I purchased my first Speedmaster in 2018, but later flipped it to purchase another watch. I realized the error of my ways - and came to the conclusion I needed a Speedmaster in my collection. I just bought the new version (3861) - and couldn’t be more happy with it! Refined and improved, I had no idea of the changes in the movement, the thickness, and the incredible bracelet with micro adjustment. Omega hit a home run with this iconic watch! I absolutely love it.

[@joey_mck]

I just found out that my fiancée has gotten me one of these for her wedding present to me. I’ve been watching tons of these reviews in excitement and yours is one of the best. Thanks for the hard work!

[@virgilhowarth7394]

Bought one last month and am thrilled with it. Had a 1995 model years ago which I sold, but this model far surpassed it as for accuracy, wearability, and appearance. Love it. This one is a life time watch.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

You made a great buy 👍

[@thegrailhunter]

Great review. I agree with you, the best update to the speedy in many years. I finally pulled the trigger and got it a couple of months ago and I’m over the moon. I opted for the sapphire version after a lot of research into the actual specification from NASA back in the days. They did not have any requirements regarding the crystal and the only reason the approved watch had a hesalite crystal was that it was the Omega go to crystal at the time for this watch. It’s the nicest watch I’ve ever had and I feel so happy every time I look at it.

[@conorbarry1928]

"Over the moon", I see what you did there :)

[@thegrailhunter]

@@climbmaintain You mean like the SKYWALKER X‑33 that is the watch used by NASA on the ISS. The one with a sapphire crystal 🤔

[@jorgerobles628]

Some parts of your comment are not accurate. As explained by Watchfinder and quote: "Acrylic, the versatile plastic behind everything from hard contact lenses to paints, offers a considerable benefit over glass when used as a watch crystal: toughness. While not as hard as glass and therefore less scratch resistant, acrylic offers twice the resistance to fracturing-and any light marks can simply be polished out. It's propensity to crack instead of shatter on failure is also beneficial, maintaining its structure and therefore reducing the overall damage to the watch. It's why it's used in submarine windows. Acrylic comes under a multitude of a trademarks, including Plexiglass, Perspex and, of course, Hesalite. This toughness was the motivation behind NASA's decision to retain acrylic for the Speedmaster's crystal when it was selected as the official watch of the Apollo program. Omega did offer to swap the Hesalite out for a newer, harder material-sapphire crystal-however NASA determined that that the failure characteristics of acrylic were favourable to the propensity of sapphire to shatter in the same way as glass. The consequence of a thousand tiny shards of very sharp sapphire floating in zero gravity drove the decision to stick with the tried and tested Hesalite".

[@thegrailhunter]

@@jorgerobles628 Watchfinder is not NASA. What I’m saying is that I haven’t seen any NASA documents that support the Hesalite argument. Furthermore the cabin was full of other instruments that had glass lenses on them. I’ll be more than happy to revise my opinion when some actual proof is available instead of hearsay and quote from 3rd party sources n

This is probably the sickest intro to a Speedmaster watch video I've ever seen. Amazing work.

[@hultii]

Just got the sapphire version, my first Omega and my first expensive watch (at least for me). I absolutely love it.

[@philiplauzon1743]

I sold my 1861 for the 3861 last week and everything you said sums up what I think. I absolutely love it, much more comfortable on the wrist and easier to wind

[@timhernandez2101]

I picked up this same version a week ago today and I couldn't be happier. I previously owned an 1861 and could never bond with it, this one is a totally different story. It checks all the boxes. I was apprehensive about only two micro adjustments but it fits perfectly. I'm a bigger guy (6'2 265) and I was concerned about the 15mm taper on my wrist but it isn't an issue at all. I also own a Planet Ocean 43.5 and wore it today for the first time, went home at lunch and put the Speedmaster back on if that tells you anything. I've watched several videos on this piece and yours is by far the best! I liked and subscribed, anxious to see more of your work. Thanks...

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Thanks Tim! Congrats and enjoy your new addition 👍

[@brentlucke8713]

The sunken sundials really make the dial for me. Hopefully I can afford one of these co-axial speedies, someday!

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

A great watch to work toward Brent, they did a great job revamping this one!

[@ThetrueAP]

I have to say, having avoided buying a speedy pro i tried this on in the boutique and fell in love. I have a speedy racing reverse panda 40mm which is a lovely size and felt the 42 original speedy a little big but this new case and tapered bracelet has really changed the feel of the watch. Its now firmly on my list - amazing video - bravo!

[@chaoticpanda-bb9bx]

I wouldnt buy it from omega, you’ll pay twice what it’s worth. Go grey market.

[@doug4307]

Je suis horloger diplômé, collectionneur Omega et JLC et un ami de feu Marco Richon, conservateur historique et célébre du musée Omega à Bienne. Il me semble que la tranche du boitier de cette nouvelle version à l'air plus épaisse que l'ancienne version d'origine de la Speedmaster. La montre est très belle avec une réitération du style de la Moon watch de la fin des années 60 au niveau des aiguilles et surtout de la trotteuse et des poussoirs. Maintenant pour avoir des modèles à échappements co-axials, je peux vous assurer que ce type d'échappement, bien qu'il apporte au mouvement de base 861 une plus grande stabilité de marche sur de longues périodes d'utilisation ,son seul gros défaut, c'est l'arrêt complet total dû aux déchaussement d'une ou des levées sur l'ancre, elles sont plus épaisses que ceux d'une ancre de type suisse classique à cause de l'ébat et jeux verticale. Donc au bout de 7 à 10 ans suivant le fait que vous la portez continuellement ou pas, vous aurez un arrêt définitif qui demandera une intervention du service omega. l'ancienne version 1861 ou 861 pourra largement fonctionné plus longtemps sans entretien mais avec une précision qui se dégradera au fil du temps. Aussi, les ressorts moteurs étaient réputés pour se casser au bout de 4 à 5 ans en moyenne. Cela m'est arrivé de changer en moins d'un an le ressort moteur. Seul point faible de ces calibres. Les pièces détachées sur les co-axials sont quasiment indisponibles à la vente aux horlogers indépendants à part les pièces communes au 861. J'avais réussis à resouder les palettes d'échappements sur l'ancre co-axial avec la résine végétal, mais le résultat était moyen quant à la précision. Chez omega , ils changent les organes d'échappements , roues et ancres.

I'm a little late to the party, but after selling many watches during the last months, I just bough the new 2021 speedmaster. I've consolidated my collection, now I believe less is more. Now I can't keep looking at reviews while I wait for mine! Great review!

I love Omega's connection to Dr. George Daniels - ie. the co-axial escapement. His approach to horology was uncompromising and just knowing that same philosophy lives within this Speedmaster (or many Omegas) is tantalizing. Great video (especially those macro shots!) and keep up the great work!

Picked up mine this weekend. We all have our critiques of the piece but they really hit it out of the ball park. It’s stellar.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Winner winner chicken dinner! :)

[@TheGunDude]

I really don’t know how they can improve for the next generation. Making the power reserve better is literally the only thing I can think of. But physical appearance, they’ve absolutely nailed it in every single way.

[@kobirob6864]

I have the last generation Speedy and I think it's almost worth upgrading to the 3861 just for the new bracelet alone

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Turns out the new bracelet fits the last gen case 👍

[@robinhook37]

Thumb up before you even said a word :) I did the same thing, bought it from the AD the moment I tried it on my wrist, despite owning a few Speedies in my collection. The differences are subtle, but surely impactful! On power reserve, many have tested it and I did it too, it's about 65 hours from full to stop, instead of the 50 hours listed in the specs. I think Omega listed it as 50 for the sake of meeting the Metas requirement of accuracy at low power, as I did observe it runs considerably faster at the last 10-15 hours. Feel free to give it a try!

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Wow, very interesting Robin. I would expect it to slow down as it runs low on power

[@robinhook37]

@@WatchCrunchOfficial Yup, I checked on my notes again. Mine is running a bit fast to begin with, especially resting dial up on the table. At full power it is about +3.5s/day. My measurement indicates the first 24 hours at 3.7s/day, the 2nd day was about 6s/day, and from the 50th hour to 65th, it measured 11s/day. Other positions should make it a bit slower. I've seen 2 versions of technical explanation on accuracy and power. One graph from Archer (the respected watchmaker at Omega Forum) indicates most movements slow down as amplitude drops. But I also see others commenting that frequency will increase due to the "pendulum length" shortens as amplitude drops. I'd trust Archer more, but this watch surly demonstrated the other way... so I don't know. :P

[@Niro_Hero]

I got the sapphire version. It’s an amazing piece. I actually took it to the Rolex boutique to try out some two tones, and the sales rep couldn’t keep it’s eyes from it and kept asking me about the watch.

[@jgo8305]

Finally got my 3861 hesalite speedy and still have to come back and watch this badass intro

[@RedwoodAggie]

I don't know that I would upgrade if I owned the previous generation, but the upgrades do have me even more interested in getting one. I agree with you on the power reserve. 2 more hours isn't much of an increase for such a dramatically upgraded movement. With so much else coming in with 60-70 hours now a days, I think 70 would be great, especially for a hand wound movement. The one bummer about the hesalite version is not being able to see that gorgeous movement. That would likely push me toward the sapphire model. I have a milestone birthday next year, and I am seriously thinking of getting the new Speedy Moon watch, especially since Rolex killed off the 39mm Explorer (36 is too small for my wrist/height).

I like to wind my watch every day. I don't want an increase on a manual winder time. Thats half the joy!

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

You don't have to wind it to full each time 😉

[@ccw5886]

Long power reserves are just not required for 'normal' people with just one watch. That's just about everybody who buys a watch. Not the weird obsessive collector community. To wind my watch each morning takes precisiely 22 winds. To fully wind it takes 25 and then you reach the stop or tension point. Doing this each morning as I drink my first coffee is what I love about a manual wind piece. The relationship is cultivated and dependent and the relationship is forged. It becomes part of you. If I want a long power reserve I will get a quartz. :)

Have seen many videos on this watch. Yours was one of the more enjoyable. The only 'flaw' in this watch, as you mentioned, is the power reserve. I think a sweet spot would be atleast 10 hours past however many days it can go, in this case 58. That way you can just wind it every other day without having to worry about missing your window if you slept in or got distracted. Two hours is cutting it close. Great watch, classic looks, it will be mine.

[@johnnyguitar6697]

Great watch, and I love it. Though people should be aware that the 3861 movement has teething problems. The chronograph function on my 4 months old hesalite has started acting up (stops at 58 seconds, which also stops the running second and the watch altogether). Did a bit of research and it's not an uncommon ocurrence for people who use the chrono function frequently. Dropped it yesterday at the Omega shop, who told me I should have it back in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed that they fix the issue permanently.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Oh good info Johnny. Mine's running ok, but I am gonna double check right now ;)

[@johnnyguitar6697]

@@WatchCrunchOfficial Since you're into Omega Speedmaster's, do take the time to read carefully through this thread: omegaforums.net/threads/3861-movement-broken.120071/ The issue that affects my watch has affected a number of others, and is basically down to a design flaw in the bushing connecting the center wheel to the main plate. They seem to have corrected this as of June 2021 (changed the bushing), but virtually all watches produced before then are susceptible to develop this issue over time. Not to say that they all will, and it depends on the watch usage, as apparently this affects predominantly people who use the chronograph function regularly. But the potential for trouble is there, until the watch is serviced by Omega and this bushing is changed. This means that all of us who have bought the Speedmaster Professional in the first few months after its release in January 2021 (and the ones who have bought the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary or the Moonshine) are beta testers of the new movement. Oh, and Omega has known about the problem since at least September 2020.

[@ykkim902]

As a first time luxury watch buyer, who has been eyeing on brands like Rolex, Omega, and Tudor, I have one subjective question, how do you justify price hike on the latest speedmaster ?

According to technical data, the sapphire version is only inside. The other versions like snoopy are the ones with double sided coating, if I remember it correctly.

Happy with my 1863 Sapphire Sandwich, not sure if the new improvements is enough of a worthwhile upgrade IMO. Purchased mines for £4,000 and the new version is £6120 for the sapphire and £5370 for the hesalite in the UK.

[@shaagaknowsyou5295]

The sapphire is fucking £7400 now. I wish I bought it last year! Instead I went for a BB58😵

[@Rob-lu8me]

Good review. It’s a winner. I’d still like to get the 1861 in Heselite to go Along side the 3861 Sapphire … that movement is too good to hide !

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

I wish they would do the display caseback on the hesalite! :)

[@mpikers]

I purchased the last gen Speedy in October of 2020 and I sold it last month. This new version addresses all of my complaints regarding the bracelet, case back thickness and lackluster timekeeping. Looks like a winner.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Yep! It's nice that a company actually responds to our little complaints to evolve an icon. 👏👏 omega

Oh, you got it...that's awesome man!💪

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Great video... You deserves more subscribers !

Thanks Sebastien! 👍

I want this watch but the biggest box it does not tick for me is an easy on-the-fly adjustable clasp. I have read some people mod the watch by swapping out the clasp with the chronoscope's clasp, but, I think the adjustable claps should be included on all modern watches. It's 2022, there's no excuse. Won't hold my breath for an update anytime soon though.

[@Valera_Scotland]

I think the newest ones now have a few micro adjust points

"A half centimeter thinner" lol!

[@jamieday2642]

Damn, your vid really makes me question my decision of choosing SMP300 over Moonwatch!

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Well, you have a new watch to save towards. Probably have 2.5 decades to do that😉

[@atl3630]

Nah, SMP300 is better

[@MrBulletpoint]

@@atl3630 guess it's down to personal taste / enjoyment. To me the SMP300 especially in that blue dial is gorgeous and looks the part, esp if you're vain and like to impress non watch enthusiasts :-) the speedy is much more understated. I'm getting it next , though :-)

[@anthonystevens8683]

The Speedy was on my radar a while back but I ended up with an SM300M great white but that speedy itch carried on and on. A great classic manual wind watch is certainly worth saving for. Ideally take your time and have both at some point. You can't really compare an SM300 with the Speedy, different watches, totally different movements, different personalities I'm certain my purchase of my SM300 was the right choice with a Speedy in line to follow.

[@thefwenkmeister972]

You are a very dangerous man, last time i watched your 38mm co-axial video i bought that watch, now that i've seen this one i bought this too :p Love the videos and can't wait to wear my 3861, i went for the sapphire this time cuz my 1861 was a hesalite

[@erythuria]

100m WR would really have sealed it for me.

[@willielarsson9651]

Me too, I want a daily wearer on holiday without worrying about the beach and pool!

[@mikec3454]

It is a bit surprising that Omega didn’t do that to really bring it over the top. Giving it a 100m WR would have been just as significant as the 3861 movement. If Cartier can update the Santos to 100m without screw down, I have no doubt Omega can do the same. Part of me thinks that if put to the test, the Speedy could very well survive 100m, but I wouldn’t test it with my watch. Upgrade the gaskets already, Omega!

[@chnzwh01]

Thanks for the detailed review! Is the seahorse medallion on the caseback still protruding like the one on the old watch?

[@ramakrishnanramki9115]

When will the next iteration of this watch will launch?? I hope to be ready by then!
