Ceramic watches chip easily. That's quite a sweeping statement. From Rado to Apple, and Omega, it doesn't 'chip' so easily, unless as a expert reviewer you have personally come across 'many' examples of this sort of situations. I've dealt with ceramics in daily use from antiques to modern wear, and it is surprisingly not so easily chipped unless deliberate force is applied, in which case damage would also be found in any other materials. So it's quite a sweeping statement. And these new high tech zirconia ceramics aren't anywhere like ancient porcelain or those used in teeth before.
The 1869 movement is unique to this watch (at the moment). The Team Alinghi special version has the 1865, but that only has 18 jewels vs. 19 here. The pushers seem nice and large, and are better spaced than on the standard steel Professionals, making this much easier to wind. The OMEGA and Speedmaster signings are actually cut into the bridge, not the dial. I think the Racing-style minute track is highly appropriate, remembering that the Race to the Moon, which the Americans won, was official US Government policy.
CORRECTION: The correct case size for this watch is 44.25mm, not 42mm. Sorry for the misinformation.

Yes, extremely disrespectful to the great Jim Lovell.

Purchased one about a month ago. Really nice watch.

Lovely vid thank you for doing it nice watch . Waiting for this year's 50th anniversary moon watch special edition.
Thank you for the video. Great watch. Really stands out from the other editions they have. I think this one is a winner.
Thanks for the comment!
Love this watch
1869 is basically an 1861 with lots of pretty decorations.
It has an extra jewel, however.
*I wish Omega does something about the hands to make it more readable*
The hands should of been yellow like the second hand.....
Have this watch and it becomes easy to read when you get it! At 1st i overthought it ! But it is easy to read
@@seangso should have
Beautiful time piece
Thanks for the comment!
Why are you only wearing one glove?
Maybe it's someone else under the glove
Really 42mm ??
A ton of misinformation, lack of research, and can you possibly shake the watch more while in macro mode?
Yes, too much homework time spent looking in the watch shop window.
Omega limited edition
hope u understand the coment...
It is not Limited.
