Reasons I purchased a Hesalite about 6 months ago. 1) Looks better in person. The cloud around the outside bothers me a lot. 2) You can buff out most scratches once a month. Adds to my watch routine which I like. If it’s a deep scratch, it’s super cheap to replace at your AD. 3) And finally, I got an OEM Omega clear back from my AD and they installed it on the watch. Best of both worlds!

I love the Speedy regardless of sapphire or hesalite. I have the some years discontinue4 1863 sapphire sandwich and It's great to be able to see the movement without a winding rotor obscuring the view. Yes mine lacks the current model is METAS certifies, coaxial escapement and hacking but I'll be sticking with it for the foreseeable future as I see no need to change, it also has the Omega symbol printed on the dial. On my wrist today is an Oris Aquis cal 400 blue dial 41.5.

You can't go wrong with any of them, but I must say that the sapphire version really is a beautiful quality piece. It's my daily driver since I got it, if I went with the hesalite it would have been so scratched right now because I bumped the crystal into so many things, I forget I'm wearing a watch sometimes and I hit doors, walls etc, the sapphire still look great, even the bracelet I hit so many things with it and no scratches yet, pretty good quality watch. My favourite.

Is it possible that your calibers aren't very precise? Other sources report 13.2 vs 13.6 mm for the sapphire and Hesalite versions respectively. 15mm would be a dealbreaker for me as I don't like too thick watches. I tried on the sapphire version and it wasn't too thick for my taste. Would you say that, when on the wrist the Hesalite version feels remarkably thicker or is it basically unrecognisable? I think the scratch resistance isn't an issue and if I can save 1000 euros with the hesalite version that would be appreciated. Also, does the added thickness come from the domed shape of the crystal or from the case and caseback?

Sapphire is likely far heavier a material, that it weighs more isn’t all that surprising. Omega has in the past offered the Pro with a hesalite crystal and a sapphire back. That would be a great compromise and likely still is an option for those willing to go third party for the crystal caseback. I would think most people would favor the sapphire version, but it’s very cool they offer it in hesalite and the look of the acrylic crystal is quite cool.

But let’s start today and stop saying cloudy border or milky ring. It’s MOONLIGHT! Enjoy your Speedmaster.

@JasonMilner
@JasonMilner 4 месяца назад
The cloudy border on the Sapphire comes from the thickness of the glass. Many Sapphire watches have a flat disc of sapphire set in the rehaut, but the speedy rehaut is not deep enough for that. If they made a curved sapphire in the shape of the Hesalite it would be a) very difficult (& expensive) to manufacture, and b) not strong enough, so they added a rim to the sapphire to raise it above the watch face. The cloudy appearance comes from looking through the thickness of that rim.

I totally get the purist mentality of having the hesalite face, not having the transparent case back, and a few of the tiny subtle other features more original to…the original. But even with the $1K more price, my plan has always been for the sapphire version. It just has that slightly nicer look for a luxury watch, while still honestly looking almost exactly like the other. Plus, part of the hesalite face was to avoid any shards of glass floating around getting into things in space, if the watch was knocked really hard and damaged. But I’m not going to be going into space anytime soon. So I think it’ll be fine. Also, I sometimes hear people complain about the 50M water rating on this watch. But it’s not a diving watch. If you want that, buy a Seamaster 300M, not a Speedmaster. The Speedmaster is more about space, flight, and land and air activities involving speed. And 50M, or around 150 feet, is still fairly deep for normal water activities.

Apart from a '67 or earlier vintage or the new Ed White 321 version, the modern versions are just that, modern - so you might as well get the sapphire sandwich and enjoy the movement for what it is and to get a view of it. There's nothing particularly authentic about the modern Hesalite versions, unless you enjoy collecting micro-scratches. My Omega dress chrono has the old 321 movement, but sadly it's a closed case back.

Because some people want as close to the original as possible. If you want a more daily wearer, go sapphire. But if your a collector looking for as authentic a moonwatch as you can, it makes sense to get the hesalite with the closed caseback. The closed caseback also carries the full inscription whereas the sapphire display caseback simply sais "the first watch worn on the moon". I went hesalite because I love the history and story of the watch. Also the hesalite gives the watch a warmer, more vintage look.

That white ring is what made me chose the Hesalite. It looks better in person than the sapphire. I have many watches with an open back case, only good at the start, get boring after.

@@GU5SCouldn't have said it better myself. I went hesalite and have zero regrets. As far as daily wear goes, it's just as good as the sapphire, as long as you don't mind polishing the crystal every few weeks.

As an owner of the Sapphire, I can definitely understand why people would pick the Hesalite. It looks much better. But, the Sapphire looks good enough, and I don't have to worry about the crystal scratching, so... But I do love the hesalite look for sure!

I like how you pussyfoot around the fact Hesalite is for all intents and purposes just plastic that could get scratched by anything around 2 or 3 on the Mohs scale, including your own finger nails and while its use in the original Moonwatch was a necessity, it's absolutely ridiculous for a watch that you wear daily and run the risk of scratching. Unless you want to live with a constant fear of door knobs and a steady supply of polywatch, the sapphire sandwhich is for all intents and purposes a better choice.

Neither one is "true" to the original, the closest one would be the 321 Ed White version mate!
