I bought this watch 2 years ago. It was my first mechanical watch purchase. I bought it as a gift to myself on my most special day (my marriage). After almost 2 years now, having come across many luxurious watches, i am pretty sure there is no other watch that I would prefer over this one. It is just perfect in each and every way.

This video is a bit of a throwback to the old talking hands videos that made me fall in love with watches. I hope this type of video continue on

[@luispadilla2212]

Save your money and buy this watch. You will never regret it.

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

I never wanted it until I bought the moonswatch and loved the design and proportions. I’m saving for it now.

[@nedflanders3769]

@@WatchesCanBeFun keep saving up. It’s worth it. Fantastic watch.

I purchased my Omega Speedmaster (861) in 1971 at the US Navy Exchange in Yokosuka, Japan. At the time, everyone was enamored with the moon landing and wanted to get a "piece of the action". I've recently had it overhauled by Omega. It had to go back to Switzerland, due to it's age. I was also advised to keep the dial and hands original to preserve the traditional look. The lume no longer works, but even after almost 54 years it still turns heads and starts conversations.

Now that is legacy

[@knutvonheim3838]

Awesome!!

[@gpapa31]

By far the most iconic chronograph ever created and along with the Submariner one of the most significant wrist tool watches ever devised.

[@bubbabfp1]

I love my 3861 Sapphire Sammich! My dreamwatch!

[@MrVoayer]

Informative, funny and thoroughly enjoyable ! And it has to be seen several times to pick up all the names, years, gears and wheels ! Excellent video !!!

[@LAM_AUT_ECU]

It is the best watch around. There are more well-finished watches, watches with better price-benefit ratios, and even more desired watches but this is a classic watch, elegant and sporty, very little changed in 60+ years and it is and will always be the first watch worn on the Moon.

[@christopherk7920]

If there's one watch I will wear for life, it would be the classic Speedmaster Moonwatch

[@MaartenAnna]

Thanks for this enlightening history lesson. Gotta love me a Speedy, but I have to settle for the MoonSwatch Mission to Mars on a white tropical strap (Which runs +2 seconds per month). That white dial is stunning mind, wish they’d do that in a 39mm, then I’d think about it.

[@yungdadi]

I wish images of the alternative choices were included in the video for virtual references

[@daddylee8514]

Winding it every day (3861)! Not every few. Yup, it's 50hr power reserve, but you want to wind that baby daily for best performance. Part of the morning ritual. 😘 I don't think there's a watch with a better story. And adopting Mr Daniels escapement on the more recent models is just the icing on the cake. For the watch buffs, some of GD's 'works of art' can be found in the Science Museum in London😉

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

I never wanted this watch until I bought the moonswatch. I love the proportions and the design and I want the full experience in steel. I’m saving for it now.

[@GMack17]

I just acquired the 1957 reissue. I absolutely love it. I wish it had a 321 in it but still.

[@rayhoskins4478]

Yes, it is one of if not the most iconic watches ever.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

How could I resist watching this, I just picked up a FOIS and it doesn’t disappoint. Review coming!

[@toneswinger]

I picked one up too and it's a beauty

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

@ just ordered the Forstner flat link classic bracelet for it! Must have

[@jorgepedrofernandes]

You went back to the time when WF videos were just about one watch. Good move. You should mix both formats more often.

[@ALL-il1sw]

What I admire about this watch is that it transcends wealth classes. You can buy this at almost any price point, truly bringing the community together.

[@robt.9237]

Just bought a dark side of the moon. Love it !

[@joshthediredog7372]

Just bought mine a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it!!!

[@DukeTDang]

Going to get this for my 50th

The Speedmaster is The Watch

[@robalexander7348]

Thank you Tom, a nice review on the Speedmaster 👍 Au

[@nickkincanon4582]

I’ve owned this watch. I can be rightly accused of being fussy, but I didn’t enjoy the winding experience. The crown guards made it difficult and even a little uncomfortable for me. Given that is a manual wind, it eventually became a deal killer for me. I wish there was a non-vintage version without crown guards. Otherwise it’s perfect. I don’t see many other folks barking about this, so probably just bothers me more than most. 😊

[@ralfybaby]

Check out the "Ed White."

[@VectorSearch]

Yes the ed white 321 is the way. I want one of these!

[@JamesAlexander14]

Best watch in my collection.

[@phmwu7368]

2:52 After the tests NASA received the first batch of Speedmaster chronographs on April 23, 1965. The Gemini III mission was March 23, 1965 during which the crew Virgil Grissom and John Young each wore a battery-powered Accutron Astronaut GMT pilot watch and a manual winding Omega Speedmaster chronograph. Officially the Omega Speedmaster was flight-qualified on June 1, 1965 so Gemini IV was the first mission to officially use the Omega Speedmaster chronographs with James McDivitt and Edward White each wearing two Omega Speedmaster chronographs. Why, check video: " Ed White Gemini 4 Omega Speedmaster Spacewalk. 4 Speedmasters on Gemini 4 " Just check #AskOmega and find a dozen questions none of the KZbinrs can answer about the Speedmaster !

[@mehmetcamat4458]

I think it is the best watch ever

[@stefanogoldoni5059]

Yes, It is.

[@judithleete-warschun6852]

bought mine in 1969 still love it!

[@williamotto2725]

Is it harmful to the mechanism to let the larger second hand run continuously when wearing every few days?

[@Rodolfoguerra12]

No. You can leave it running.

[@winamelo]

Thanks!

[@ralfybaby]

You can but why would you subject your mechanical watch to unnecessary wear?

[@winamelo]

Guess I’m used to seeing a larger moving second hand. All the watch videos show a moving second hand.

[@Paul-tk2my]

I’d want the 321 movement but I expect they’re rare. Whether a column wheel is better is debatable but you don’t get that jump when you start the chrono. It’s also got a bimetallic balance

[@BuzzOff.]

Have the black and white 3861’s in my collection.👏🇦🇺

[@Marcin120988]

I guess the gas tank manufacturer didn’t get a snoopy award

Meanwhile I have the only 44mm real speedmaster with automatic co axial calibre 3313c and date complication.

[@snoogiebug]

Yep. That’s a watch alright.

[@alaincote6684]

I want to be a " speed freak "

[@cosmodoc]

The 38mm looks much better on my wrist

[@canadutch66]

Did you really have to try this hard to imitate Andrew Morgan’s voice style?

[@2301Moose]

[@crouchingmole]

Speed master is perfect BUT - no one went to the Moon! I wonder if speedies drop in value, prestige once people wake up. OK you're right sheeple are NEVER going to wake up to anything.
