[@harrow2355]

I just bought a Omega Speedmaster Japanese Racing Dial,its now in Sydney at an Omega boutique getting complete overhaul and qualified check by Omega.

[@leestrada1]

I have been seeing at your videos and enjoying every minute of them. Thank you so much, I think it gives a very different perspective to a social group that's very commonly snobbish. Your videos educate and therefore reduce that, I think. cheers!

[@tunokies]

Thank you for introducing me to the 'reduced' . Never seen one at the usual dealers.

[@theurbangentry]

Very glad to hear, there is a ton of them online, happy hunting. Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@michelecalo1107]

Excellent video, TGV! I think the Speedy is one of those watches that every watch enthusiast should experience for a period of their life, since it's one of the most iconic watches along with the Sub and the Navitimer, in my opinion. Actually I like quite a lot the new automatic Racing Speedy. They are 40mm so between the Reduced and the Pro and they add even more fun and variety. I like the grey dial with yellow accents but I do also like a lot the white dial one, I don't know there is something about white dial speedy... Well, wear your speedy in good health my friend! Best regards, Michele.

[@TriPorKona]

Just ordered a near mint ‘09 3539 with original box and papers from overseas- shipping to the US. Took a while to find this one piece. You played a big role in this decision- thanks for all the great videos on your 3539. Couldn’t have said it better myself regarding your point on the professional vs. the reduced. No doubt could have gone with the professional, but my wrists are on the smaller side and I will enjoy the 3539 so much more. Fit above all else= wearing with more conference and more joy. Thanks again. -Matt

[@vishy]

I have a speedmaster professional which I wear on a steel bracelet and I adore it. But I also love the automatic reduced and due to its slightly smaller size, I think it looks stunning as a dress watch on a leather strap. I intend to also buy a reduced (maybe one of the limited editions) before they skyrocket in value. TGV - keep wearing your speedie reduced schumie with pride - it's simply stunning and I wish I had one!

[@egibson2266]

I have a 3511.50 which I got on my wedding day from my step dad and I love it. I am planning to buy his Mitsukoshi (genuine speedmaster professional clone) because they look unreal and I prefer the size.

[@canonyeo4286]

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 (30mm dial). The fine soft cordovan straps wears so comfortable. I like this better than my daytona. Just stunning.

[@thomaswoitasczyk5630]

I loved this review! I have the Schumacher reduced in Modena Yellow that preceded your Schumacher, as well as the 2001 Schumacher Racing limited edition with the carbon fiber dial. Thanks for your reviews! I hope you have a very happy holiday season!

[@dachanist]

I like the centre seconds ability, the easy winding, the automatic and hacking of the reduced. Sometimes I wish I had something with more wrist presence like if I’m out on the town but the subtle classic size of the reduced suits me better as a daily driver. I’ll never sell it but might buy a different speedy some day. It’s definitely a gateway drug for nice watches.

[@Lippo187]

Hi TGV, thank you very much for your honest opinion on the speedy. I acually really like the slighty higher pushers of the reduced! They give it a very unique and special look. Couldn't agree more about the snobbery though...it's so annoying. Keep up the good work my friend. (more than 70k subscribers...crazy! Iam very glad your hard work pays off) Cheers!

[@Teachering]

I agree with you, TGV: both the two-tone and the 18 carat solid gold reduced Speedmaster are a very "cool" looking watch. Personally, after having viewed this video and recalling various bits of information you've given in the past regarding the Speedmaster reduced, I am more inclined to own this design rather than the larger version of the wristwatch. Too bad the reduced is no longer manufactured. Great video, as always, TGV.

[@ordinary_]

I just got the reduced automatic with sapphire glass! gonna be a dailywear for many many years

[@alemspreco]

i only want a omega speedmaster because of Michael Schumacher, childhood hero.

[@MrRoyck10]

I was blown away by the intro with the combination of watch and coffee, what an epic! The content is very informative and as usual very objective analysis of the Speedmaster by the Gov'nor. I agree with your point on the size and alternative element but I would have preferred if the Reduce have the manual movement that I'm lusting after. The Schumey limited edition is better looking than the professional which I find also too big for my small wrist, but the manual movement is what I want rather than the automatic. I am sure I have seen the manual in 39mm, please correct me if I am wrong. I must admit the limited edition Schumey in the (Ferrari red) dial looked stunning. Thanks for a very well made video and an extraordinary introduction. The TGV hallmark of excellence!!!

[@timschubardt]

Great video. I really notice that you put very much effort in every video.:)

[@thewatchhipster3605]

Great video TGV! Loved the end part where you were talking about snobbery and perception of the reduced. I got similar feedback when I bought and posted a video of my smaller seamaster which I didn't buy because it was cheaper but simply because it looked much more elegant and refined on my wrist. While I think people who assume most of the time mean no harm, it does get quite annoying after while when folks leave comments or remarks such as great watch now you need to sell it and get the real size one ..etc. Once again great video!

[@jkldeer]

I've always preferred the reduced. It's size and practicality(no need to wind) suits my needs much better. Excellent review, hit all the right points for me. :)

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Daniel, keep enjoying your speedy! Best regards, TGV

[@gouthamkgh]

Your articulation and level of detail is amazing!

[@simonmou88]

For long time I thought I was getting the Omega Speedmaster reduced as a gift to myself after I graduated from Uni. Im kinda build like you with small wrists, because I had some wired disease as kid eventhough im a big guy. Any way I got the chance to try one on a few years ago and it was an immediate feel that even the reduced felt too big around my wrist. So I decided to wait a while untill im 100% sure of which watch I want. In the meantime I found an old Omega Military watch in a antique store and bought it for $100 and had it serviced. Now it sits elegantly around my wrist with a black leather strap untill I make up my mind. Any way keep up the good work with your videos.

[@TASCOM44]

I agree with a lot of points, however I have spoken with many experiences watchmakers and none will touch the DD movement inside the reduced. They have all said that they just send it to Omega where the chrono module gets replaced which is very costly

[@marcusdoling7698]

Great Video! very informative. I love my Speedy reduced. It is the perfect fit for my wrist. An underrated watch IMO

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Marcus, so glad to hear and I could not agree more about the Reduced. Wear it with pride! Best regards, TGV

[@marcusdoling7698]

Hi, Many thanks for the response. I also know you're an Oris fan.. I saw you're review on the Divers Sixty-five and wondered what your thought were on the Movember Edition (40mm) which I just bought for my 50th! (my Speedy reduced was my 40th birthday gift!). I was going to get the Oris in the 42mm size, but was way too big for me! BTW I Love your channel.

[@rickmarsh571]

Always loved the white snoppy professional speedy but the price is more than I'm willing to pay! That flashing screen in the background!!! Always look forward to you videos,great job!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Rick, great choice, love the Snoopy too. Best regards, TGV

[@KRBY555]

[@andrewabraham7455]

Greetings TGV. Love the videos, but you're killing me with all these Speedmaster Reduced videos. Haha I'm 20 and it's my grail watch. By the time I'm old enough to get one they're going to be worth a fortune.

[@DavesWatchLove]

It was hard to like a video that says anything bad about the Speedmaster, but I did! :)

[@bmjengland4966]

Good Video TGV!! I have to say, in my opinion I think every collection should have an Omega in there!! It would be my first choice of brand over the other Big Boys... so classic!! BMJ ENGLAND!!

[@hossambadie717]

hi TGV! there no even single review over KZbin about mk40 3820.53 , no one didn't like this watch , I hope it will be in your reviews list, thx for the great video again .

[@80sfordman]

I've got the Speedmaster 44.25mm case version with Co-Axial 9300 Automatic movement and I absolutely love it. If you haven't saw it yet TGV, then you should go over to Omega's site and have a look at the new Speedmaster "Moonphase" it looks gorgeous!

[@sk8brdninja746]

What's up TGV! I love the Speedmaster. The Pada looks great, the blk and wht colorway looks really good. The gold is phenomenal but Im a little gawdy like that. I can't forget the Schumey, the different colors make it really versatile and fun. Total Stapmonster! One of my favorite watches I have learned about.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you SN, very glad to hear my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Hi TGV, I'm not a big fan of the Speedmaster, because in my opinion the dial is to cluttered. But the Reduced with its 38 mm dial, would be my choice if I have to decide between both models. Best regards, Claus

[@wujiarong3331]

Watching this in 2023! Cheers 🎉

[@tommmmmer]

Idea for a video - wrist size and stature. You could bring federico on and show viewers why a 45mm doesn't work for yourself and why it does work for federico etc. I also think it's not just wrist size but stature

[@theurbangentry]

Absolutely, spot on. In fact I did a video all about this last year. I explained how some watches despite the large diameter work on a variety of wrists and how it's not always about just the diameter. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@edwardgordillo4577]

i loved the honesty about snobbery! Great video TGV. (:

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Edward :D Best regards, TGV

[@vishy]

Edward Gordillo me too! So many watch channels out there have snobby undertones, which is why I always come crawling back to the holy trinity (TGV, Federico and T&H) ... continue keeping it real guys 👍🏼

[@bazzie85]

vishy I would also include J. Anthony in his stance against snobbery.

[@blakskul187]

I'd have to say the best affordable luxury chrono is the zenith el primero. Comes in a ton of variantions (much like the speedmaster) but with equal heritage and pedigree buy a way more horologically significant movement. You can pick them up in conservative styles for 3.5-5k new from reputable from grey market dealers and about the same used.

[@origamicrane685]

Thanks for talking in depth about the reduced.

[@hellotabasco]

excellent video TGV! i think that we all love the speedy too much lol... nothing to hate about it... keep the good work! cheers!!!

[@flyingfox7252]

TGV even your intros are simply the best man! I’m studying the Omega Moon Watch series. I’m trying to acquire the best watch available for my measly A$4,500. What model can I realistically expect to be able to afford. I want to wear it everyday but I also hope it will prove to be a reasonable investment. Just so impressed with your site

[@kevmc5]

Got a speedmaster pro for my 30th, I love it and wear it every day.

[@theurbangentry]

Fantastic, what a great watch for your 30th, pure class. Thank you Kevin, Best regards, TGV

[@brendanfisher]

kevin mccabe - I also bought myself a Speedy Pro Moonwatch for my 30th. Time to start saving for the Navitimer I'm going to buy for my 40th!! Which version of the Speedy Pro did you go for and why? I went hesalite crystal and solid caseback.

[@kevmc5]

Brendan Fisher - Hi, I chose the traditional run of the mill (if you can call it that) 31130423001005 plexiglass. I've always had a bit of a fascination with space exploration and I thought, what better than the moon watch. It's quite funny you mention the navitimer because when I went to buy the speedmaster I compared it to the navitimer just to make sure I was making the right choice. Haha great minds. How about you? What was your thinking behind it?

[@kevmc5]

The Urban Gentry - Wanted to see what you thought of quartz movements in luxury brands? I think this would be a good idea for a video. Before I looked in to watches so much, I bought myself a Tag Heuer formula one black on black with rubber strap for £950. Now I've looked a bit more in to watches and what I could have got for the same money I feel a bit let down. What do you think? Thanks, Kev

[@brendanfisher]

Hi Kevin. Thanks for your reply. I also went for the Hesalite crystal / solid caseback / stainless steel bracelet option because I wanted to stay true to the original. I also felt that this option would be a better investment, although I can never see myself selling it. It was between the Speedmaster and a Breitling Superocean Heritage 42 for me, but the Speedmaster won. I already have too many divers in my collection. My next luxury watch purchase will almost certainly be the Navitimer, although I've never tried one on!

[@darrenwills4037]

Thank you for an outstanding breakdown, gave me a good understanding of the differences and will certainly inform my search for a birth year watch. Cheers!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Darren, very kind. Best regards, TGV

Ferrari red is actually Marlboro red

[@theurbangentry]

Very cool, thank you! Best regards, TGV

[@wtpantaleo]

Had many Speedy Pros. I was reluctant to go to the 38mm, but I must say it really wears well on you. I have a small wrist at 6.5mm. I may give one of these a try as I'm finding my taste is going towards smaller watches as I get older

[@theurbangentry]

Haha, thank you! As for smaller watches, me too! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@mellypro]

Let me point out one additional suggestion - Day-Date Speedmasters 3520.50.00 (link below). I actually bought this piece for second time (funny is that it is the same particular piece from the guy I sold it to). Anyway, it is also 39mm, automatic, saphire glass, but not so "homage" to Moonwatch. And when seen in flash, you don't get the feeling that the dial is too much complicated. Finally, it is also very affordable. My friend had the Reduced Speedmasters so I had the comparison and my personal feeling was that 3520.50.00 feels more like "adult or complete watch". The movement is Omega 1151, which is based on Valjoux 7751 which is based on Lemania 5100, one of the most rock solid movements ever made. All together, just one another way to be considered for all the Speedmaster demanders out there. Link: www.omegawatches.com/watches/speedmaster/day-date/35205000/

[@jamesluciani3284]

Love all the reduced!! Have a couple including the triple date. Both have a personality all there own!👍🍷

[@tendrams]

Important to remember that the 42mm version is really only 42mm because of what amounts to the "long" crown guards. Take that away and it's basically the 39.7mm version and doesn't really wear all that differently IMHO.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you John, I found it to be too large fore me but I agree for a 42 it is not that large, specially compared to some other 42mm pieces I have also owned in the past. Best regards, TGV

[@tendrams]

I do think it wears smaller on a strap or NATO....which is how I will wear mine once I purchase it! :)

[@brodeur212]

OMG Michael schumacher version WOW !!! He is the legend ! #KeepFightingMichael

[@mikl1987]

Great explanation of "snobbery", I wasn't aware of that. I've been interested in watches for a couple of years, but not until 15 minutes ago did I actually own one - I literally just received an automatic Seamster in black - the last version with the waves on the dial, I believe. i just wanted to say thank you for your great videos! I like your character and respectful enthusiasm as well as the fact that your videos are very informative and educational. I was deciding between a Speedy reduced and the Seamster, but I have not dropped the idea of getting a speedy reduced in the future. Hey - turns out you can save money on having skinny wrists :) thanks again, and cheers from Copenhagen, Denmark Mikkel

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Your Speedmaster has just the right amount of colour on the dial, wear it in good health TGV.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Bob :D I totally agree, any more and it would of been too much. Best regards, TGV

[@ryanmead3939]

Hi tgv great vid such a grat piece lets just enjoy what we enjoy no room for snobbery, i love all watches lol, all the best your friend Ryan. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS.

[@domokun938]

I bought a speedy reduced from Japan from a reputable dealer. I noticed the chrono wasn't resetting to 12 o clock. sometimes at 11 sometimes at 1 o'clock. at one reset, the second hand jumped off! I was really disappointed. the seller offered a refund. anyone else faced this?

[@thomasfitzsimmons897]

Timothy Ng absolutely could be fixed with minor work by that reputable or an authorized dealer.

[@boeingt7236]

That intro made me want to get a latte and some biscotti, instead of this coke and pop tart! Great advice T. I'm still on the fence on getting a speedy.

[@gelmibson883]

[@marcelpignole583]

Very nice video made by a very elegant gentleman.

[@Moose-ez1oo]

[@deetimeloveshow]

Great vid TGV as always, very honest and on point, love my reduced, got the two tone, gets more wrist time than my Rolex Datejust, its quite dressy too, best wishes Dee

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Dee, too kind sir! Will have to check out your DJ, did you review it? Best regards, TGV

[@deetimeloveshow]

The Urban Gentry yep around 6 months ago, was one of my first videos on youtube, makes me gringe everytime I watch it lol so bad, featured it recently in my latest Edc vid with the reduced, Tgv please do an Edc vid, would love to see your kit, cheers Dee

[@tiangvincent2573]

I share your sentiments on the alignment of the chrono pushers as well. I feel the crown touching the surface of my wrist n can be uncomfortable sometimes. The chrono pushers are slightly above the crown becos the watch has a Dubois Depraz 2020 chrono module sandwiched onto the ETA based movement. My Speedmaster reduced is the older version. Bought it since 2003 n it has the thinner clasp. I like your two reviews of this watch👍

[@mojoslrshit]

Absolutely right what you're saying. But the prices are still too high. Smaller watches always tend to get more stupid comments. I guess it has to do with a misinterpretation of manhood….

[@peterfrancis14]

I love the stamped clasps on Rolex...light and has never failed. I'm not sure why people associate weight with quality. Invictas are heavy and.....💥

Speed master , I first saw ont in a jewelry shop window on Petticbura street in Bangkok Thailand , 3years later when I was home and had a job, I bought one, I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but it was in and out of repair a half dozen times until it was stolen from me, now I have four watches with the 7750 movements, never a problem with any of them which brings me to my Tak Heuer whose bezel went out right after it went out of warranty, needless to say I’m kind of disappointed in some Swiss watches

I just bought a Breitling Crosswind Chrono in steel and 18K gold with the matching band, and today an Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the dealer I ordered it from was on the Omega web site for my country, I assume this means I am safe and it will be genuine

I don’t really know how you could have a list of five hates of the Omega Speedmaster. It’s one of the top 5 watches ever made.
