Great to see both side by side. Love that Bracelet, far better than the older one, including the clasp. I think the white one though works best on the black omega rubber strap. Going back and forth whether to get one, lets see… . Happy Labour Day to everyone who’s reading this, cheers Evan and thanks for this vid. As usual fun to watch!
I got my white Speedy 3 weeks after release & love it! I received so much attention at Watches & Wonders Geneva a few weeks back you wouldn’t believe! Got approached literally by 50+ people that wanted to see it, try it on & take photos! I was there with a big crew for 3 days & they couldn’t believe it. Especially because some of my buddies were wearing watches valued @ 100k+ 😂
The stile of your video is very refreshing! Thank you! I stopped following most watch YT channel because I was fed up with their fake boring presentations
I would choose the '57 Broad Arrow over the Moonwatch any day, but it wouldn't be fair to say that Omega hasn't raised the bar with the new white dial. To be more precise, the handset and the applied hour markers are absolutely stunning, and the red accents are a very nice touch. Great video, as always! Cheers!
I just put my name on the waitlist for this yesterday. Planning to wear it on my wedding day this summer with a white tux. Sales said the wait should only be 1-2 months at this boutique, so I'm hoping it comes in time!
Looks great Evan! Always enjoy hearing your thoughts! Would love to hear some more of them after getting you one of our new GMTs to check out (white dial option too)! Definitely think your 7" wrist would be plenty happy! Hope all is well!
It's simply stunning and am looking forward to having it on my wrist. I've Never bought a watch considering what the "Crowd" thinks. I have no need for "Approval".....ever. Been around long enough to Know that all kinds of people have all kinds of opinions about all kinds of things.
I love the Speedy and have it in my collection. Of course the black dial version. I tried the white dial speedy on at the Omega boutique and I must say I’ll stick with black version. I was kind of underwhelmed by that watch in real life. In my opinion it looks better on the internet.
I have the white Seamaster 300m for 2 years and I bought a special aftermarket bracelet which looks like the one from the Speedy to have exactly this kind of look. And was totally happy with it. But since Omega created this masterpiece I have the strong desire to buy this as well 😂
I do love the white dial, It's a great and refreshed look, but the black dial is just going to age better IMO. I daily my 3861 Speedy, and I don't think I would trade in for the white dial.
if this watch was released yesterday, no history, no story, what would you say about this vs the black dial? I think the white dial accentuates the details over the black dial. The nerds, and I am one, have always appreciated the details on this watch, the step dial, the legible hands, the markers. Black dial purist, or white dial enthusiast, this is a fantastic watch. I’d buy it, and put it right next to my hesalite black dial in my watch box.
I've tried the white dial on and it's amazing. Bummer about the lume difference, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I mean, I own 2 Alpinists with tiny lume dots at the indices. Who am I to judge? One local AD I spoke to about it already had 20 deposits down for that model. It seems to be quite popular.
I wasn’t expecting to learn anything watching this, I had never heard it’s 40 mm at the bezel. Some watches look amazing in white, if I was buying an explorer 2 it has to be white. With the speedy it has to be black, I’m not sure how I would feel if it didn’t have the tacky red speedmaster text but the other white dials look a lot better. I had never thought about a full lume dial speedy but I think it’s a spark of genius, a playful speedmaster would be a nice change.
4:20 "That's because it tapers 5mm. From 20mm at the lugs to 5mm at the bracelet." Is that also part of Evan math? Seems like a pretty aggressive taper. ;-)
Nice video but I hope you didn’t scratch the white one with the crown of the black when when you unnecessarily held them so close they appeared to touch multiple times. 😱
Now Im only waiting from Omega to release a 38mm speedmaster professional with sapphire crystal, automatic winding, and at least 100m water resistance.. I understand the heritage perspective but come on, it is an 8000 euros watch... and no, the racing is not the same, and the reduced latest model is already 15 years old
I watch your videos primarily because of the writing. Superb wit and jabs at the ridiculous hobby of watch collection. The best humor is that which self depricates. I did not, however, watch this for the Omega Speedmaster, as many have. I feel that it's overpriced and overrated. I do, however own a Bulova Lunar Pilot in white panda. The 2nd watch to land on the moon and not fail...like astronaut David Scott's NASA issued Omega. May the farce be with you... Always.
Different league. Bulova Pilot is like $1k and the new speedy over $10k. Omega even got the thickness down to 13.2mm. Would I buy it probaby not but not a bad watch.
Great video, I am convinced now that NASA’s funding has been consistently cut because they don’t measure distance in Evans. But damn, this is a beautiful watch. I’m saving up for this one. It’ll be my next purchase.
I sometimes wonder - And I'm allowed since I, too, have a 7 inch wrist - If conspiracy theorists are ever proven right about their claim that NASA faked the whole moon landing thing, what would that do to this watch?
I'm really confused about the swim at 30m. I had a speedy pro (pre-Metas) that I would gently wash under sink water (not submerged, just running water). Two times it had condensation under the crystal and had to be sent back. It was a 50m rated watch.
Saw it in the metal over the weekend, and I'm just not getting the hype. It's a nice white lacquer dial. That's it. I think people aren't thinking straight because they've been looking at the black Moonwatch for too many years... but that's the color it looks the best in.
7 Evans = 6,5 salmonelli. Obviously we will need a blue full moon lume dial. I get your moon fatigue. For me the moonswatch gave me the fatigue where I can’t get excited anymore… for this watch I mean
I'm finding it hard to get excited for this new colorway* in the same way I find it hard to get excited for a new shade of white on a Toyota Corolla. And I actually do like the Speedy but its a bland color on a bland watch. Full lume would have been something. Or white aventurine, I don't know, something to spice it up.
