This week I had the pleasure of unboxing a new watch for a friend. Turns out it was an Apollo 8 50th anniversary Speedmaster in an incredible black ceramic case. You'll see I had no problem whipping off my Rolex Submariner to get this one on.

That is an amazing piece of timepiece. It looks amazing with the partial skeleton dial and so unique comparing to other Speedmasters. the polish and brush ceramic case is so cool! Love it

Can't go wrong with a speedmaster! very lucky to unbox something like this

@ashfishpool8834 3 года назад

Great unboxing. I love my Apollo 8, it’s a truly unique timepiece and really pops when it’s on the wrist

@essexwatchenthusiast9888 3 года назад

Well done on your latest review, your passion for Omega and the Speedmaster is clear to see.

This is a beautiful piece and super fun unboxing! These are hard to get right now. Appreciate the unboxing.

Looks great, I think it may be my favourite speedy and all that lume is fantastic.

Not my type of Speedmaster (I own a 105.012-65) but boy what a complex dial. You never get tired of that! Very nice review.

Your Submariner says, "why don't I come in a box like that?" That's a fabulous speedy.

Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf recently :)

@drakemarcellus4953 3 года назад

@Dominik Samir definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)

@MarkStark-dx9dm Год назад

It is a very nice Speedmaster. I own a normal hesalite Professional Speedy, but this one would still clearly be a nice addition to the collection.

@thatmexicanguy2989 3 года назад

As mentioned when it was released, die hard spaceflight fans don't see the link with Apollo 8 ... yellow & black go great together but yet another " special " Speedmaster of " 13 in a dozen " !

@georgesgeitani5609 3 года назад

The most interesting thing about the lume is that the Omega logo on the crown actually lights up as well

@TheEnglishWatch 3 года назад

Yeah, forget to mention.

@malcolmwordsworth4638 3 года назад

Beautiful watch. I have the 3861 and couldn’t be happier! Could I???

Ive eventually gotta get a Speedmaster. You know which Omega is calling to me first? The Seamaster Railmaster. I just love the design

@jeromedesbordes2186 Год назад

Cette référence devrait prendre de la valeur car sa production est stoppée par Omega. Une nouvelle DSOTM avec un mouvement automatique donc plus épais devrait arriver cette année.

@PabloTBrave Год назад

Not kean on the strap myself but the watch is gorgeous with amazing lume

@MichaelSmith-fn1ci 3 года назад

Hi Andy, another great video. Can I ask, do you take a dedicated watch insurance or keep them on your household? Just curious as I’m wondering if one has any benefits over the other!

@TheEnglishWatch 3 года назад

I keep them on the household. All as named items. Costs around £100 per year extra. I looked at having a separate policy, but was way more expensive. They’re covered inside and outside + on holiday, so no worries. The Rolex is insured at its replacement value though which makes a difference.

Hi Andy Nice review when are you going to review the omega blue ceramic planet ocean watch.

@TheEnglishWatch 3 года назад

It’s in progress.

@georgeii2629 Год назад

Hello, I just discovered this beautiful watch for myself. Thank you for unboxing. Could you possibly tell me the dimensions of the watch cushion. I only need the height and the length (i.e. from lug to lug) of the cushion. Thanks very much!

@f10087 2 года назад

Great review! Many thanks for the macroshots. How is your wrist size? Thanks!

@TheEnglishWatch 2 года назад

I have a 6.75” wrist. Black and ceramic wears smaller than the steel equivalent.

@OmegaFanMan 3 года назад

Great video/ stunning watch. No need for the pouch on airport scanners. I have always worn my DSOTM .. Zirconium Oxide ceramic is scratch proof and scanner proof, So a good travel watch choice. Also black is nicely understated / too much bling can be a bad thing when traveling. Zirconium Oxide is also very abundant on the moon - surprised Omega marketing never pushed that... the Moon dust watch :0)

@OmegaFanMan 3 года назад

A derivative of Zirconium was also a key element in the Moxie experiment - another key NASA record - producing Oxygen directly from the Martian atmosphere.

@sananselmospacescienceodys7308 Год назад

Compared to Omega the Rolex box looks like something you'd find Cracker Jacks in.

@ragetobe 6 месяцев назад

Wow that watch looks absolutely massive in your wrist, is your wrist small? I’m a diver and am used to carrying large watches but this watch just looks too big for your wrist.

@VinodKumar-nn7go 2 года назад

ha ha ha.. you became 20 years younger as soon as you put on the apollo 8 watch on your wrist 🙂

@MisterBalHarbour 2 года назад

Great looking watch, to bad its too big for my taste

@Splatters 2 года назад

Do you guys buy this kind of watch only to collect them (put in your closet forever and watch them sometime) or you actually wear them?

@TheEnglishWatch 2 года назад

If it was mine, I’d wear it often as I do all my watches. My friend is usually up to his arm pits in car parts, so doesn’t get the opportunity. However, it marks a successful period of his life.

@eliot451reade5 2 года назад

I own two Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon Speedmasters and they’re both unworn. The back stickers are still in place. But that isn’t to say that I won’t wear them someday. When I fly into space I’ll have one of them on my wrist.

@user-vy5cy6kq4h 3 года назад

Are any speedmasters self winding? I have a PO and love the heritage of the speedmaster, but I could not live with a self wind, i know I'd forget and as a tool watch I wouldn't want it running out on me.

@TheEnglishWatch 3 года назад

Yes. The Speesmaster Racing and Dark Side of the Moon (non Apollo 8) are auto winding. I love the simple DSotM. Auto wind, date function, column wheel chronograph. Excellent watch. The Racing series can feel a little hefty in steel, as does the Mk2. The classic Speedy Pro is my favourite and best value. You’ll only forget to wind it a couple of times.

@user-vy5cy6kq4h 3 года назад

@@TheEnglishWatch Thanks for the quick response, was busy watching your history of the speedy video. I may have to venture into a boutique and take a look...! Addictive (and expensive) hobby!!

@@TheEnglishWatch Is the lume greenish or more blue?

@amarbaha 2 года назад

I'm thinking of getting this, would you recommend it over a Daytona?

@TheEnglishWatch 2 года назад

Unless you’re very familiar with your AD, you’ll need about 15 to 20k extra for the Daytona. They don’t compete on a stylistic level either. The Apollo 8 is a great edition to any space nuts collection, but is also beautifully finished and ceramic. The Daytona is nice, but unobtainable.

@amarbaha 2 года назад

@@TheEnglishWatch TYVM for the reply I was more referring to the aesthetic vs the price. I know the Daytona is much more expensive but I just love the Omega look

@TheEnglishWatch 2 года назад

This Omega is very special and I love the yellow on black colours. Ceramic on leather makes this super light on the wrist with the black cheating the overall size of the watch. This all black affair is a tough comparison to the Deytona, a watch I admire, but one I haven’t had any time with. These watches play different roles in my opinion, so both would exist nicely in a collection.
