- What first made me fall in love with the Omega Speedmaster?
My recent review of the 2021 Speedmaster explained my dwindling obsession with collecting these watches, but today’s video delves into my original honeymoon phase with the Speedy, and why it initially caught my eye.
Join me for a unique look at watchmaking and watch collecting through the lens of intelligent design, men’s style, and fantastic filmmaking, featuring the underrated 2010 thriller The American, Hollywood superstar George Clooney, and a few nods to the forever iconic James Bond.

I watch the Urban Gentry channel since about 4 years now. You taught me a lot about watches and horology. I started my journey with Vostok Amphibia watches, both vintage and new. I bought a Speedmaster last year and wore it everyday for a year. I think of the Speedmaster as this space tool with a rich history. While the brand new Yema Pearldiver (a new model, a new watch) has no history yet and has not been associated with anything. So that, I can feel the giants of the past with the Speedy, like the shadow of James Bond with the Seamaster, but a blank page with the Pearldiver. The Vostok watches remind me of the Soviet Union, the Cold War and the 20th Century. The watches I love to wear live with me, on my daily normal life as well as when I go hiking, camping, swimming. Every mountain I climbed, the Speedy was on, by -20 Celsius on a frozen lake, in the wind on a mountaintop, in the blizzard on the hill I walk on many times a week, year round. The Speedy times the hike, tells the time and always keeps running wherever I venture and explore. To which, the Pearldiver will take on for all water related activities, canoeing a river downstream, or tanning by the lake. Watches are a refinement deeply interconnected with movies, mechanically speaking they are very close to the camera that puts images on film, or the beautiful cars riding sinuous roads. Keep on doing videos like this one TGV.
Francis, or should I say FRD? I am deeply, deeply honored by your comment and also thank you for sharing your poetic feedback on your experiences with watches. I always enjoy and appreciate that perhaps the most. You are awesome sir! Onwards and ever upwards.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry if TGV didn't have a sense of humour he would probably be the most imprortant person in /avec support of the contintnental US------- sadly when dealing with modern retailers some people never completed very much relevant - block edit delete comment as needed --- support black dial watches!!!!!!!!
You blend movies, art, culture and watches masterfully. Your channel is truly unique.
It is so right what you say about TGV´s work. As a -non- native speaker- I couldn´t have done any better. Thanks Michael.
I clicked this video to learn about the speedy and now I want to see that movie
Me too!
I already rented it on Prime
Fantastic film.
I consider it to be a 'companion piece' of sorts to John Frankenheimers 'Ronin'. They could very well exist in the same time and place and both tell us a similar story in a similar manner. If you haven't seen either, do yourself a favour, as they say. If you've seen both, this comment will likely make more sense!
It's a good movie.
You never cease to amaze me with the quality of your intros. The Speedmaster has a truly timeless design and is certainly one of my favourite watches.
I agree it was one of the first simple dial Chronographs
Chronograph watches never been a favorite of mine. This is the brief story of how I got my first one. At the beginning of April, I visited an Omega boutique to see what they had on display, with no thoughts of buying anything, just "'window shopping". As soon as I entered, I asked for the new 2021 Speedmaster (3861). The sales lady told me, " we only have one left, the one with the Sapphire glass." My response was: Ok, let me try it on. After she brought it out and showed it to me, I went into a state of awe. The design, the details of the dial, the looks of the movement on the back, how comfortable it was on my wrist, the iconic status, the heritage and what impressed me the most, the specifications of the time piece. I caved in. After the adrenalin rush worn off, I thought I was going to regret the purchase. Still waiting for that thought. No regrets on my new adquisition.
How did I wind up with my fave chrono? The old fashioned way - it stopped me in my tracks as I was walking past a store's display case! This was before on-line buying was even a thing and it's still ticking away nicely. : ) In this age of super-convenient and high information on-line buying (which I do enjoy to be sure), I hope we don't ever completely lose that thrill of love at first in-person site watch encounters.
Watch love at first sight, as epic as when it happens with people. Awesome story and comment.
Thank you so much for sharing that and I'm sure, as long was we have love in our hearts and eyes take in the wonders of this world, watch love at first sight will continue.
Thank you Craig for sharing that.
Best regards
TGV
TGV: "I have no intention of whacking people"
Hugo: "Oh, pish tosh, my boy, show a little imagination!"
Laughed so hard at that comment! Thank you.
The first time I saw a speedmaster, it was on a colleague's wrist and back then I didn't know anything about watches. But I knew the watch my colleague was wearing was a killer watch. I was immediately attracted by the contrast and the busy dial. I remember peeking regularly at his wrist to spot the brand. I was in love and I still am.
I became obsessed with the Speedy after watching that movie years ago!!! I had no idea of it’s long history before that time, but man did I go down the rabbit hole after that. Took me awhile to be in a financial position to acquire it, but so worth it… it truly is about the journey. All your videos are amazing, but this one really connected for me. Thank you!
I just love these videos that blend cinema, horological, and cultural history all together. Amazing amazing work TGV!
I believe the omega speedmaster is somewhat subdued and although busy, has now become part of the back drop of every day norm. That's part of the charm of this piece, it's a chameleon that keeps on changing its presence in various situations. I have yet to own one due to budget, however look forward to the day i can open the box and admire all of its characteristics. Thanks for Sharing!
Nice to see your still making these videos. I know times are tough lately, but, l am sure you cheer a lot of people up. All the best to you thanks.
Oh my God. It feels like I’ve found a long lost soul mate!
The American marks among my all time favourite films. Every now and then I pull out the blueray disc and give it another watch. There is something about the scenery, the Italian landscape and the brooding atmosphere that is very appealing to me. I have also read the book by Martin Booth several times - his writing style is pure class.
And of course how can we forget about the speedy. I can’t count the number of times that I’ve paused the movie at that specific moment only so that I can admire Jack’s watch. The same watch that I’m proud to own.
Thank you TGV for mentioning this wonderful film.
I don’t know anything about watches but “The American” is a GREAT under-appreciated film and I loved hearing your take.
I always get excited to see a gentry vid freshly posted!
The click when you start the chronograph. The precision. The braclet. The crystal curve. I hope to get one.
The Speedmaster is certainly the most iconic chronograph, and IMHO, the most iconic watch of all time. A watch that represents mankind's most inspiring achievement to date. For my personal collection I went with the Speedmaster Apollo 8. It's a somewhat large watch, but thankfully I have large wrists, allowing me to experience one of the most well thought through special editions of the Speedmaster, with it's breathtaking movement and beautiful color scheme.
As much as I appreciate the Omega review, an interesting review of George Clooney’s The American. Great video!
I adore this movie for the same reason and that’s one of the reason I own now this speedy ! Thank you Tristano to illustrate this in the video ;)
The Speedmaster has class, it always did and always will.
Your videos were always on a higher level.
This video was released on my 40th birthday, and simultaneously ignited my interest in the "Speedmaster." What a fantastic birthday gift. Truly. Onwards, and upwards good gentry. Cheers...
This is a great video because you took the time to reflect on yourself. I'm tired of consuming the present like every moment is disposable. For me, this channel encapsulate this concept. It's not simply why in 30 secondes, but the journey behind the best answer at the moment. Thank you for sharing your experience, there's not many channel like this on RUclips.
Thanks for another great installment TGV!
Just bought the new speedy as my first luxury watch. Your channel got me into watches. Love the video! Cheers
July 20, 1969 I was a 15 year old kid watching the moon landing on TV. Naturally, I became interested in anything related to Apollo 11. I didn't know anything about Omega Speedmaster back then but when I found out about the watch I wanted one. Fast forward and I'm watching your video wearing my Speedy Pro 1861 hesalite. Whenever I wear this watch I think about that day when I was a 15 year old kid. This is my one and only chronograph in my collection. We all have our own reasons for having a particular watch. Thank you.
Great stuff! An excellent essay and critique of the film, which I'll be watching asap. Love your channel boyo (I'm Welsh!)
As always your editing, narration, B roll et al is very much on point, once again thank you for bringing what you bring well to the watch enthusiast table.
Please never stop making content. Absolutely incredible insight
what a great video. I love film, style, watches, and music as well. Great blend. I'm subscribed!
Thanks again TGV! The Speedmaster really got me hooked back when i was in High School. It kinda sparked my watch enthusiasm flame :-) I can so relate to this video and the new incarnation is just so sweet... best regards
What a nice video essay, TGV! Been great to see your skill improve and medium change over the years.
Thank you Ian :D
Best regards,
TGV
Oh TGV, I feel like you made this video for me. My parents immigrated to the U.S. in the mid-1950's from Introdaqua Italy, just outside of Sulmona, where "The much of "The American" was filmed. Obviously, my family LOVES that movie. My father bought a mechanical Omega with a 611 movement shortly after he came to America and he told me that watch made made him feel like a millionaire. It was the only watch he ever wore, and now I have it. I have been collecting watches for quite sometime but I recently decided sell watches I don't wear and buy a Speedy. So now I have an Aqua Terra, Railmaster, Speedmaster, and Junghans Max Bill.
I am going to watch "The American" now an plan my next trip back to Italy to visit my cousins. Have a great day TGV!
Now I have to go watch the movie. Funny he picks the Ruger Mini-14 as his weapon of choice, it is famously known as an inaccurate rifle and not one to hold tight groupings but hey, you said he spends the whole movie modifying it. As always your take TGV is one that captivates and educates. Love the speedy and hope to have one of my own someday.
Thank you David :D
I hope your Speedy dream comes true.
Best regards,
TGV
For that matter the old Speedmaster movements were notoriously inaccurate.
Whenever that movie comes up, what flashes through my mind is, "The Clooney movie with the Speedy." I should re-watch it. I'm not sure if it spawned my lust for a Speedmaster, but it didn't hurt.
Omega: George Clooney’s choice
Speedmaster=Nice. Videography and storytelling=Priceless.
great video as always! 2 days before my b-day about my favorite watch so I assume it’s a gift 😁🥰
Of all the chronographs out there , the Speedmaster is just so iconic. Solid , no frills tool watch , made to do a job and does it amazingly well. One of my collection that I will never sell . Great video !!!
your vid/films are gold. a young man is preoccupied with gain. a mature man is preoccupied with loss.
Thank you TGV for another intriguing video! Very interesting perspective! Stay Healthy and Well! Nick 👍🏻😃⏱⌚️🌊
Thank you Nicholas, always appreciated. Stay well too!
Best regards,
TGV
That was very interesting video! I wasn't expecting that 👍👍👍
Henry Fonda's character in Once upon a time in the west was LEGENDARY. The perfect villain Rip Henry and Peter Fonda 👌 great video
YESSSSSSSS. So true.
Always happy to hear from a fan of Sergio Leone, thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
Sorry, had to finish watching a Chandler’s Wildlife video, so I’m not first today! 🤪
I love the Speedmaster. It’s a beautiful chronograph that’s not too busy like many other chronographs are. Pure class, one day I’m gonna own one!
Finally got a nato for my 5600D, absolutely love it. Keep up the great work TGV!!
I watch many channels about watches, but when you publish I am the happiest! and yes, I always like it before the video starts. I know for sure I will like it! thank you. coffee is better now, watching your video 🙏
Every time I watch a video from the Urban Gentry, I have a desire to become a more successful, sophisticated man.
But to answer your question, I fell in love with the Omega Constellation, which you so wonderfully did a video on. While the Speedmaster connects you to the moon and is a symbol of precision and human perseverance, the Omega Constellation to me represents the beauty and mysticism of the stars in the universe.
Thank you so much Ricardo, I am deeply honored by your words.
As for your Connie, I'm so glad, I really think the modern ones a so underrated, it pleases me to hear someone in our Gentry community appreciates it. "Beauty and mysticism of the stars", well said, I love it.
Best regards,
TGV
I'm a huge fan of The American. What an underrated movie. The way you describe it is perfect, and not many people understand the 'flavour' of this film. What a classic for me. Oh, and love the watch too!
In all honesty, it was your videos on the Speedmaster that opened my eyes to it and got me interested...I was never really in to it, but after learning about it's legacy, especially it being the astronauts timepiece of choice, put it on my list of watches to own...
I almost forgot how much I love that movie. Thanks for reminding me, will watch it again tonight!
New to your channel. Love the detailed info. Looking for my 1st mid-level high-end watch. You've made me a Speedy enthusiast for live. Thank you.
Very creative!!! Loved it!!
I’m so glad and pleasantly surprised you talked about The American because I purchased the film specifically to see the Speedy on the big screen after I bought the watch for my birthday. I loved the movie’s slow pacing and pensive tone as it’s a very refreshing change from the action-packed, dopamine overload of modern Hollywood cinema.
Really good introspective video with nice film analysis. Shows your film school background! Keep it up man
I purchased the latest model the day it arrived in Australia, it's actually the first watch over $20 I've ever owned (my other being a well-worn 20 year old Timex from Target)... So a big jump. But I'd spent all of lockdown 2020 just poring over watches, knowing I wanted to start collecting. Even with a relatively small female wrist, this watch is a dream and I smile every time I look at it... it has been my daily wear since January, it's extremely comfortable. For me it was just the look of it initially, the styling is very much my taste... but I now love my little ritual of winding it up over my first morning coffee and just watching the movement through the case back.
One of my favorite movies!! And led me directly to my first Speedy and then to your channel!! Phenomenal video, as usual! Thanks TGV
So gla to hear, thank you!
Best regards
TGV
What I love about this watch is how it transcends socio economic classes. It has a low barrier for entry but will not look out of place on working class or wealthy elite. It's pure class and just works in every environment
fantastic video tgv!!
great finding out what ignited your passion for the beloved "speedy"
I love that dan henry as well!! its like all the best parts of a daytona, speedmaster and even a hint of the nina rindt universal geneve.
Great video as always!
In an almost unbelievable coincidence, the first mention of the "Speedy" in this episode occurred at the exact moment I was reading about the Douglas A-26 and it's use of "Speedee" bombs that could skip on the water like Barnes Wallace's creations. You said Speedy and I read the word Speedee at the same time. Crazy! (ref:WarbirdTECH Volume 22 p.85)
I absolutely love mine. The way any strap you put on it at any given time is the correct one is just wonderful.
Anyone who grew up in Europe in the 70's, 80's who loves Formula One and other motor racing will know why I am a Tag Heuer fan. That Classic icon on TV showing the lap times of the drivers, the split second markers and qualifying times. Tag Heuer was inseparable from F1. One of the reasons I got into watches was the desire to someday own a genuine Tag Heuer Monaco or Monza. Monza has always been my favorite, the old track, the banked curves, the 60’s movie Grand Prix, and races from the 50's through to modern F1 races. The best racing cars ever built screaming through the Variante Ascari and flying around the Parabolica at 200 mph. I like watches that have a great history behind them, and its usually history of things that I'm particularly interested in. I like the original 1976 Monza Calibre 15 (Lauda Ferrari tribute), but also like the later releases. The Calibre 36 and then the rereleases in 2000 are beautiful. But in 2016 when Tag Heuer released the most recent (and final?) version of the Monza I knew it would not be long until it was in my collection. Today it is my favorite watch within a modest collection.
Fantastic video! Thank you a lot 👍🏻👍🏻
Man, this (yours) video could win an Oscar. Well done, TGV.
I just watched your video on the new Speedmaster. This watch made such an impression on me that I contacted Moyer and as of an hour ago I purchased one.
Derek from Moyer could not have been more knowledgeable and more helpful. All in all a great experience with Moyer.
This is only the second luxury watch I have ever owned. 👍👍. Your channel is great. Thanks for the knowledge.
Bob
Good evening TGV! The Speedy ist such iconic wristwatch, even if we let aside the whole moonwatch thing. To be honest, I hoped that maybe the Speedmaster would make it in No Time To Die, when I first saw images of Daniel Craig's outfits. In my opinion the Speedmaster on a Nato would have been a perfect fit. Have a great evening.
Me too!!! I was hoping for that too, Bond with a Speedy, now that is pure class.
Great minds obviously;-)
Have a great evening too, thank you Heiko.
Best regards,
TGV
I did spot a Speedy on the wrist of the henchman Stamper in Tomorrow Never Dies!
I just bought the No time to Die watch and trust me they made the right choice Stunning piece to go with my Moon watch, Apollo 8, Moonphase( In blue) and racing speedys, OMEGA all the way
Not enough water resistance for bond , or me .
@@zman8340 John Wick can do it with the Bucherer Manero Autodate with 3atm water resistance. 😂😂😂Just kidding, of course the Seamaster makes perfect sense for a former commander in the Royal Navy and MI6 agent, but as far as I get it in beginning of No Time To Die Bond is retired, so I was hoping for a little twist regarding his choice of wristwatch.😉 Like when we had the Aqua Terra on screen.
Another great video. Thank you for always looking for the positives.
Thanks for this video TGV. My favourite watch and in my collection since 2004
A classy fave my friend, that is some serious time with a speedy, love it.. Thank you Leonardo, enjoy it.
Best regards,
TGV
The Gentry once again gives us television quality programing mixed with scholarly levels of information. Thank you.
Great video, as always. I do not own a Speedy, but i do own a few chronograph watches. What i really appreciate about them is the function. Being able to do more than just tell time. being able to get a few more things done, and all these tasks' on a tool that you have with you every day.
I have yet to own a Speedmaster but I'm getting very close. I fell in love with it years ago once I learned of it's history, heritage, and connection with NASA, but also due to its looks too. I find it to be such a beautiful design, understated but so functional and above all, iconic.
Great video and have been a long follower of this channel since the first one I watched - which was probably the Roosevelt Island outing video back in the days. I have a Speedmaster Moonwatch 3570.50 from 2010, coincidently the year this movie was made (I think?). This replaced the 3520.50 Speedmaster Auto Triple date which I wore for 15 years as a one watch guy before I traded it. Still think that was kind of a mistake when I think about it now, but letting that watch go for funds to get another, opened up my journey down this rabbit hole of the watch world. Always missing it after that, I became obsessed with finding my next Speedie. I’m glad I have my Speedie now, and watching this video made me want to rewatch the movie to relive those moments seeing the Speedy on Clooney’s wrist. Cheers.
Thoroughly enjoy watching all your videos my friend - just pure class!
Loved that retrofuturistic intro
I love this watch, I keep saying that this will be my first luxury watch. Thanks for the video TGV, btw this is my fave channel 👌🏽
When I bought my 1969 Speedmaster (straight writing) in Rome back in 1972, I didn't have a watch.
I was working as an auditor there and one of my colleagues was about to get married and was selling off some of his possessions to raise some cash.
One of these was a the Speedmaster, which he had bought new.
I knew next to nothing about watches in 1972 and had never seen a Speedie until then.
I just took one look at the watch and the writing on the back, and I knew I had to have it. The price was right and a deal was made.
I wore it continuously in those days and had it serviced for the first time in 1982 in Bahrain..
I have been living in Switzerland since 1987 and have had the watch serviced by Omega twice so far.
Very attached to it and I still wear it regularly.
It's grown old with me.
My obsession with the Speedy and from then watches in general began with your review of the FOIS! I was amazed at (a) the love you had for that watch and (b) the immaculate detail I had never before appreciated. I feel a bit let down that you subsequently sold yours but I still have the one I brought after watching your video and I still love it on it's understated brown leather strap.
The Speedmaster‘s second hand just… made me fall in love with it. It just has that kinda something to it. I don’t know if i make sense, but it just plays with my heart in a good way.
And also because i am a space and history enthusiast, i really would love to own it.
Great as always, TGV!
Another fantastic production. I love especially how you have shown the 3861 and the 1861 together and subtly shown respect to the outgoing version, which is my beloved Speedmaster.
This video takes me back the original gentry content. Talking up a watch and how it fits into a good movie, with some art and opera thrown in. Great stuff TGV.
The speedy intrigues me:
Aerospace tool watch.
Its beautiful as it is functional and precise .
Love it. The ultimate iconic timepiece.
Thank you TGV 👍🏻👍🏻
The speedy's design was the one thing that attracted me the first time I saw it, during my younger days when I could only afford casio. The moon mission is a great story to get non watch people to take note of it and get interested themselves.
So true. I didn't realize how this watch is beautiful until I saw a friend wearing one. There's really something very special with this watch. I own one since a few days. I never felt this feeling towards a watch. What moves me is less the Appolo XI story, true but highly fed by marketing, than the highly decisive part the Speedy played in Appolo XIII "success". It's not only a beautiful watch, it's a part of what human history has best accomplished.
Always loved the Speedmaster because my father was wearing one, unfortunately he passed it down to my brother that had no watch interest.
I am planning on getting this one or the 38mm co axial soon I hope. Oh and I have a Fiat Stylo, super reliable, 15 years old car and still running like the first day.
Your video on the First omega in space inspired me to buy a Speedy FOIS, loved it from day 1. Thank you for all your great reviews!
Can't wait for the day that i can add a speedmaster to my collection... Been a dream for a long time
what a fantastic video once again, TGV! I love when you combine a film review with a watch cast. Please continue to make these kinds of videos. Suggestion: watches cast in gomorra ;)
Another great video TGV. Your edits are getting better and better as well!
I think the speedmaster is an essential part of any collection, big or small.
It's a timeless part of history and space exploration.
(Btw I think you should buy one of the two speedies the AD lent you LOL)
More than just a watch review channel. Good job TGV! Cheers!
I was playing with amateur sports car racing in the 1980s and got to share some of the space near the big guys like Newman-Haas. The racing chronos were everywhere and I fell in love with all of them. Being an aerospace guy now, the Speedy is a natural attraction.
Having served as a Soldier for over 30 years a watch becomes an essential and foundational piece of equipment for any military operation/activity. Almost immediately after joining the US Army I became fascinated by watches in general, particularly their uses in the field and on deployments. The more I studied and expanded my interest the more I was drawn to Omegas and the Speedmaster in general. Its simple elegance, quality, and historical significance is impossible to ignore. Tragically, no one joins the military to get rich so it was always a distant dream but I finally purchased one this year and I'm simply overwhelmed by how it makes me feel and the sense of satisfaction of owning something of such sheer elegance.
Gosh, that´s devotion to our passion !
Looking forward to this one,TGV! Onward and upward
TGV. You did it again. You made me add the Speedmaster to the list of grail watches to acquire.
The Intro blew me away. Always raising the bar.
brilliant video, thank you!
Is it weird to feel proud that I already watched this "hidden gem" 3 or 4 times probably? And adored the speedy of course. Your description is absolutely spot on.
I think you inspired me as you do with most watches. Haven’t got one yet but it will definitely be an Omega when I retire
I love watching your content! Have been for a long time. I have a general rule of buying watches. The moment I see it, it has to make me smile. Particularly the first time I see it.
When I first saw the speedy in person it did just that. However it was the crystal one that for some unexplained reason made me smile. I wanted to buy the hesalite to be part of the pure club, but couldn’t pull the trigger. So I waited. It just didn’t make me smile the same way. I spent
a couple of years thinking about the moon watch, and then finally I went to see it again in person and the crystal version made me smile again. So I bought it.
The more I wear it, the more I like it. It’s hard to understand why. But the watch has a personality. It grows on you as you share special or even mundane moments together. It’s as if it has a heartbeat, and every time you power it, you give it life.
It took me forever, but I just figured why you always show movie clips in the vintage TV overlay. Nice
What makes me colkect the Speedmaster?
Growing up with Space as the Final Frontier, where no one has gone before, the Apollo missions inspired me for most of my time growing up.
I respected the engineers and strategic planners who made contingency plans in case of system failures and disasters.
The intentional choice for a mechanical winding watch was to me a forward thinking decision. With the unknown in front of them, from power failures to EMP bursts, the decision to have a tool that overcomes those issues was, to me, very admirable.
Even for the coming Mars mission, a battery powered watch would not be advisable (carry spare batteries just in case? Do a battery maintenance in zero gravity?)
To me Apollo 11 & 13 was the defining moment for my love for the Speedmaster. Not the moonwalk, but the fact Neil’s Speedy was used as the replacement timer for the mission, defining Speedmaster as the reliable backup & lifesaving tool for space travel.
I am an amateur when it comes to watches. I bought a speed master a year and a half ago, I was drawn to it for some reason and knew nothing about it. It's like the watch actually found me. Nice video 👍
I am ashamed, I live in Abruzzo and I've never seen the movie! I'll watch it tonight, grazie Tristano!
