This is quite possibly, one of the best, if not the best, Speedmasters around. I actually am happy that the IG crazies are all hyped for the regular Speedy Pro. Allowed me to pick this up for a bargain brand new. Applied Omega logo and brand name, rhodium plated indices, retro broad arrows & metallic Base 1000 marked bezel (both a tribute to the CK 2915-1 to 2 from the 50s - The first two Speedy), uniquely colored dial, 1957 script (i think made in a qty of 1957 in the year 2007 for 50th anniversary), chronometer, chronograph with 3 sub-dials using alpha hands (another nod to the first) - column wheel + vertical clutch, date function neatly tucked into the hour sub-dial and it's quick-set, better WR with 10 bar, FP 3313 modified with co-axial movement, display case back with beautiful finishing on the movement, automatic ... i mean... which other Speedy has such a combi? This will be one to watch 30 years later. I suggest those that have it, to hold on to it for the long term.
I have been wearing this model 1957 since 2013. Honestly to say that this is one of the most accurate watch I have ever seen.. ± 1 sec-a-day so far... Tough but elegant, expensive but affordable, contemporary but a great history behind... What else Can I say?
Waw, i was not a big fan of omega until i saw this model!!!! Really fantastic!! This omega has everything! I love it. The nicest omega i have never seen and i thing i will buy it! Thanks for the video!!! I am in love!
Haters can say what they want but for me the piguet based 3313 in bug free c series form is the best chronograph movement on the market, much more wearable than the 9300 sized monsters
Why is it that this review says the watch is 13.6 mm thick but many many other sources around the web say it's 14.5 mm thick? Which one is it really? Can't find this spec on Omega's site or anywhere more official. This is super important to me as if it's thicker than 14 mm, it's actually a dealbreaker for me. Any more info on this topic please? Cheers!
The broad arrow hands are a poor choice for a chronograph. They're that much more likely to obstruct your view of the sub dials than the, thinner hands on the iconic Speedmaster
@@therunningpianist it's made by ETA, but it's a moot point because Omega is a division within Swatch, as are ETA, Lemania and F.Piguet, so you could argue it's all inhouse, it's a similar structure to Seiko or Citizen, the only difference is that all or most of their watches are branded the same, but there is little in common between a Chinese machine made £100 Citizen and a thermocompensated £2500 "the Citizen" hand assembled in a small Tokyo workshop by one of six master watchmakers, except the name on the dial, they are as different in quality, performance, and finish as a Tissot and an Omega
Your comment is both uninformed and wrong. Ok, first off the movement in this watch is a F.Piguet movement made for Omega, both companies are part of Swatch. Secondly, Valjoux hasn't existed for decades, their 7750 is a design updated and made to this day by ETA, also a Swatch division. Omega use 4 main types of movement family at the moment, I will not include their turbillion because it's very limited production and I'm not sure who makes it, it would be one of three movement divisions of Swatch group for sure. The first tier is ETA (mainly 2892 and 7753) based movements heavily modified for them with coaxial escapement and other refinements. The second is Lemania based chronographs, of which the new 3861 is the only one, I don't know but I expect it's made at lemania (Manufacture Breguet) for Omega. The third is the 3313 and derivatives which are used very little now (they are expensive high horology designs), they are modified FP designs made at FP (manufacture Blancpain) for Omega, again a Swatch division. Finally we have the "inhouse" 8000 and 9000 series of movements, these are exclusive designs developed as coaxial escapement designs from the ground up by ETA to Omega specs, they are assembled at ETA. There is also the 321 reissue, which Omega says it made at Omega, again I don't know how true that is, it wouldn't surprise me if it was made at Lemania (Breguet), it is a Lemania after all. Again All three movement companies are Swatch in-house divisions, so you could argue they are all inhouse.
And... So what!? I also had a Vacheron Constantin with an out-of-house movement and it was a beast. This factor doesn't ACTUALLY matter. The only things that matter are the strength and the power reserve. The movement in this watch is fantastic!

Just scooped one up myself. Couldn't agree more... well said
I own one but for some reason I did not wear it a lot and kept it in my jewelry box. What do you think its price in current market

Do you know what year your watch was made ? I’m interested in this watch but I have no idea when they were introduced
@@Mac2437 They were released in 2007 for 50th anniversary of SpeedMaster.

if you haven't bought it, I have one that I am thinking of selling
I've watched this video 5 times already. I think that means this watch is definitely next for me
A true classic iconic watch a true blend of form and function .
Haters can say what they want but for me the piguet based 3313 in bug free c series form is the best chronograph movement on the market, much more wearable than the 9300 sized monsters
I like the Broad Arrow Speedmasters better than the new ones.
If only the new Speedmaster would be automatic and with date function I would go for it, this one is much better IMO.
MAGNIFIQUE!!!!!!!!
Does anybody know when this model was discontinued?
I like it!

I own one. 13.6 is the correct measurement.
Trust in Tim Mosso 😅
And his 16cm circumference wrist
I am wondering if anyone knows if this watch will also take the speedy pro 8361 bracelet?
Hi. Yes. It can fit the 3861 bracelet. I have mine on it.
@@briansantizo522please, how well does it fit? How are the tolerances?
Doesnt fit very well. You better of buying forstner bullet or the forstner president! Those tapers and fits like s glove
It fits perfectly.
How much cost of this watch ?
Hi - this watch sold a few years back. Check here for latest Omega inventory with pricing: www.thewatchbox.com/watches/omega/

This looks stunning besides the hands 😭😭

Omega needs to make thinner in house movement. Their case size is ridiculous for their chronograph.
This one is actually pretty thin when compared to their other pieces.
@@dstfno yeh, but it’s not their in house movement.
@@lifematch It is. It's an Omega 3313. The base was a FP.
@@seanlingham5254 no, but the new moon watch is thinner and is pretty much in house, so my wish came true!
@@seanlingham5254 they just release a thinner speedmaster with in house movement.
The broad arrow hands are a poor choice for a chronograph. They're that much more likely to obstruct your view of the sub dials than the, thinner hands on the iconic Speedmaster
Omega are not capable to make his own movement.Thats why they use valjoux movements,just slightly modified.
this guy here has not heard of the 9605 clearly. hilarious.
