Hi there❗️😃 It’s January 2022. My Hesalite is arriving in a couple days. I bought the Hesalite because of its heritage plus it’s attractive. My Omega Boutique lady was pleased at my choice. Thanks for the video.
I'm team sapphire, for pretty much the exact reasons you said here. Were I to ever find myself in a situation where zero-g sapphire shards may be a problem, then I'd definitely take the Hesalite. That will never happen, so I'll gladly take the extra scratch resistance and beautiful display caseback of the sapphire crystal. Considering the immense historical significance of the Hesalite model, I'm very glad Omega still offers it, especially if someone wants a Speedy Pro entirely due to it being "the moon watch", but that's not the only reason I like the Speedy, so it doesn't affect my decision.
Yea, it’s definitely a plus that Omega offers both versions as people buy for different reasons and it’s good that they have option to choose according to those reasons. Same as u I prefer to have a watch that is more scratch resistant so sapphire for me..that being said both a beautiful timepieces 😊
I do know that if it really happens that people need to go to space with their Speedmaster, just let a watch smith know and he or she can swap it out for you.
Ooooooo well this is once again a great video!!! I take you to my cheap Seagull 1963 with the exhibition case back! Sometimes I’ve lost days just staring into it! Looked down to it in May, looked back up it was June!!!!! If I pay for an Omega SM and have the chance to see an Omega movement in action without taking off the case back................. got to be S A S A S A S A SAPHIRE!!!!!!!!! All the best from still sunny southern England!
Haha thank you 😊 yes, I also prefer the sapphire..if you pay that amount of money for a watch, you want to see it’s beating heart 👋🏽 from surprisingly gloomy Singapore (past few days)
I went sapphire as well, but agree, you really can’t go wrong. In the end, I just wanted the view of the movement and wanted to buy new, so didn’t opt for the late 90’s model with sapphire caseback and hesilite top. Keep it up man! Great video!!
Hesalyte fan here. Just can’t have sapphire fragments floating around the spacecraft. I wear it every day on the comfortable lizard deployant which is a better fit on my 6.75” wrist. I also bought the stock bracelet and will in time give all the Omega straps a try. Strapie and Everest offer rubber straps with curved ends to go flush with the case. Decisive for me was the smoothly rounded Hesalyte with it’s native optical character. It completes the quartet of mid-20th century visual cues when matched with streamlined lyre lugs & crown guards, the cantilevered bezel, and the exquisitely understated perfectly legible white on dark matte gray dial. These ideas span the transition from art deco to the space age into which I was born in ‘54. In a thousand years our descendants will see that scratched Hesalyte in the museum from the first steps beyond earth. Meanwhile Polywatch makes it a pleasant ritual to keep my crystal pristine.
Very well made videos. I’ve been looking to get another watch at the moment. I like to try and stay away from the really famous and common watches as I find they’re usually very overpriced (especially at the moment). What watch would you recommend at the moment?
Team Hesalite :-) I was set on getting the 3861 sapphire but when put side by side with the hesalite I immediately went for the hesalite. There is no contest look wise IMO. The markers on the hesalite appear to be longer than on the sapphire due to the distortion effect and the dial looks larger and cleaner without the halo. Need to ask in the Omega Boutique if one can get the see through case back for the hesalite version.
So.. exactly this is my current problem. To go with the one.. or the other 😄 very soon i will bye a speedy. My first idea was clear the Saphir Ed. Buy after i saw the hesalite at my ad i fall in love with it. Nice Video thx. i have seen every Video about this theme on yt i think🙄. But now my decision is so clear as the hesalite version is. 😆
To be honest I chose the sapphire over the hesalite. I have the FOIS and man it is a scratch and ding magnet. For those who want to go to space and meet NASA qualification, sure, why not? But please keep in mind that most of us will be down to Earth and will face more issues with the hesalite versions.
I went sapphire speedmaster pro. If I ever need to be worried about shards of glass interfering with my spaceship, I will wear my G-Shock or Maraton tactical watch...lol
Hesalite is clearly the most beautiful iteration. Sapphire is nice, but just doesnt look as beautiful dial side. I actually bought the sapphire first, but after a while I couldnt stand how ugly it looked dialside compared to the hesalite. I told me self its more durable, but quite frankly that didnt matter as I wasnt careless with it anyways. So i purchased a hesalite sandwich instead...basically a sapphire sandwich but the dial crystal is hesalite. Best version of all in my opinion. Better then the standard hesa and better than the sapphire sandwich

Wind It On The Move also I didn’t know the Saphire had a slightly lower profile! Also gets a tick in the yes box!
IGTW 😉🤗
What a informative and fun video! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Desmond thanks for the support 😊😊
One of the better Moonwatch comparo's! Bravo!

Thank you and congrats 🎊

Andrew Lee yes definitely can’t go wrong with either..the movement is definitely something to look at 😍 thank you 😊

Rickey Hudson definitely can’t go wrong with hesalite and you seem passionate about the watch too 😊😊
Keep the content coming! Love the relaxed casual style you have too. And Omega should simplify their reference number. I’m in team sapphire!
Thank you bro appreciate it 🙏🏽🤗 yea, the ref numbers seem to go on forever 😅
Wind It On The Move you pronounced it well!
I bought the new 3861 sapphire to wear everyday. I loved the hesalite look so much Im gonna try to find a vintage hesalite for my collection.

Great video man👍
Beer and Watches thank you mate 🤗 appreciate your support 😊
Very well made videos.
I’ve been looking to get another watch at the moment. I like to try and stay away from the really famous and common watches as I find they’re usually very overpriced (especially at the moment).
What watch would you recommend at the moment?
Can’t go wrong with a speedy 😃

Don’t think you can get a new hesalite with exhibition caseback
@@WindItOnTheMove I'd like to order and swap it.
Great video !!
Thank you 😊
Fantastic video buddy 👌
Stuart Conway thank you mate 😊 appreciate it 🙏🏽
Team Can’t Decide 🥴
Has to be hesalite, just can’t beat the original
🤷♂️🤷♂️😅😅
Good info Sakib,I went with the hesalite as both make a statement on the wrist. Team “hesalite” all the way!!!
International Marine Foods,INDIA thank you 😊 it’s definitely a tough decision..Hesalite is gorgeous as well😊😉
So.. exactly this is my current problem. To go with the one.. or the other 😄 very soon i will bye a speedy. My first idea was clear the Saphir Ed.

😅 difficult decision.. enjoy your new watch 😊
Buy it now , before it’s too late and upgraded with a new movement pushing the prices up , buy the Hesalite version. Thanks me later
Great video
Excellent comparison. Hesalite I guess but that display case back is nice. Hmm. 😅
Thank you 😊 yea the exhibition case back is something else 😅
To be honest I chose the sapphire over the hesalite. I have the FOIS and man it is a scratch and ding magnet. For those who want to go to space and meet NASA qualification, sure, why not?

Team Sapphire 😊
Team Sapphire all the Way !! Sick Transitions btw.
Darshak solanki 😄👌👌 thank you
Tough decision to make but I prefer exhibition casebacks. Your presentation style in your videos is engaging and excellent.
Robert Miller team sapphire 🙂 thank you 🙏🏽
