Hands-on: OMEGA Speedmaster “Ed White” Calibre 321 in stainless steel

[@WatchAdvisor]

PLEASE do also read the description of this video to discover even more details... Looking forward reading your comments and answering your questions...

[@MichaelGross1]

I’ve seen this watch in person and it is an absolute exquisite, magnificent watch! I think what most people get wrong with this particular model is that they compare it with the normal Speedmaster and think Omega just changed the movement and then charges double the price. But everything about this watch is on an entire different level than the regular model - the finishing, the details, the whole look and feel is just much more luxurious. It is like an old Porsche 911 built from scratch with much better materials and the advantages of modern manufacturing. Yes, the new 911 might be faster (as is the normal Speedmaster more accurate) - but the rebuilt version is just much more spectacular.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Wonderful comparison - so true!!! Love your comment, thanks for sharing!

[@pistolpete224able]

I received my 321 on the 5th of January 2022 in Sydney Australia, what surprised me most was the elegance of the watch. It's a truly beautiful chronograph and one of the greatest watches a man can wear.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Bravo! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your passion and first impressions with us… May your Speedmaster always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours…

[@pistolpete224able]

@@WatchAdvisor Thank you, your videos on the subject of the 321 was spiritual food during the 10 month wait for the watch. Although I wore a two tone Daytona for many years, my heart only ever belonged to the 321 Speedmaster. All my other watches filled the empty space while I dreamed for a couple of decades that Omega would start making the 321 Speedmaster.

[@wlchuccc]

Great piece! Fortunately I have received mine already! Couldn't love it more! Well done Omega!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Congratulations! What are your "first" impressions? Would you want to share this with us?

[@wlchuccc]

@@WatchAdvisor Thanks. The movement is amazing as we all know. What's more is that the bracelet is so comfy which is also kind of expected due to the similar bracelet that has been used in the AP 50th. It looks like a different speedy even from a distance. I love winding it each day! The only drawback of this reference is that it doesn't come with ITS special box! People said about the price tag. But these people should realise this may be one of the cheapest Lemania-based movements in the market. It was also done by one watchmaker! If that does not justify the price, I don't know what will! Anyone says no to this piece if its not because of the financial reason, he or she will regret it for sure!

I absolutely my 321. I bought it on June 3rd - same day of the week as that fateful walk in space, and I received the watch on the first Speedy Tuesday in June. The lume is incredible as stated in this video. Aside from the movement which is gorgeous, the case finishing and bracelet are stunning.

I've had a deposit down since June via the AD here in Los Angeles. I reckon I'll be watching this excellent video at least once a week until this beauty comes home. Thanks for the brilliant work. I think this watch is about as pure an homage to the magic of the Moonwatch as it gets.

Once you understand all the efforts Omega made to make this ultimate Speedmaster chronograph happen you will appreciate it and show respect. I have not seen any other brand doing anything comparable so far. The result simply is stunning! You get the "old" Speedmaster ST 105.003 done the way you do it in 2020 ...

Truly an incredible watch, this is going to change things for Omega. Daytona buyers are also going to fight to get hands on one of these. Thanks for the detailed lovely video as always :D

[@WatchAdvisor]

One shouldn't compare the Daytona with the Speedmaster and the Speedmaster with the Daytona... Why? Both watches together with the El Primero define the art of chronographs, are the leaders of the pack... are unique and have no competitors ...

[@varunu4176]

​@@WatchAdvisor I think what I wanted to convey came out in the wrong direction, The Cosmograph Daytona and the Speedmaster 321 would be an epic two watch chronograph collection, 321 being traditional while the Daytona is sporty. They would complement each other incredibly well in a collection. I didn't compare each other, I love all watches :)

I bought my first Speedmaster - the 3861 with hesalite - a few days ago for my fifthiest birthday. An old dream come true! Remembering that great video, I asked if by any chance they had the 321 around and had the chance to see it in person as one just arrived for its lucky new owner. It is a beauty to behold and... I had to put myself on the waiting list! I don't know when it will arrived, probably in more than a year. A good news as I have to put some money on the side to pay for it! Anyway I wanted to thank you Alexander for your beautiful video that brought me to learn about this amazing peace of horology! In the meantime I will enjoy my "regular" Speedmaster : so much better in real life and so confortable, even for a small wrist like mine, thanks to the new bracelet.

Great in-depth review Alexander with Gregory from Omega. I’ve been wanting to see the 321 in person. But as you know this is a limited production piece. Last night, I happen to go to an event that my Omega boutique invited me. It was a great event and was able to meet other watch enthusiasts. I was lucky to meet someone who had the 321 timepiece. She was nice enough to show me the watch. The bracelet is absolutely stunning. I’ve never seen a bracelet like this one. It is definitely lighter than the Moonwatch bracelet that I have. The 321 movement is absolutely beautiful. I could not stop looking at this well designed timepiece. I’m convinced that this will be my next watch in my collection. I have a special birthday coming up in the next few months and my boutique is aware of this special moment. Alexander, thank you again for all you do for our watch community.

I dreamed of a Speedmaster since I was 13. Then 6 months ago I finally had the money for as this was introduced. I thought ! Yeah here we go : straight lugs - old school style - that's mine ! Then I saw the price ... Got a FOIS instead as I couldn't wait to finally have a Speedmaster. But this one ist the next on my list ... This is my absolute Grail.

This is an upmarket and flashy Speedmaster. The slow beat rate is apparent in the jerky chronograph seconds hand movement.

This is the perfect remake of an iconic Speedmaster with modern means. Just as it was, but under all aspects a modern watch. The 2,5 Hz are part of the history of the chronograph calibre... in the past they all indicated 1/5th of a second on the dial...

A stainless case, 40-41mm and not too thick, ceramic bezel insert. I was keen to buy the old PO 2500 41mm when it was released, but the bracelet and link design has stopped me from buying the PO all these years. When it became in-house and grew in thickness I went with Rolex instead. I think Omega could make good profits on the Rolex shortage.

Beautiful watch, i got mine almost two months ago...... but allready have been sent back to Omega for a necessary dial change -.-‘ In a few days it will be a month wait for this issue i discovered at home, and just for a simple dial change. At my judgement is not acceptable to find out to have a not perfect dial arriving home and such a long wait for a non-mechanical issue, but estetical. The watch usually gets +1second every three hours, as i tested. the chronograph activation, or reset, buttons tend to have a slight play before the immediate click. In progression 321 Omega(delay/hour/date) +4s 16:xx #1set(starting at +4) +15s 14:23 / +20s 23:03 #2set +25s 19:01 / +27,5s 00:10 #3set +29s 8:34 / +33s 22:15 #4set +38,5 13:02 /+2s 18:14 /+5s 23:37 #5set(res.) +12s 10:09 /+15s 17:36 #6set Then i lost track of writing this chart, and after i saw with my eye the defect and just got confirmed with the magnifying glass inside the box. the screws of the hands on the sub-dial are different, the sub dial that shows the seconds of the current time has a different screw, it results smaller than the other two. the sub-dials feature a circle texture, engraved, to which they then extend to the first edge, and then return to a smooth texture throughout the dial. I guess my quality check is exaggerated... but probably not. Maybe Omega needs a new eye.😁

The Speedmaster is based in Rome, Italy, and obsiully it was taken care from the boutique of the same city. The 25/09/2020 it got the approval from the customer service, i guess in Milan, for a necessary dial change. Now from that date it’s stuck on working in mother house. I need to specify that i have no hurry to receive back the watch, but it’s curious to see the time spent on a warranty service of this kind. I believe also that they have another dial ready, i would say almost the same day, i also thought that maybe there is a problem on the assembly line, since the long wait or maybe i helped them discover a problem. In any case i need to tell that the customer service is very reliable, the watch just after 4/5 days arrived to the customer care, as i believe in Milan, and got the approval to move on to the mother house and get a new Dial. Now the problem was... on the subdial of the seconds of the current time, where the numbers are stamped, so very near to the dial and on the 17’second, it had, in my guess: 1- a small particle under the paint 2- a simple scratch Now analyzing these points I would focus more on the first, since the paint seemed to be slightly raised, probably later it burst so it created this similar scratch that seems to be visible, given the visible metal color reflection. This problem reminds me a lot of what we can find in a simple wall when it swells and creates that "" scratch "". In any case the boutique told me that it would take long, since the period and the kind of watch.

I think Omega has accidentally stumbled on what might be their best marketing move in their recent history... the fact that there are Rolex like wait lists on this watch is a God send for Omega in terms of brand reputation.. they'd be utter fools to flood the market with these and drive the price back down to below MSRP.... because as long as people are paying $22K+ for this already highly priced $14K watch, Omega gets to be a part of a VERY exclusive club along with PP, AP, VC and Rolex... Don't fuck this one up Omega...

[@WatchAdvisor]

... "Don't fuck this one up Omega" ... Can you specify? What shall they do?

[@Sams911]

​@@WatchAdvisor that's just it, they should do nothing! A favorite term I like is... "the illusion of action" ... which is to say, sometimes the best thing to do is nothing (or in this case, nothing new).. which is to say, Omega should not tamper with this design, and should not tamper with the production numbers.. the exclusivity of this watch is a marketing boon for Omega... If anything they should discontinue the watch and only re-introduce the movement in another very low production variant... maybe this time in yellow or rose gold.. The big mistake would be to turn it into a mass production watch.

[@WatchAdvisor]

He said ... "black galvanic treatment" ...

[@scottt.4596]

@@WatchAdvisor Thanks!

[@wristwatch_holic9722]

Nice one from Omega again. It’s a hand made chronograph watch. I believe the price is justifiable. However, they should make bracelets adjustable for modern interpretation and comfortability for this price point. Imagine modern daytona without easy link.. Also, everything is about the 321 movement for this product but they should provide a special presentation box or accessories for this specific model. It was not a right movement that Omega used the same box and accessories from regular moonwatch.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Here Alex the watch-head and the Calibre 321 are the things that impress... At least I couldn't care less for an adjustable bracelet and a fancy/exaggerated box. The one you get is fine and goodies in it cool... Sorry to contradict you!

[@user-wy4zx3ir6d]

@@quicksandx54 I agree nothing justifies anything to be worth 12,000 pounds at all. It's a luxury. But this watch is only made by one watchmaker so it's not mass produced like other omegas like the 3861. And the Daytona is mass produced and currently sits at 33,000 pounds,. It's omega milking it ofc it is a new moon watch every week by the looks of it but don't take away from the fact that this watch looks absolutely stunning.. and if you look at it logically the grey market prices don't alter too hard like Rolex so it's a good buy. Just my take on it.

Can't decide between this and the snoopy for my first speedmaster

[@WatchAdvisor]

Difficult to give an advice... I collect Speedmaster chronographs and I also love and want both and I decided to go for the Snoopy III first... Does this help?

[@petem3209]

It's a beautiful timepiece, no doubt. Thanks for a great review Alexander! I am puzzled by one thing, why did Omega not include a clasp with a push button micro-adjust similar to the Speedmaster Trilogy edition. Instead it looks like it lacks the adjustability of the Speedy Pro. If this is the bracelet that will be supplied on non prototype models it will be a huge missed opportunity, especially given its price point. I also find it strange that this model has a higher price point than the DSOTM, I may be comparing apples to oranges but they are both Speedmasters and the DSOTM has a great modern chronometer grade movement and is fully ceramic. All in all, it will sell to hungry collectors out there no doubt.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Pete, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Please forgive me if I contradict you now... I (and many others for sure) have NEVER in my life been using a micro-adjustment with any of my bracelet if they feature one. So why should the missing micro-adjustment be the deal breaker? You get unparalleled, condensed emotions, history and watchmaking with the Speedmaster "Ed White" that at least I couldn't care less for such unimportant details...

[@petem3209]

@@WatchAdvisor If Omega can't put a micro-adjust bracelet on their highest priced Speedmaster, why put it on lower priced references like the 60th, Mark II and Master Chronometer Racing models? I doesn't make sense to me. I realize you personally wouldn't find any utility in having the feature but adjustability for comfort for many people, including me, is key. Omega's key competitor, Rolex, is now offering the easy link clasp with 5mm extension even on their entry level Oyster Perpetual models as another example of providing customers with bracelets, a clear upgrade from their previous 114300 references.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Staying authentic means no such "modern" extras in the clasp... As for me I would anyhow not wear the "Ed White" with the bracelet, but with one of the two extra straps... in my humble opinion the coolest way to wear a Speedmaster is with the NASA-style Velcro

[@andreaiacolina]

Very nice watch... But the new Snoopy is by far my favorite between the two

I like that they made it in the smaller size. Omega is getting lazy with making bloated cases on most of their models. Makes one miss the 1960's.

[@986C]

Could I please ask why the regulators are not set properly at the factory? I am seeing several on the market and in reviews that should have been set in the middle that are maxed to ‘R’ and this should not be. It’s shows lack of care during assembly.

[@WatchAdvisor]

I don’t understand what you are writing about… Can you please specify?

[@986C]

@@WatchAdvisor Certainly. If you look at the back of the 321 movement you will see the regulator pointer somewhere between A and R. A large number of 321s are leaving the factory with the regulation almost fully maxed to R to slow the beat rate. The movement should be adjusted to have regulation pointer in the middle of A and R. Timing washers should be used to accomplish this. Watch makers are saying this is careless work at the factory and shows that the basics of watch making are not being followed.

[@986C]

In other words, the balance is not poised correctly from the factory as shown with examples exhibiting the regulator arm maxed out.
