For me, the coolest Speedmaster is the model number 105.012 that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Arguably the coolest watch of all time.
Now THAT is probably the coolest watch of all time. Provenance coming out of the ears! 🤣
Which somehow “went missing on its way to the Smithsonian”??? I’m sure we all agree that Buzz has it in his safe :) Great video Britt!
Absolutely 100% agree. The only discussion to have is which wrist watch comes second.
Agree! I was near getting a 105.012-65 with a serial number less than 4000 units from Neil Armstrong's Speedmaster. I swapped my Zenith Chronomaster full calendar w. moonphase 18k gold with this Speedy, but it turned out to be issues with the Speedy. The bezel was damaged and the caseback was severely overpolished. There also turned out to be a suspiciously large number of movement parts replaced during the last service. To the seller's credit, he offered to undo the deal, to which I agreed.
I'm still semi-activerly looking for a caliber 321 Speedmaster.
I already have a 145.022 68ST, which is a "bulletproof" and very reliable chronograph. Except it's not water resistent at all (my watchmaker said: Wash your hands carefylly & don't walk outside in heavy rain wearing a T-shirt!).
The Ultaman is also another quirky Speedmaster worth a mention.
Only heard of “Owl’” yesterday having watched a Oisin video and they were referring to her Instagram account and featured some of her collection . It’s absolutely next level , and the lady herself appears to be an absolute class act . What a generous and absolutely stunning gift . Congratulations
She honestly has the most insane collection! She might have one of the craziest vintage collections in the U.K.! She is WONDERFUL! I was Instagram friends with her for a while and thought she was great…. And then meeting her in person - she felt like a soul friend! Her energy is just infectious! 💕 beautoful human!
@@BrittPearceWatches well that’s a beautiful collection and the stories surrounding some of those individual pieces would be a great topic for a video on their own, in terms of when , how, where , the history , the rareness of some of them , servicing ? Can they still be done ? Does she rotate their use to keep them moving ? The mystery as to who she is only adds to the story 👍
Okay...I'm drooling over your 145.012. The overall patina on the dial, lume and bezel is intoxicating. I bet there are some interesting stories that watch could tell! No question that's the #1 in the group - and what a sweet and thoughtful gift...so happy for you!
I love the Project Alaska when it’s not covered in the gear. It’s so frosty and the orange second hand pops. It’s really the perfect opposite number to the quiet retro grace of the original
Great video! Some of my favorites not mentioned: Speedy Pro Skeleton Platinum Moonphase, Speedy Tuesday Reverse Panda, 3575.30 (Speedy Pro Moonphase silver dial, white gold bezel)
Moonwatch Hesalite, i love the story behind and a clear classic look, love it ❤ my Moonwatch gets a lot of wristtime 😀
Yey🤗, entire vid devoted to the speedy!! And not mentioning the R word even once! Love it 💪🏻👌🏻.
I own a speedy professional, gold and steel case, gold bezel, small seconds and a beautiful blue dial. Very unique ☝🏻
Fantastic video (as always!). Surprised I haven’t seen this one in the comments: the Speedmaster TV dial 176.0014. Really highlights the era it came from, and a truly unique speedy
Greetings from Omaha, Nebraska! With so many variations, it’s almost guaranteed that there will be a speedmaster for anyone who enjoys chronographs. Thank you for covering them. Well done!🥃
Great video, Brittany, thank you🙂👍. Not much of a Speedy fan, but this educated me and gave me appreciation for the model. My favorite- the first one.
Loved this. I have the stainless steel and Sedna gold moonwatch professional, and I LOVE them. They are beautiful, classy and historically relevant. Their movements are wonderful. I like and have Rolex, Cartier, etc. but the Speedys hold a special place in my heart. Thanks Britt.
Oh I love this!!! Man! I could talk speedies all day. There’s so many cool variations out there!!
Great video. Proud to have two on your list... my avatar 😉 and the Silver Snoppy. Love them both soooooo much 👍
Great video (as always)! I’d humbly add the CK 2998 from 2018 to the list. Fantastic watch. 😊
Second best behind the Ed White
Thanks for the excellent video, Britt! You're sounding so much better and I'm glad to hear it! I'm still saving up for my sapphire sandwich and I'm always amazed at the variety of the Speedies out there 😊
OUU hooo! Thank you!!! I really am getting there! I’m so happy I can have vocal inflections again! 🤣💕 thank you so much!
love the amount of videos your putting out, my fav watch tuber
When you first started your channel, I was not a fan. But I've converted. You have opinions that you don't feel the need to constantly qualify; you know how to be self-deprecating; and you still have some fire in the belly, in other words you're not jaded. Mucho gusto, gringa!
Britt!! Hope my favorite Aunt is doing well. Awesome video and great list of Speedys, and the OWL gift watch is amazing. I do love these watches, but I fall on the controversial side as the sapphire sandwich is my favorite. The Speedmaster movement is art, and they should all have a display back to show it off. Have a great weekend and Long Live the Cult(s)!!
BAHAHHA NOOOO! I cut out an ENTIRE MONOLOGUE of me debating sapphire sandwich and hesalite because I thought people would find it boring!!! I SHOILDNHAVE KEPT IT INNNNN!!!!
standard moonwatch is the one for me - classic, iconic and timeless. While I get the snoopy narrative, I find that 50th anniversary watch a bit naff and gimmicky
Thanks Britt for the great content and OWL is amazing, what a gift!
Not sure if they count, but the speedsonic tuning fork powered chronos from the 60s/70s are worth a look. The moonswatch wasn't the first slightly whacky take on the speedmaster. Omega have been open to new ideas for longer than that.
Your content is getting surprisingly good!
Great list I have always thought the (discounted) 40mm Speedmaster Racing models are under appreciated. Especially the grey dial with yellow highlights.
I agree! So much as I bought the red one! (326.30.40.50.11.001) I think it looks amazing!
Love Omega Britt! Oh & you’re ok too.🤭 I bought a 2003 Omega Speedy Professional Moonwatch some 3 years ago now & it’s by far my favourite watch in my collection. It’s just makes me smile every time I wear it, which is occasional. I would love to add either the 1957 or a Snoopy… one day…😢🥰
Epic video! Love the Tintin, Silver Snoopy and Ed White. But also the Replica version from the late 90’s which is a unique more affordable version with caliber 1861. Yours however is gorgeous and a wonderful gift. 😊
You know! It’s sooo funny you say this! I just watched a Replica video on Fratello yesterday! I soooo agree! 😱💕💕✨
@@BrittPearceWatches Their prices have increased ever since the Fratello video but still acceptable. (Well, for us crazy watch collectors that is 😅)
What a great video. God, I love Speedys. And the coolest is mine 😂, a 3523.80 Mk 40 triple date. A busy dial but wearing it out on a sunny day it is the most beautiful thing.
you forgot my beloved 3151.10 speedy reduced!
What, no DSOM? Not a single dark-side, blue-side, or grey-side? I demand a recount! ;-)
I love all of them but my favourite one is the 2nd one which i definitely will never be able to afford😂 Great list Britt!
Seems these days, when considering "modern" Speedmaster references, everyone forgets the Japan Racing in favour of the Tin Tin. For me, however, it is much better looking, and because it has links back to the original Speedmaster with racing dial references from 1968+, is the much cooler watch.
Tintin and 50th Anniversary Snoopy editions are very cool. I own a sapphire sandwich Speedy and its hard to beat in terms of being iconic in the most literal sense.
Also, you totally code switched to a British accent when you took that call!!! 😂
I think the coolest Speedy is the Blue Side of the Moon. It has a blue ceramic case, moon phase, and a bluish Aventurine dial that looks like deep space with rose gold hands and writing. It also only weighs 100 grams on strap.
I don’t know what speedy Jason had on in the film The Mechanic 2 but it had a lovely leather strap on it, like yours, it looked so cool
Great job Britt! If I could only keep one watch it would be my Speedmaster Professional new version. Shhh...I would sneak a G shock to wear to the beach though lol
I am lucky to already own my favorite Speedy: the 50th anniversary Silver Snoopy Award. The blue and white color-scheme with the small snoopy subdial are so cool and that's even before turning the watch over to its stunning caseback!
My second favorite is the 50th anniversary Apollo XI in moonshine gold with the burgundy bezel and gold dial. It's a perfect recreation of the vintage version while featuring the perfectly modern 3861 in it.
PS: Super cool video! Would love to see even more Speedy content soon ;-)
hah! So now there are 2 of us who really like the X33! You go girl!
🤣🤣 I knew there had to be more than just me!
Worth checking out the 38mm black speedy from the current range. A smaller option for those that can’t pull off the 42mm professional
I think my favourite is the Mk 2 with the orange touches
Interesting video. Of course the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is number one, it's a classic. I like the Speedmaster 57, but since I saw the new summer blue Seamaster, I am dreaming of the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M. The Silver Snoopy is very cool.
Gringa Thursday 🎉
The gift from OWL is just on another level 👌🏻
Great video as always Britt.
RIGHT?! I think I’m going to do a whole stand alone video dedicated to the kindest gift I’ve ever received. 💕 just rocked by kindness! 😭💕💕💕💕 bloody love owl! And she just would not take no for an answer. I have now decided it is a watch that can only be gifted through radical generosity! When the time comes that I think someone would love it more than me, I am going to gift it to them! And insist they gift it along to someone else one day too! 💕💕💕
I have the racing Chrono in steel with a silver dial and orange hands. Something about silver and orange that really says class.
grteat vid , i really hadnt seen the digital mars version before today ! thanks for opening my horologic eye balls.
Got my reduced on. Though its not an in house movement but jusy 12mm tall including the crystal. Super slim and 39mm. Damn near perfect, just a bit funny with the stacked pushers and crown with that modular movent. And dial has les depth, but the vibes and feel is perfect on this 6.5" wrist. Great value too
Has to be the First Omega in Space or CK2998. Having recently purchased a FOIS, I just love the look of tbe straight lugs and the alpha hands. I think it is much more dressy than the baton and I'm not a huge fan of the arrow hands. Wish mine had the caliber 321 but for the price, such a great time piece.
I have a 145.022 68ST "transitional", the first reference with caliber 861. It's weakness is the complete lack of water resistance (my watchmaker says I must be careful washing my hands or walking outside in rainy weather..).
On the other hand, it's my only chronograph I've never had any trouble with. The movement just works, like an old Volvo or a diesel Mercedes.
At the moment, I'm semi-actively looking for a cal. 321 Speedmaster preferably in good condition; I've seen some bad overpolished ones.
I have the sapphire sandwich. Love it. I do like the original 57 design better though. if they ever make a 57 reissue in steel with a caseback I’ll definitely add it to my collection. I know they have one in white gold but it’s way too expensive.
Greetings from Malta. Love my 3861 Hesalite. And your channel!
Great list! Wish I could like more than once!
I have a couple Speedy's. Silver Snoopy 50th and my dad's 1970 Speedy he picked up in Vietnam in 1970 for about $250. The Speedy is a bit large on my wrist but I will never give up either of them.
OOoh. For flash it’s got to be the moonshine gold and green. That’s a real ‘ooh, what is that?’ kind of watch.
Great Video ! 😊
Britney, it would be great to see a review of the 3594.50 Speedy❤
I my humble human opinion, the omega moon series are absolutely fantastic watches, but also I can’t help wondering what’s going to happen when nasa is going to admit that they have never been on the moon 🌝?!
Tintin is the most unique speedmaster of all time.
My Speedmaster Schumacher 3518.50 is my favorite. Automatic, 39mm and cool racing dial that doesnt break the bank.
Apollo 15 is my favorite. Just a nice touch of gold
100% Agree with your #1. I have the 105.012 - none of that silly text on the back; just the simple Seahorse.
I was disappointed that the Ultraman did not make the Top 10 list.
You KNOW! While I was editing the ultra man came to mind! What a MISS on my part!!
Great video, I was expecting to see the Ultraman in this video.
Wore my 3539.50.00 reduced all last week for the first time in ages, forgotten how much I love this watch
Forgot to say , congrats on the About Effing Time feature, well earned praise for the fantastic job you do Britt
im starting to like the speedmaster reduced automatic great video have the double sapphire and newer snoopy i really like omega wathches
My favourite is the BA145.022 from 1969, the Apollo XI special edition, and the same from 2019 the 50th aniversary edition.
Have you had a chance to look at a CK2998? That was the one I went for after much deliberation, and to this day I haven’t found one quite as awesome as it. Also the new Snoopy clearly taking some inspiration from the 2016 CK2998! 🎉
Love that Moonshine Gold/Green
Have a wonderful day Britt. Hope you and yours and doing well.
I've always liked the Snoopy editions and the reduced versions that come in some cool colorways and designs. I like the casino dial one for example Ref 3210.52.00. I understand the historical significance of the Ed White version but it's a bit overhyped and IMO not worth the $15400 they want for it at retail.
What a lovely gift. I would stick the Snoopy first, I like Snoopy and the Peanuts gang. Great case back to boot.
Oh yes…. The moonwatch 🤩That may just be my next watch purchase.
Also reallllyyyyy like the moonshine gold but my bank account does not agree with that opinion 😬
Keep it coming with these lovely videos 🥳
OH GET IN!!!! That’ll be sooo exciting when you add a Moonwatch to the collection! 😱💕💕 BAHAHA I’m right there with you and the bank account! I’ve got dat precious metal taste, but not the precious metal budget! 🤣
145.022-69 on wrist, 145.012-67 at the bank. And yes, the 145.012 is my grail, very shortly followed by my 165.024-63, with rare 'Swiss Made' dial and mark 1 bezel ...
Nice choices… I’d go 2020 Tokyo Rising Sun. Not only cool, but built to commemorate the only postponed Olympics.
The Speedy is the kind of watch that makes me want to build a collection around all the different references.
Apollo 17, 45 anniversary n Moonphase with white gold bezel.
Not sure how it'd wear on me, but my favourite speedmaster is probably the green bicompax model 😅
I just find two subdials look neater than three
I’ve always loved the Tintin!
At last, the greatest watch of all time 🎉
3511.50 JDM model is really cool and still quite good value for money.
Since I love vintage Heuer Carreras' aesthetic my dream Speedy would be the CK2998.
Blue side of the moon and the chrono scope 😍
Missed a dark side of the moon version in the list. Especially the Apollo 8.
I just learned of the Albatross Speedy they made for the '76 Olympics. They def have some unique pieces in their back catalog.
Whaaat! I’ve never heard of this! I need to look into it now!
The Montreal Albatros is a weird rectangular watch which was half digital and the other half a round analog watch. But it was a Seamaster, not a Speedy.
It used to be the Apollo 8, which I still think is amazing. BUT. After noticing I had three blue dialed watches in the collection (Tag Carrera Day Date, Seamaster Planet Ocean, PRX Powermatic 80) I figured it was time for change, and I wanted another chronograph, and something that stood out a bit more. Stumbled over the Speedmaster Racing red/black (326.30.40.50.11.001) and was sold .It's currently my favorite Speedy. Although, it's impossible to not like Snoopy
Speedy Tuesday (reverse panda dial) 👌🏻
Speedy TinTin for me. I love it. I’d happily turn Saxon, kill and pillage to get one. When I was very young and still at school I’d lie to my friends that I was going to meet my ‘Other Friends’ but I’d really be going to the library to read TinTin books.
What about the speedy tuesday editions, both Panda and ultraman edition looks cool too.
My favourite ones are actually the reduced line because my wrist is so small I can't wear any other speedie bigger than that lmao
Omega is super hush hush about it. 😉 Lmao. Your videos are moonshine gold!
So many speemasters to choose from, think mine is the first silver snoopy, subtle nothing too fancy :D
ITS SOOO GOOD! 😍👏🏻
@@BrittPearceWatches what do you think of the Apollo 8 edition?
I really do miss my 1861 Speedy (bought and sold twice)... but had to just accept that it wore too big and I was always worried about the water resistance.... it really is an icon, but nothing beats comfort on the wrist
Ahhhh NOOO! James has a similar relationship with the speedy! He keeps trying, but always ends up selling his
@Ava-qe4qe OK thanks
You forgot the two models which deservre attention
1 The flightmaster from 69
2. The current speedmaster racing 44.25 is great i want the silver white dial
Hey gringa,
Do a video on watch servicing, and how often should it be done
🤣🤣 great idea! I love this!
@@BrittPearceWatches nice gringa
The 57, the Snoopy and the Tintin! It doesn't get cooler than this, despite the acrylic of the latter, which I don't like.
Great video, but avoided the most controversial issue: hesalite or sapphire sandwich? Choose carefully.
BAHAHA, I had an ENNNNNTIRE hesalite and sapphire part in here! But I just went ONNNN AND ON haha and I thought "omg people are going to get sooo bored and they won't get past the first watch" hahaha. To quote edited-out-me: "My preference on hesalite vs. sapphire changes with each day and what mood I am in. Hesalite is the more Romantic choice and I love the warm hue BUT it scratches easily (although it is easily buffed out). Now sapphire is the superior material and the industry standard now-a-days. It does feel that little bit colder but I prefer the applied logo. I think I ULTIMATELY prefer Hesalite - love the caseback (I'm not as much of a display caseback person) and the warm vintage feeling... But also wouldn't say no to the Sapphire"
Alaska is a wild cool watch, the first Mars Watch donchaknow? God I luuuurve it, coolest by a country mile, by contrast the Snoopyis a silly watch, stop it stopit now. As for Tin Tin I was always more of a Asterix guy...That 145 is a charmer, Happy late B day to OWL
Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 (311.92.44.30.01.001) is my fav Speedy
The Bulova Lunar Pilot is the Kirkland Speedmaster.
❤more history ones
That Alaska Project looks like Bod 😂
Omega do love imposing cartoon characters on adult men I guess though 😂😂
LOL! I have a weird thing for the Alaska project! It’s so weird that I like it!
Add a link to the old watch lady’s channel maybe?
Finally, no tudor video!! I am back in. Haha
@RealBrittpearce here comes the scammers haha
Hey Britt, what's the most "stand-out"
Speedy in your humble opinion?
There is also the CK2998!
