Ed White 321 vs FOIS
If I could just have one Speedy in my collection - which should I get? My main priorities for this watch are one that best represents the space heritage and will remain a classic for a long time to come.
Both options would be directly purchased from an omega boutique. Cost is not a factor! |

Cost not a factor then it's easy. Get a 321 Speedmaster. Even better get the full platinum bracelet Speedy 321 for $97k.

Judging by your criteria, 321 for sure. Not even comparable.

With your criteria and with cost not being a factor for you, the 321 is the way to go.
Good luck you with your choice!

For me it's definitely the 321 Ed White.
This reference is pretty much the best Omega has to offer. The aesthetics, the technology and the history are unique. |

Unfair comparison! 321 by far.
Unless it's a vintage FOIS with a 321. |

I don’t know about “weird”…. The results show that, cost not being a factor, almost no one would take the blue-grey dial, new domed crystal, more modern movement and adjustable clasp of the FOiS over the 321. I mean, I thought it would a big win for the 321 (and I voted for the EW), but not totally overwhelming (26-1 as of this post).

Is this a serious question? I'm just shocked you found one person to vote for the FOIS.

I am one of the FOIS’s biggest fans but it doesn’t win here. It’s a bit of an unfair fight though. The 321 movement is a show stopper.

Opting for the Speedmaster 321 for its direct link to the original Moonwatch and timeless space heritage.
