Today I’m reunited with a new for 2021 release of the most iconic chronograph of all time-the Omega Speedmaster Moon watch.
In this video we’ll compare the 2021 version to previous generations, discuss what's been updated, its illustrious history, and what I love and loathe about it. Join me for another independent and unsponsored review told from the perspective of a watch enthusiast, for watch enthusiasts.
So, why did I sell all my Speedies? What caused my obsession with them to end? Will this latest release win me back? Or has Omega further undervalued it with yet another version to cash in on its Nasa Apollo 11 fame? Love them or hate them, one cannot deny it's a fascinating story, so settle in and prepare to take off into the world of the Speedmaster!

Great intro. the music! your review corroborates my initial impressions of the new 2021 Speedmaster 3861. I couldn't resist this one and picked up the Sapphire on steel model yesterday. I'm proud to report that I couldn't be happier with this acquisition. I truly hope you rekindle your love for the Speedy TGV. Any viewer of the channel knows how much it has meant to you over the years, but I understand how you might not gravitate toward to the moonwatch forever, especially as you've stated you have smaller wrists. On my 7" wrist, this watch fits better than the old model ever could. What an update.

I got off Yelp a few years ago and I'm starting to have the same feeling about KZbin and KZbinrs. They only way to get attention is to "love or loathe" something. Everything can't be 1 or 5 stars, but polarizing remarks generate clicks and game the algorithms. (BTW, I am very happy with my previous version Speedmaster in Hesalite)

I have several chronographs, including a Speedmaster. I'm considering getting another Speedmaster through a deal with one of my other watches. I have this to say: My Speedmaster is my most reliable chronograph. It's also the oldest, being from 1969; my other chronographs are from mid 90's to 2019, and have all been acting up from time to time. My potentially 2nd Speedmaster is one with a cal. 321 (all Speedy-fans should have a cal. 321 if they can afford one!). My current Speedmaster is a "transitional", that is, the very first with the cal 861.

The second track is not less precise .. it is more precise because it is better aligned with the frequency of the movement. The 1/5 second track only made sense with the 321 movement … they maintained that 1/5 second track but it was useless because the chronograph track does not align !! If you look closely with the 1/3 of a second track the chronograph hand aligns perfectly

I just bought my new sapphire sandwich and I got it at an incredible deal. It is by far a thing of beauty! I absolutely love it!!!! and that's an understatement. Every time I look at it, it's just amazing. I would reconsider buying as it is far above the previous speedys. I love it! If in to a room, people will notice and respect this iconic masterpiece. I am a novice for sure, but I am loving this. If there's any doubt weather you should invest in this piece, I would say, go for the gusto as it will only become more iconic as time passes. I love mine and I'm sure you will love yours.

The decrease in hashmarks is meant to represent the true frequency of the caliber : 3hz = 6 ticks per second divided by two = 3 marks. The 1861-63 was 3hz also but the marks were inappropriate, inherited from the 321 reference with 2.5hz (= 5 ticks per second)

TGV - thanks as always for the high production values and story telling. Question for you: Seeing much internet discussion about the physical sharp edges of the new Speedy, and at other times push back against such claims. What was your experience? Were the machine edges sharper than the older version, would they give you a hot spot on your wrist or did the watch you handled feel just as non sharp or sharp as the prior version you had in the video?

@stefanogoldoni5059 2 жыл бұрын
I got my 3861 Speedy in July and I've been wearing it every day since. Are the edges sharper than my 1995 861 caliber? Certainly. Do they create any problems on your wrist or make the watch less comfortable? Absolutely not. The edges a little sharp but are no razor blades and you notice them only when you pick up the watch in the morning or pass the tip of you finger along them. My advice is don't be afraid of getting one for this reason if you love it.

Thank you in advance for the answers.

I will express obviously a very subjective and personal opinion here, but no other watch in history has been this cool so effortlessly. Even despite the overbearing marketing tilt of Omega with "duh, we've been to the moon first" and other space stuff - it is deserved, there's nothing else to say really. Ignoring all that it's still an incredibly honest and unpretentious timepiece, which becomes an increasing rarity in a world of expensive luxury watches. It somehow still retains the attitude of "I'm meant to do work". It's the kind of watch you want to wear everyday. Also, it's one of those watches that look infinitely better in person than on any footage or picture I've seen. It somehow comes off as somewhat cheapened on pictures, but holding it and looking up close that feeling completely dissipates.

It's worth noting that the precision hasn't been affected by the reduction in hash count for the outer chronograph track. The seconds hand can now be stopped on and in-between the hashes, allowing for timing up to 1/6th of a second. The 1861's hashes were never updated despite the change in beat rate from 321 to 861.

@@Valera_Scotland nobody does, even if you needed too, no human has the ability to push a button accurately enough anyways. Find me the guy that can accurately time something with a watch up to 1/6th of a second, and we can talk, ha! I actually found the opposite, I bought the new 3861 version, as i prefer the cleaner looking dial, and of course the movement, leaps and bounds over the old 1861. I do have the FOIS as well, which houses the 1861, and love it, so you really can't go wrong.

It's a metas certified watch. Meaning it is good for 50m water resistance. Theres watch mechanics on the Omega forums who have discussed this over and over again. You can swim to a depth of 50m with this watch, with no issue. End of discussion.

I owned one for two years. Only watch I regret selling (in order to fund a Submariner). Looks like I'm gonna have to get it again (and thus pay more than I did then as well, regettably).

My experience with the speedmaster is vice versa - I never was interested in it, until I put it on my wrist in the BKK duty free in 2019 (20% discount) - it became my favorite watch until today, and for me it doesn’t need any changes...pure love on the “second glance”🙂

Great review as always! Very interesting commentary at the end. I have also long been an admirer of the Speedy, but I have to admit when I tried one on recently (this model) I was immediately underwhelmed. It was nice, but...there was just something missing, especially at the RRP they’re charging now. By comparison, the TAG Heuer Monaco really took me by surprise - now that really did feel something truly special. I’ll save my pennies for the time being, but I think it’s important to try stuff on and see it in the metal!

Would love to see the Speedmaster take on two branches. Keep the hesalite model as close to the original for the purists and make the sapphire version the modern rendition. Give it all the bells and whistles, sapphire display case and crystal, 100m water resistance, ceramic bezel. If you're going to branch off might as well go all the way and make it a super watch. Great review and happy to see that you got to have your hands on one of these again!
