Omega Speedmaster Professional 3570.50

[@qazwsx60827]

The definition of a classic wrist watch. Most definitely a top tier time piece. Even though my favourite chronograph is the Navitimer 01, i cannot get enough of the Speedmaster. Great review!

[@369168]

Thanks for watching. The Navitimer is an excellent watch and iconic watch as well. Thank you for watching :)

[@Teachering]

A very good review of the Omega Speedmaster Professional. Pleasant to watch and learn more about this marvelous timepiece.

[@ceejaydeesoozaa]

the best watch in the omega sports lineup,in my eyes..congrats brother

[@369168]

the Speedy is definitely one of the iconic Omegas

[@369168]

An astute viewer indicated my misuse of the term tricompax. Although it is frequently used to described a chronograph with a 3, 6, 9 subdial layout, this is incorrect. The term has its origins from a specific Universal Geneve timepiece. So in referring to any chronograph with a 3, 6, 9 subdial layout I will henceforth refer it as a "3,6, 9 layout"

[@artwellsounddreamer7985]

Very fine watch! It was thoroughly tested among a couple of other brand watches and was the only one that passed the NASA Space Program test. For years I followed and googled this watch to know all about it. But since a couple of weeks I have one and wear it with very much pleasure. I like the fact that it is a manual wounding movement, plus personally the watch connects with the only still camera brand that was used in space and on the moon: the Swedish Hasselblad analog mid format SLR. Also a fantastic and highly durable tool! THX for your review :)

[@Danielsallingjuhl]

Great review! I bought this model last week and I love everything about it. Keep up the good work.

[@369168]

thanks! I'm sure you and your Speedy will have lots of great adventures together :)

[@369168]

the Speedmaster is truly one an icon. thanks so much for watching :)

Title of your channel says it all and I really appreciate that. Excellent video, thank you for this great review. Subscribed and looking forward to new videos.

[@peterjg]

Thanks for the review - great job. The Speedy really is a classic! Please post a vid on the overhaul process.

[@369168]

As far as the Omega Boutique overhaul experience is concerned there won't be any footage of me going there or any video of the watch being overhauled. It will be a discussion of why I decided to overhaul the watch in the first place, my experience in deling with Omega, and a discussion of what really happens if you decide to bring your watch there for some work. I will also show my viewers the parts of the watch that were returned to me and subsequently replaced with new ones.

[@ILoveBANFF1974]

Great watch I just purchased one. Great video !!

[@369168]

I hope my video was able to add to Speedmaster knowledge base. The factoid about the camera is interesting. Thanks for sharing :)

Helo: Thank you very much for this great review of one of the most iconic watches ever. This watch remembers me when Omega made real measuring instruments. Now the new ceramic Speedmsters, etc. are luxury items. Regards. The Planetary Society Argentina.

[@Kewrock]

Absolutely waterproof to the deep end of the pool (12ft). I've been showering everyday and swimming and hot tubbbing occasionally for six years now. They're up to $4000 now. If Omega rates it for 150 feet, I'm sure it'll be OK.

[@369168]

Be careful of the hot tubing, I read that repeated exposure to the hot water will weaken the seals. Thanks for sharing your experiences ! :)

[@369168]

thanks for the info...I thought it was something that started with "hippo" just wasnt' sure at that moment. thanks for watching :)

[@nonenone3898]

Very nice review and watch. we all swallow so not too alarming. the watch is fantastic and the history is matched by its timeless looks. I love the hand wind thing its got going on and the trick second hand hack we can do with it. For me though its the way the optics ply when you look at the watch obliquely, the way the hands curve at the ends as if time its self was bending. Its so neat.

[@369168]

I love the history, the retro look to the watch, and the quality of the movement. thanks for watching

[@Renenko]

Greatest watch ever made.

[@369168]

Renenko definitely a wristwatch hall of famer. thanks for watching

[@Renenko]

At an age of 14, it will be awhile before I am able to get this watch. That's a shame, but when I do get it, I think it will have been worth the long wait.

[@369168]

Renenko in 4 years you'll be graduating high school, maybe you could convince your parents to get it for you as a graduation gift, if not, another 4 years and you'll have a college graduation to look forward to :)

[@panchoskywalker]

Renenko get a rep.

[@bengarcia9612]

+NO BULLS**T WRISTWATCH REVIEWS haha thanks that was my exact idea when i graduate because ever since before i was 10 my grandfather gave me a watch and i found another at the bottom of a lake and i went crazy then i went to houston and saw one of the speedies from the moon and i fell in love ive been patients waiting in awe until the day i could own one *sigh*

[@369168]

the one that made it to the moon was ref ST 145.012 which housed c321. This seems to be the general consensus

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Excellent video quality. Thank you for posting.

[@369168]

+mac daddy Thanks, always want to give you the next best thing to actually seeing the watch in person :)

[@Muamarz]

my dream watch... hopefully one day ill be able to own it.

[@369168]

I'm confident that your dream will be realized. this watch is reasonably priced and there are lots of preowned ones. I think it's a very accessible watch pricewise. thanks for watching.

[@FatSamEIE]

0% interest over 4 years available at a lot of places now

[@nonenone3898]

Just too note, this watch is still worn in space, photo dated 17th Aug 2017 very clearly shows the Omega Speedy Pro being worn on an EVA on that date. so that's 60 years after the watch was first distributed in 1957. Amazing heritage and to think still in the space programme out living mercury, Gemini Apollo, Space shuttle, All things especially designed for space. It is truly a story of longevity for an item designed for racing.

[@369168]

+1. thanks for watching !

[@CMFoodchannel]

that truely is a beautiful watch, I have to admit that.

[@369168]

ditto that! :) thanks for watching

[@mustaphasabli1985]

very good video. i would have thought u would add the usage of the chrono at 2 as the date, but then again that's under tip and tricks.

[@369168]

Mustapha Sabli I vaguely recall that it was possible to use one of the subdials to keep track of the date, but I can't recall how it was done. thanks for watching

[@FatSamEIE]

@@369168 just set the main second hand to whatever the date is and advance one second every morning when you wind the watch. I use this function for work and it works fine and also enable the omega symbol to be seen (as the chrono hand covers it up when facing 12)

[@harrow2355]

I purchased a 3570.50,but they put the Japanese grey dial with lumo hands and markers,does it devalue because of the different dial?or should I put the original black dial back on?also do they hold value because i have seen on Chrono 24 with the same dial as my watch the 3570.50 going from 7k up to 14k,my watch is 9.5 out of 10,and this watch is from Geneva with box and certificate,I actually just purchased from Sydney,for an overhaul here it costs $1030 aud,not cheap but everything that needs replacing they will do that,thanks.

[@miniovechkin8]

Hey great video, really appreciate the high level of explanation. I was wondering - I noticed there are a handful of different Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph Moon Watch (different ID numbers)...Could you explain the difference between all of these? And which one would be most valuable and why? I heard the one with the see-through backing was the one you'd want...but this video makes me think otherwise... Thanks for all your help

[@369168]

+miniovechkin8 There are indeed many Speedmaster variants. One variant has a Sapphire crystal and a dsiplay back for example. Other variants may be limited editions, and now there are Speedmasters with Coaxial movements. Way too many variants to discuss in this small space :). In terms of most "valubable" its hard to say. You would have to factor in rarity, and what such a Speedmaster would command on the open market. Sorry if I can't be more specific but valuation is a tricky thing, and I'm far , far from any expertise in this area. I'm just a guy who likes watches. Thanks for watching.

[@369168]

Thanks for watching:)

[@CountZero78]

"don't wear it in the shower" Seriously some people are to precious when it comes to their speedmaster. It's the most rugged watch out there. I've had mine for twelve years; swam with it, showered, hasn't been serviced and still keeps the time.

[@369168]

CountZero78 As far as the shower is concerned, the greater worry is the hot water, supposedly not good for the gaskets. Yes, the Speedmaster does have more than enough water resistance for swimming, but I guess I'm overly cautiouos depend on watch in is.

[@minskwatcher]

I quickly noticed something is wrong. This is in fact a 60fps youtube video... Also thanks for the review. Probably I'll go with the 3573 though.

[@369168]

thanks for watching, but I don't quite follow what your referring to. the video seems smooth to me. can you please explain this to me? I'm not that knowledgeable with video/camera stuff other than how to use the basic functions. thanks

[@minskwatcher]

NO BULLS**T WRISTWATCH REVIEWS Certainly I can explain that. I'm not saying it is not smooth. In fact it is smoother than usual. Most of the youtube videos are about 30 frames per second. Yours is 60. This is easy to notice when you are moving the watches quickly in the video.

[@369168]

some more questions: is 60 "better" than 30?, I don't do anything special when I upload my videos, how does one control whether its 30 or 60?. is the fps an inherent property of the camcorder i'm using (ie no control over the fps)? thanks for your patience with these questions

[@minskwatcher]

NO BULLS**T WRISTWATCH REVIEWS Your camera seems to record 60fps videos. It is quite a common thing nowadays. 60 gives a better impression in dynamic scenes. You don't have to do anything on youtube to make it work. It does all the stuff automatically. So don't worry about it:)

[@369168]

minskwatcher thanks for the explanations. much appreciated.

[@369168]

The lume is only on the hr/min hands, the minute indices, and the tip of the Chrono hand. There is no lume on the sundial hands

[@MrPleers]

Such a nice watch. I don't like chronograph watches.(Too busy watchfaces). But this one....that black and white contrast....I like it a lot.

[@369168]

As far as chronographs are concerned the Speedmaster's dial is probably one of the least busy out there. I've always found it easy to read. I've always had a soft spot for chronographs :)

[@MrPleers]

It's a matter of personal taste of course. As for me,I prefer a hour,minute and seconds hand. And no date.

[@369168]

MrPleers I second that as far as the date is concerned.

Hey!!! Really a nice review man .can u review on omega speedmaster professional tintin watch??!!

[@datsunmadman]

I love this watch .

[@369168]

It is a real icon. As an aside the watch looks especially nice when direct sunlight hits the dial..something about the crystal gives it an additional vintage umph :)

[@369168]

I only have this speedmaster professional. what model is the "tintin"?? thanks for watching.

[@DaanM5]

Ref 311.30.42.30.01.004 ; It has a checkered red-white outer ring on the dial.

[@richardstevens8839]

this a timeless timeless design. this over the Daytona for sure

[@369168]

Richard Stevens I think both are classic chronographs with alot of history. I love'em both :)

[@harrow2355]

The Tin Tin is the 311.30.42.30.01.004,the price for this Omega watch is anything above 20k,if it's new never worn above 30k,I think a lot of these watches will increase in price like the Omega 3570.40 which is a good investment it's the Japanese model with lumo dial,it is increasing value always.

What was the other watch on the moon?

[@4t416]

My dad plans to get me this watch when I graduate high school. However I don't want to wind it every day.Do you think if I wear it everyday it will keep time well

[@369168]

it's probably best to get into the habit of winding it daily. Generally speaking a watches accuracy/precision is best if the mainspring is kept at a certain about of tension.

[@TheWayofGrace89]

T-vision3 X Dude, congrats!! Please do wind it every day, know that you're doing a service to yourself via a very traditional, daily routine task of powering your timepiece by yourself - and enjoy it!

[@369168]

agreed, make it a routine and wind it every day

Thanks man, now I feel mature enough to own my own Omega when I get into college.

sounds like a plan :), best of luck with the rest of your education

[@Tuna13]

How much did you pay for one back in 2004? I heard that Omega has done at least two price hikes since then and I'm curious has to how much the price increases have been relative to inflation.

[@369168]

+Tuan Dinh If I recall, with the 15% discount the salesman gave me and NYS sales tax at the time the total was about $ 2460. I don't have the sales receipt in front of me right now, but as soon as I find it I will see if my memory is correct or not.

Good review

[@369168]

+Ivan Ruskov thanks! hope it was helpful

[@369168]

But why is it called "tintin"? Thanks

[@zenodio3D]

I'm just taking a wild guess, but I believe it's called the Tintin Speedmaster because the checkered pattern on watch is identical to the pattern on the rocket in the "Destination Moon" episode/comic issue of Tintin.

[@369168]

Tobias Loholt I'm usually up on my pop culture but I've never heard of a comic called 'Tintin" :)

[@zenodio3D]

NO BULLS**T WRISTWATCH REVIEWS​ I'm surprised, Tintin is an old comic written by a Belgian cartoonist called Hergé. The first issue was released in 1929 and has been a huge influence on adventure movies ever since, The Adventures of Tintin is quite famous by now, or at least in the Western European area. I grew up watching the cartoons and have been a big fan of the series ever since I first started watching it. It's obvious that the Indiana Jones movies were hugely influenced by the Tintin series. May I ask where you live? Maybe Tintin wasn't such a big deal in your area. If you Google: Tintin Rocket You can clearly see the resemblance between the rocket designed by Hergé and the "Tintin" Speedmaster. Either way, I hope that cleared things up a little :)

[@michaelma8323]

thanks for the info. i just googled "tin tin rocket" and not know why that particular speedmaster was referred to as "tintin"...thanks for your explanation!

[@richardburns9772]

HATE the bracelet but love the watch

[@exoticmale33]

why would you not take this watch for a swim or shower? If seals are good condition, then its safe. IOmega says 50 M WR so i will go by Omega. And Yes I have taken this for swim

[@369168]

I did not imply that you couldn't swim or shower with them. The watch's WR is obviously more than enough for those activities. The Speedmaster just wasn't designed as a diving or swimming watch, so if I had to swim I would rather use a bonafide diving watch

[@RichardMajor86]

[@won01419]

how much was overhaul??$$??

[@369168]

the overhaul was done by Omega and cost $ 773.01. It is expensive and depending on the watch in question I would not necessarily have the manufacturer do the overhaul. Most of my other watches go to independent watch makers which are less expensive

[@won01419]

I see. Thank you for the comment!

[@harrow2355]

In Australia it costs $1030.00 aud,its exspensive but the comprehensive detail is thorough,Complete Service,replace pushers,crowns,dial anything that seems it needs replacing,its like a lube and tube up just like a car,so everything that needs replacing you will get replaced with new parts,also they give you back the old parts and give details on why replaced.

[@jacobpalmer127]

dude, "tri-compax" does not mean a chronograph with three sub-dials. the omega speedmaster is not a tri-compax chronograph.

[@369168]

+Jacob Palmer when I say "tri compax" i am referring the the 3,6,9 layout of the subdials, not the fact that it has 3 subdials. another popular configuration would be a 12, 9, 6 layout.

[@jacobpalmer127]

NO BULLS**T WRISTWATCH REVIEWS "tri-compax" does not mean a 3,6,9 layout of the subdials either.

[@369168]

+Jacob Palmer In what context is "tri compax " used?

[@369168]

+Jacob Palmer Yes, I have used "tricompax" incorrectly. Apparently it was a term and/or specific model of a Universal Geneve that had day, date, month and moonphase.

[@jasonwilson7674]

It's a shame it doesn't have the extra 50 metres Water resistance, then I would not be in fear of swimming with it

[@mysteryman3666]

+Jason Wilson But well, it's impossible for chronographs to be that waterproof to begin with since its design means that water could get through the gaps around the pushers anyway. Unless the pushers are sealed screw-down types like the ones on the Rolex Daytona and Tudor Chronograph, it's safer to assume that they aren't waterproof at all.

[@jasonwilson7674]

Yeah thanks. I'll just have to settle for using my seiko in the water

[@FatSamEIE]

@@mysteryman3666 the screw down feature merely stops accidently pressing of the pushers and has no real baring on the actual WR

[@bessiebraveheart]

i have two of these speedmasters in my collection. most of the components are thin cheaply made pressings. the profit margin on these watches must be astronomical. now the movements in my vintage watches are of a far better quality. i restore antique pocket watches, and no, the movements in the omegas are kosha. it is the way things are being done these days. the law of diminishing returns.

[@Baron118118]

NO BULLS**T WRISTWATCH REVIEWS you say not to wear it in the shower, what about if it starts raining outside? will it be ok?

[@369168]

Should not be a problem. I've had this happen to me more than a few times.

[@369168]

I think the problem with wearing it in the shower is the hot water, it may do something to the gaskets? The Speedmaster's WR should theoretically allow you to swim with it but I would worry about water entering from the Chrono push buttons. If the push buttons were screwed down like the ones on the Rolex Daytona I would not worry as much. The bottom line is that the Speedmaster is not a watch designed for the water regardless of the WR rating hence my conservative stance on whether you should shower or swim with it.

[@Baron118118]
