Love the Speedmaster and the history of this type of the watch. Thanks for putting the story about the watch together
Fascinating video Armand. The Speedmaster is truly an icon in the world of chronographs in particular, and in watches in general.
Thank you for taking us on this journey through Speedmaster references! As a FOIS and a hesalite Moon Watch owner, your video has presented me the gift of looking upon my watches with even more fondness now that i know more about their history. Excellent pronunciation of Wally Shirra btw : )

Excellent Armand! Knowing Omega are knocked for bringing out loads of special editions, you can forgive them with these Space/Moon watches - history! I like the Alaska models.
Well done A. Your show becomes somewhat of a standard to measure against other YtubeVideos.
My favourite watch of this episode is the Alaska Project 2...
I would like to see you do a episode on the watches worn in the Vietnam war.
Great job. What a cool story about technology and pure adventure.
Outstanding video! Being part of the military for many years I'm suprised they didn't make the astronauts "buy" these watches. Ohh you get this watch don't worry it will come out of your pay hahaha
Those rocket subdials hand are a must in any moon watch, maybe a bit more delicate but should definitely make a comeback
Excellent....love your presentations...
Good documentary video on history of the Speedmaster. Another interesting piece in this "family" is the X-33...created in collaboration w/NASA, Navy, USAF and used on Space Shuttle missions.
2:48 Alaska II Speedmaster in red outer cases are seen on prelaunch TV coverage of Soyuz 25 (October 9, 1977) and Soyuz 26 (December 10, 1977) crews destined to Salyut-6 space station.
1978 Alaska III radial dial Speedmaster was worn from Space Shuttle STS-2 (November 1981) to at least STS-65 (July 1994)
Another superb episode, really enjoyed it, thank you. Saludos
very nice Watchreport , makes me very courious!!!
The Speedmaster must be my all time favorite watch.
You should check out Christopher Ward watches... you might eat those words.
malthus101 a lot of people would disagree, CW simply doesn’t have the history
@@honghaoliu5548 I was joking 😑
malthus101 r/ woooosh I guess hahahaha
@@honghaoliu5548 haha 😉
The Alaska Project 11 is a very handsome watch
Brilliant video and history. Cheers
Just in time for the movie First Man 😁
i wasn't really bothered about the speedmaster but now i really want one >
Cool vid man.
Very nice review
Can't believe no mention of the Soviet space program and their own home grown watch industry. Poljots, Strelas. You must cover these.
Brilliant!
Thanks for a most informative video. The legibility of the Alaska II model is what I really prefer.
I'd never seen or heard of the Alaska series of speedies before. Thanks, Armand, you always do such excellent work. Quick question: I presume you're reading off of notes while making these videos as opposed to having all of this very specific knowledge (reference numbers, dates, calibre model numbers, etc.) memorized and ready to go off the top of your head, correct? Can you still recall all such details from videos you made 6 months or 2 years ago or something? I'm trying to learn about watches right now myself and what I notice about your videos is the just massive amount of detailed information you put in them and I think "There's no way he just *knows* that stuff, he must be using notes", yes?
+Andrew Tracey: Thank you very much for the kind comment, I'm glad that the video was of interest. To be honest, I am really rather geeky when it comes to reference numbers and dates, and so I tend to remember them after researching a video and almost always after repeating them for the the production of a video. However, I must state that I do write down the details on a sheet of paper in front of me in order to avoid any mistakes or incorrect details.
Ok, thank you.
Would love Omega if would offer a selection of bezels today. The completely useless Tachymeter is the main reason I do not want to buy a Speedmaster. BTW: A Tachymeter can be useful in space. You can count revolutions (e.g. orbits, of you space craft, etc.) and get the revolutions per hour from the tachy scale.
What does Alaska have to do with space?
+malthus101: That's a very good question, however, the reason for the use of 'Alaska' as a designation was to act as a code name and so had no resemblance to the final application of the watch.
Omega is of late turning me off getting in bed with the movie man landing on the moon where they won’t show the American flag. And then from the the RUclips series Watch and Listen just how shady of a watch company Omega was from day one and through the years.
