THIS Omega Moonwatch is the Greatest Watch Ever Made 

We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

It's INSANE that you can walk into a boutique or AD and buy one of these right now or online, but a moonswatch is impossible to get.

I have owned a Speedmaster since 1974 (which I guess makes it a cal. 861), and you might enjoy the story of how I got it. I was a commercial photographer in Copenhagen and one of my clients was the Danish Omega distributor J.C. Filtenborg. However, despite watch photography being a speciality of mine (and I come from a family of watch makers), I did not wear one because leather straps have always reacted unpleasantly with my skin and I had at the time not found a metal strap that didn’t bother me. I had been using pocket watches, but given up on those too. This became awkward at a time when Polaroid film was starting to be used in commercial photography for test shots and on-site client approval. The real exposures were on film, of course, and had to be processed before the client could see them. But Polaroid, especially in colour, had to be timed quite accurately in order to serve as a reliable test shot, so I became notorious on shoots for always asking someone else to time them for me. In the end my watch client got fed up and told me to go to the store room and pick out a watch - any watch, as long as it got me to wear one. The only watch in their collection that met my needs was the Moon Watch, but my client was true to his word and gave it to me. I wore it for more than 20 years, until I switched to a Breitling Aerospace which is titanium and therefore much lighter to wear, but I still cherish my Omega Moon Watch.

The Porsche 911,the Trench Coat, the Mont Blanc Fountain Pen and the Omega Speedmaster defined the design of the 20th Century. And the Speedy is still going strong...

The fact that the Apollo 13 astronauts would have been dead without the reliability and accuracy of the Speedmaster for their manual burn makes this the greatest. Tried and tested in a life-or-death situation in space. No other watch can lay claim to such a feat.

I still have my Speedmaster that was built in late 1968. I got it as a BD gift 10 days after the Apollo 11 lunar landing. It's one of the very early .861 cal. versions. I wore it a lot during the 1970s and then less in later years. I had it "tuned up" twice, once in the 1980s and again in the 1990s. I keep it in a safe and only wear it occasionally. It still looks brand new. What's cool about it is that there are no references to the moon on the back of the watch because we had not yet gone there when it was built. It's got the original dot over ninety. I use "polyWatch" to keep the Hazilite crystal scratch free. I intend to keep it in the family and eventually give it to my son with strict instructions to give it to his son someday. I trust it will still work well 50 years from now.

My 1969 Speedmaster Professional is in almost perfect condition. It runs around +6 seconds a day, for an 53 year old watch its insane. The quality is top notch!

This is the most important watch in my collection, mine came in the 1960’s NASA style trunk with aluminium catches. I wore it to Kennedy Space Centre just to give it a ‘home’ experience!

I can't explain how nice this watch is to wear. Timeless and versatile design, perfect weight, perfect thickness, the best and most comfortable bracelet I think I have ever worn. Just incredible.

Bought a moonwatch In December. It’s just as stunning the first day I bought. A timeless design, with the history to back it up. I think the moonwatch and the gmt master 2 are the 2 greatest watches of all time.

I have wanted a Speedmaster ever since I followed the space race as a child. I watched Armstrong step down onto the surface of the moon when I was in high school. I almost bought one when I was working in Hong Kong in 1990, but my son was just born and I couldn’t spend the money. Today I am celebrating my 70th birthday, and my son gave me a large box for my birthday. He said: “here, I wrapped it myself”. When I opened it I found a new Speedmaster Moonwatch. Thank you, son!

I always second guess myself when I make an expensive purchase (anything over $500). I was perfectly happy and relaxed when I got my Speedy.

I knew nothing about watches but as a space exploration geek my wife thought it would be cool to gift me a Speedmaster so she only has herself to thank for sending me down the horology rabbit hole. I’ve owned many icons since but you always remember your first Love. The more I learned the more I appreciated what an amazing watch I had been given. I smile every time I throw it on.

Yes! Manually wound chronographs and V12s are beautiful artistic anachronisms the world needs.

I bought my Moonwatch today and couldn’t be happier. The purchase experience was far, far more pleasant than the one I’ve had with Rolex. Imagine walking into a boutique to spend hard earned money, without having to work to spend that money. You have to see this watch in person. In my view, the Moonwatch has more character and heritage than, dare I say, even my ND Submariner.

Your photography really demonstrates the quality architecture and finishing of this 3861 Caliber. I was enjoying wearing my new “Sapphire Sandwich” yesterday…

I never thought anyone else would share the same thought about the moon watch being the greatest watch of all time. Thank you for presenting us with this incredible justification.

I remember the days of my youth when I hurried to the television and started watching the adverts on BBC 2. Just before Top Gear starts. The same when I woke up early to watch my cartoons, as a younger boy. That same feeling and emotion is felt as I watch your videos. Thank you!

FACTS!! I am a Space Coast Native and my grandfather worked at NASA with the Delta 2 program from 1960 to 1984, I have seen HUNDREDS OF LAUNCHES from my front yard, and this is my GRAIL WATCH, specifically the Professional Moonphase made in the 90s, the 3576.50 Sapphire Sandwich.

I love my 3861. It’s damn near the perfect watch. Incredible craftsmanship, beauty, unmatched history, and huge versatility. You can wear this watch with a t-shirt or a suit and anything in between an it still looks incredible.

I have many watches, but my 1861 was the first expensive (for me) watch that I bought. I've since bought others but this is the one I go back to most often to wear. It's the one that definitely won't leave the collection. When I bought it I bought from an Omega boutique to get the full experience. Such an icon!

It gets so much just right. That dial finds a perfect balance of detail and cleanliness.

I bought a Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch a few years ago, ashamedly as an "investment". The minute I got the watch & held it in my hands for the first time, I said "f3ck that" this is going on my wrist right now. I love this watch, moreso than the watches I'd always wanted to own when growing up. It knocked my Santos from its perch as the top dog, it also sent my Oyster Perpetual back in its box. I don't know why it's managed to do this but it just has. There's not a chance in hell I'll part with it anytime in the future unless it's for another Speedy.

Even after 30 years of owning a Speedmaster I love it and wearing it

After years of yearning for this watch I finally bought it end of '21. Absolutely love it, it is so timeless! I went for the Sapphire sandwich with zero regrets. A must have for sure!

Love my MoonWatch. Among my watch collection, the MoonWatch is one of my favorites (I have the Manual Wind version and this creates such a connection with this watch, each time I wind it). Great Video!!

I resisted until finally buying one in 2022. It deserves all the praise. And your video quality is amazing.

I purchased this watch earlier this week from an AD on my birthday and also happened to be a tuesday! The watch is absolutely stunning and timeless. Wears like a dream on the wrist. I chose the sapphire version. The scratch resistance, applied logo and visible movement was a no brainer for me. A watch that can be appriciated for life. Worth every penny.

I’m a watch enthusiast, love Omega, and love the idea of marking time or achievement with watches or clocks. I’ve always wanted to own an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch with a sapphire face. Not only because I consider it an absolutely iconic wristwatch and Omega’s best, but also because of my great interest in science and the space program. But I’ve held off now deliberately for the past 23 years. Why? I’m also a distance big distance runner, typically running around 30 races a year, including 3 full marathons each of those. From the start, my biggest goal has been to qualify for the Boston Marathon and run it. But after 61 marathons trying, over 23 years, I haven’t quite done it, coming as close as just 3 to 3 ½ minutes short. But my plan has always been that when I do, to immediately go out and buy this watch. I even check ahead before each marathon at the closest Omega boutique to be sure that it is in stock. Unfortunately over the years the price has gone up quite a bit (for me at least), and my career and the economy has floundered a little. But even if I need to go into a little more debt to make it happen, this is still my plan, and I can’t wait for that moment. The name itself will be literally symbolic of my achievement.

I actually own 4 OMEGA watches and the last was the Moonwatch. I got the 2019 Special Edition with the big box and accessories and it was worth it. I then realized it was one of the best buys I have ever made. It feels amazing

The moon watch was the first watch that struck me as a cut above the rest in a watchmakers shop window as a kid in the late 70s. It looked like a big professional instrument but Strangely familiar. Then found out some years later this was the very watch I saw on Buzz Aldrins space suit in the 1969 moon landing just a few weeks after my 5th birthday that year. I think many of my generation have a strong subconscious link and memory to this watch, even amongst those who are not aware and don’t care. The power of subliminal product placement and marketing must never be underestimated.

I bought my Omega Moon watch 3 years ago. I couldn’t afford a new one so I bought a very good, extremely well looked after 2005 model from Japan. Absolutely stunning watch to wear & look at! It was my grail watch & forever will be!

Added the Moonwatch to my collection two weeks ago, so happy I did.

Bought one!! This my first ‘expensive’ watch. I don’t wear it every day but I take it out and look at it almost daily. It came down to the speedy and a spring drive. Love both but the speedy is much more fun to look at.

Superb video as always! I struck up a conversation with a gentleman last year who noticed my Speedmaster. He was also wearing a Speedy and was curious as to why a younger guy would pick a Speedmaster over other watches. I told him about my love for NASA and Apollo, and he immediately understood. He then told me about how his Speedmaster was a gift from his old poker buddy Buzz. Yes, that Buzz. He told me lots of great stories about hanging out with Buzz and how he's the real deal. Speedmaster owners tend to be the most interesting watch enthusiasts I meet.

I love the history of the Speedmaster. My dad bought a new one on December 26th, 1968...for $175! He must have been waiting to get some money for Christmas because he was in the store the next day (Sayerville Jewelers, in Sayerville NJ). I have that watch now, with original box and papers, on the original bracelet and it will be passed on to one of my kids when I'm no longer here.

I was on the fence between the Breitling Navi-TimerSpeed Master Professional. After comparing both, no contest, the Moon Watch won hands down. I like everything about this Icon of the industry, but more importantly, I find having a tactile representation of an instrument associated with Mankind’s greatest achievement right there on my wrist is priceless. I used to own a Rolex GMT Master II, and I really enjoyed that watch, but the pedigree of this watch just blows my old Rolex out of the water.

Agree completely. Bought my Speedmaster Profesional in 1983 at the Base Exchange at RAF UPPER HEYFORD for $375.00 US on sale. Was my every day watch for 35 years. Have since retired it, but still take it out once in a while, just because.

I'm convinced! The moonwatch has been high on my highly desired list since.... well as long as I have known it existed, but I didn't think I had to get one but now I know I do and reminded why I have always wanted one. The history, the pedigree, the quality. 😍

Andrew - thanks for the re-re-re-re-review. It's as-always, well written and on-point. I physically watched Armstrong step out on to the surface of the moon as a wide-eyed seven year old, and that event, along with all of the Apollo and preceding space programs Mercury and Gemini changed the course of my life and set of interests forever. I've always yearned for a Speedmaster Professional, and last year after one of your reviews I actually went and bought a Heselite version of the 3861 to stay as close to the original as possible. I love the Heselite's distortions and although I've already scratched it up, they're all MY scratches and it looks like the daily wearer that it should. The case and bracelet, in contrast, haven't seen a mark. It has character and shows that it's worn to be used and loved. The solid caseback with the proper hippocampus and moon-related script is so more desirable tome than the sapphire version. It's been an absolutely wonderful experience for me, and along with the tech I have that history on my wrist with me every day now. It's reliable to less than +two seconds irrespective of what I'm doing each day, and as such I flatly refuse to ever sell it now. Grail watch? Admittedly, yes. Worthy of that? Hell yes.

I'll be treating myself to one when I finish my military career. A piece of history that will always be relevant.

What i love about the Speedmaster is, there is no real barrier to entry. No its not cheap, but its is achievable and once you can afford it. Its yours. This watch also transcends social classes, you could be a billionaire, royalty or slogging it out day to day and this watch will not look out of place. Its a true icon

At 90's ''Apollo 13'' was the movie and this timepiece was the reward for 1 lucky customer at cinemas in Turkey. Don't know who was that lucky one but what I know is I am in love with this masterpiece at the first time I saw it and still growing in me.

There are other great watches out there that can round out the top 5 or 10 but the Speedmaster is too iconic and checks too many boxes to be anything other than number 1 of all time. Thank you for this and I hope everyone is enjoying their Speedies in good health!

Out of all the watches I own, the basic Speedmaster Moon watch 3861 is probably the most accurate, durable, and easiest to read. Every time I wear it I’m amazed by how good it is. I almost feel guilty ignoring some of my more expensive and harder to get watches.

My two favorite watches are the Moonwatch and the Seamaster. Would love to own both. Someday…

Your presentation, and historical summary of this watch, is very good. I opted for the Speedmaster FOIS, to me, it was more historically significant, as it wasn't even a watch ,that was " certified" for its latter , legendary missions, as the Speedmaster evolved.

Thanks for sharing your insights into Omega's history and the Speedmaster, as always masterfully told. And it was extremely gratifying to hear you refer to Destin's Smarter Every Day series of videos on the lunar missions. As I noted in your other AMW video posted today, it seems the love of all things engineering and mechanical and science and space is what brings us enthusiasts together. Sure a smartwatch can do a hundred things and never lose accuracy, but it just would never have the pull, the romance, the sheer elegance and emotions we techno/engineering/science geeks derive from finely made watches (even quartz watches).

Since I got mine, it has dethroned the Submariner as a daily wear, mostly because of how comfortable the bracelet is

I bought mine a week ago (the sapphire sandwich version). I liked it even more after I had it sized and on wrist. As others have said, it's got such a classical design and very versatile in that it goes with anything. This is my second Omega after buying a Seamaster 300m a couple of years ago. But I am now partial to the Speedy!

Got one to celebrate my 30th bday last year and think its a lifetime keeper. Every time i get to it in rotation i just love the size and the fit of the new bracelet. See through case back has all of my non watch geek friends mesmerized and is such a cool touch. Crazy how easy they are to get into compared to Rolex but so much history and build quality.

I’ve had my Speedmaster for over 10 years now and I still catch myself staring at it when I wear it. It’s one of the linchpins of my collection and is truly a fantastic watch, not least for its accomplishments, but also for its incredibly coherent, legible, and beautiful design.

An articulate ode to an extraordinary watch. While other watches shout and flash, the Speedy just gets on quietly, confident in its ability. Nothing to prove. While the obvious competition has come and gone from my collection, the Speedy stays. True keeper.

Agreed this is the best watch ever made. It’s not just about Omega’s accomplishments though. It’s for so many reasons. It’s symmetry, versatility with straps, wearability, it’s aesthetic. The Speedy pro gets so much right in my books. My favourite watch. 🍻

I bought a limited edition Tokyo Olympics 2020 Speedmaster, importing it from Japan. The games were of course deferred to 2021. It was still boxed, original price tag attached, amazing presentation white wooden box. I spent weeks researching it and even with import tax, it cost less than similar used mint versions available in Europe. I think it's a stunning watch.

That movement is simply gorgeous. Those shots of the movement are incredible.

I have this exact watch and it is….perfect 👌🏼 Omega got the look spot on first time and this new version has been tweaked in all the right places but looks almost identical to the original. Pure timeless class pure timeless classic 👌🏼

They are beautiful…I absolutely love manual wind too

Completely agree - for all the reasons you mention and the overall aesthetic. IMHO, the layout and proportions of the face and case are the best of any watch, anywhere - it is a *perfectly* balanced and proportioned watch face. Then, matched with a beautifully finished case and bracelet, display back (sapphire sandwich), amazing 3861 movement, affordable and available, and complements a sharp suit or jacket as easily as jeans and a t-shirt. No contest.

Love my Moonwatch (with Hesalite crystal), I treated myself five years ago when I got a promotion at work, and I've worn it regularly ever since. It still makes me smile every time I look at it. There are many great watches, but for me, the Moonwatch is the GOAT.

Love the speedie!! Have a 1966 with the 321 in it. I believe I’m going to get a 3861 for a daily. It checks all the boxes. Aesthetics, mechanics, history of the brand, history of the watch, coaxial, accuracy, price … I could go on. So, why is the speedmaster the best? All I can say, is this, for those who know no explanation is necessary, for those who don’t none will suffice.

I love the history of Omega and the Speedmaster series. When it came down to buying my first Omega though, I had to go with the Speedmaster ‘57 with the automatic movement. They are substantially more (around $9k USD) but I like the dial and bracelet a lot more than the Professional. I’m also an Auto kind of guy. I recently acquired a Seamaster Aqua Terra on a rubber strap for a casual knock about but it shares equal time on my wrist with the Speedy. When you visit an Omega Boutique you are treated in such a wonderful manner by people who love the brand as much as you do. There’s no Rolex or AP games. If it’s in the case, it’s in stock for sale that day. I spent a few hours there last time when getting the Aqua Terra and could have spent even longer. I can’t say enough positive things about the Omega customer experience.

Even if i have to finance it, I will own this watch one day. But once I do, I'll have to figure out who to bequeath it to when I pass ...

This is THE best watch video ever. Ive stood on Launch Pad 39a, the history is palpable and humbling. Knowing this watch was an important part of it must be so satisfying for owners of the Speedmaster. Great job Andrew.

I love my Speedmaster so much. (An 861 from 1970, with a tropical brown dial and ghosted grey bezel). After I got it (9 years ago) I ended up selling the rest of my vintage collection… it’s really the only watch I’ve ever wanted to wear since. Comfy, cool and awesome.

I totally agree. It was my first luxury watch bought last year and it will most likely be my last but even if I am lucky enough to be able to buy another or more luxury watches the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch will always be my favourite and the greatest 😊

after watching this video a while back, it became my dream and favorite watch, nothing has changed

I settled on the 3861 sapphire sandwich as my college graduation gift to myself. Couldn’t be happier. This will be passed down to my future kids and I will wear this my entire life.

This watch is definitely a grail for me. Part of my collection is dedicated to space watches. From Yuri Gagarin's 33mm Sturmanskie to the Bulova Lunar Pilot; the 2nd watch on the moon. There are still a few slots to fill. The Seiko Pogue, Bulova Astronaut, Breitling Cosmonaut, Sin 140/142 St and the Fortis Cosmonaut. And yet there's only one watch that took that "one small step for man.." on Buzz Aldrin's wrist.

For anyone really interested in Apollo 11, "First Man" starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong really helps you understand just how Incredible that mission was; the sacrifices made in order for us to reach the moon and how relatively primitive the technology was that got us there. One of the most underrated films of the past decade for me.

Totally agree. I’ve had my Speedy 1861 for 15 years and since bought an IWC BPW and a Breitling SOH but still love the Speedy because of its classic look and heritage.

Agreed completely, and WatchFinder is doing an incredible service to have so many subs and call it like it is in terms of consistently boosting Grand Seiko and Omega. Wearing a 3861 sapphire sandwich as I type this. I was slow to come around on the Moonwatch, wore a Speedy 38 for a while, but yeah, everything in this video is spot on. And I'd add, the thinness bc of manual wind is striking, and the movement decoration on the 3861 is really quite respectable. Omega handles themselves with the same class and quality they build a watch with. Crank out amazing work, do right by enthusiasts, and gladly put one of the most iconic watches of all time on the wrist of anyone walking in the door who has the means...and then come out with a super affordable version as well to open the enjoyment to a much wider audience. Yeah, MoonSwatch was botched a bit, but hopefully they'll work out the kinks.

As I am deciding on my first luxury watch, I can’t help but come back to my first choice when I didn’t know anything about watches: the speedy pro. I am a historian, and it’s the story that drew me to the moon watch in the first place. It still does. Currently, I am choosing between it and the Dornbluth. Torn between mass made and micro.

Agree. I’d only sell mine to buy a newer one. Would not go without one in my collection.

This is the video format I prefer, just beautiful and smooth recordings of the masterpieces that watches are, Omega in particular

I agree that this is a truly great watch. I own a pre- moon 105.012-63 with the original bracelet. My research shows it was manufactured in the 2nd half of the first year of production and that it is the model that Armstrong used for the moon landing.

Love my Speedy. Almost sold it last year because I wasn’t wearing it enough. Then I saw what I was being offered, what I paid for it in 2021 and what it’s selling for NOW. Needless to say, it’s on my wrist a lot more. Great video!

Also great… Timeless looks. 1957 continues to look fantastic in 2023. That’s hard to do and speaks to Omegas design capabilities. The watch is a total strap monster. Seriously, it’s the only watch on the market that looks great with EVERY strap you throw at it. Such a rarity in watches I love my 3570.50 :)

Well done. Excellent video! I just got a moonwatch (1863) for Christmas. It was my dream watch for years.

Fantastic video. Top 3 of watch videos I've seen in the last three years. I may be biased because it's my grail watch, but the information in your short video was especial compared to every other video I've seen about the Speedmaster. Thanks so much!

My most expensive watch. I wanted to treat myself after the birth of my daughter (after all that hard work I did!) and had essentially narrowed it down to the Speedy and the El Primiero. As much as to this day I still want an El Primiero, the speedy just hits different... more humble, less flashy, with higher legibility. A watch that can be worn casually or dressed up... it's surprisingly versatile. I didn't get that vibe with the El primiero. Then I did the "wrong" thing and got the sapphire sandwich. I don't care about the "authenticity" aspect... I'm not going to the moon anytime soon. As you've seen from this video the movement is unrivalled at this price point. I need to be able to look at it. And still do this day, everytime I wear it 3 years later.

Completely agree. That's my grail! The ultimate goal. To own a Moonwatch.

My wife agreed to donate to (and allow) my Speedy Pro fund as a wedding gift. I went with the 3861 Sapphire Sandwhich. I have worn it every single day since I picked it up from the dealer, and it really is the perfect piece. A few extra strap options, and it can do basically anything, sans swimming. I love the manual wind. I would be disappointing if I woke up in the morning and didn't get to fiddle with it because an automatic movement had done my job for me in the middle of the night while I was tossing and turning. This thing will never leave my wrist.

My thoughts. It’s a great watch, I have owned it. Along with various Omega, Rolex, Tudor, Breiting, TAG and many others throughout the years. My last fine watch and maybe the most difficult to let go was my 42mm Blue Tudor Pelagos. But I always return to the same watch. A $500 Apple Watch ⌚️. I like having perfect time & date. Along with my full calendar, tasks, reminders, contacts, messages and on and on. I use my stopwatch and timers everyday. Honorable mentions, full fitness tracking, sleep tracking, heart rate and many more.

It really is the most amazing watch out there. Not only does it have all those qualities that you pointed out, but it also; looks amazing without being gaudy, is a large and 'modern' size yet still manages to look great on any size wrist, and it's something you can wear without worrying that someone will cut off your wrists to take from you.

The 3861 sapphire (the one in this video) is not £5700. It's £6800. Probably be more than £7000 after the impending Feb price increase. Still the greatest value for money.

My first "luxury" watch was a Speedy with caliber 1863 bought in 2000. Had it's first service last year but was still very accurate prior to. This watch will never leave my collection and will be passed down.

This is the one watch I have always wanted. Such a clean, nice look. Great functionality. Tradition and fame. Quality. It has it all. And the price tag to match. I'll probably never be able to afford one, but one can dream.

Agreed. I sometimes find myself torn between my Omega Moonwatch and Longines Master Collection Chronograph Moonphase. Both are absolutely beautiful and incredible value. Highly recommend the Longines for anyone wanting an elegant nice piece without breaking the bank

Got one, love it.

Have this Moonwatch, love it, and agree with this video. Although the crown should have been slightly bigger to make winding easier it's nearly the perfect watch.

Thanks for the video - it was and still is my dream watch. Have it for almost 30 years now. Still running ecxellent and it's a timeless peace of art. Being Swiss I'm proud of the excellent quality and the region where they manufacture those watches is beautiful. Still waiting to get a Rolex Daytona one day......

Just an amazing creation… brilliant…

I’m glad to see you made this video considering that not that long ago you listed it as one of the most OVERRATED watches. The speedy has been and will always remain a classic and in my opinion the best chronograph watch made especially for the price point !

Totally agree, the history, the styling (that’s barely changed) and that movement. Nothing beats a Speedy.

I bought one new back in 2018, because I love manual chronograph time pieces, and it was my first Swiss watch. I never thought it would gain popularity.

Great video. I love my speedy, I have a caliber 1861 and it is excellent. The story behind these and the testing involved in the flight certification is amazing. I actually sought out an 1861 solely because it is much closer to the original 321. Also the caliber 861 actually flew on the later Apollo missions as well as the shuttle missions. The 1861 is the exact same movement just rhodium plated. I wanted that lineage. I am on the list for a Pepsi GMT now but I have to say my moonwatch is just better...

A few years ago I was looking for the best “bang for the buck” chronograph and the Speedy, a Breitling chrono and the Zenith El Primero made the cut. I was leaning more to the Speedy because of its history and how well it was made. The only problem was at that price point, $5k+, I wanted a watch that kept better time, at least COSC certified or close to it. Then came the 3861! I pulled the trigger and got the “sapphire sandwich.” As I wore the watch for the first few months, I realized that the only thing missing to make this a perfect watch was an adjustable clasp. Omega just announced they are now selling an adjustable clasp for the 3861. Game over! What other watch at this price point has the history, the movement, and the classy/rugged utility of the Speedy?

Your sentiment was the same reasoning I used to purchase my 3861 calibre solid back, hesalite glass in June 2022 It is not only an incredible price for the level of engineering / craftsmanship but to be able to own an elegant piece of history

Your video was perfect timing (pun intended!). I just got the new 3861 Moonwatch a few months ago but I just swapped out the caseback for a sapphire caseback this week to see that beautiful movement! I gave my Speedy a mullet, business in the front and party in the back! I totally agree with your assessment, as a watch nerd and a space nerd! Thanks for the extra links too!
