Opinions on Omega Speedmaster

That’s the reason why Rolex is so popular. 95% of Rolex buyers have no idea of the build quality or heritage they only want the recognition of owning a luxury watch. I also agree Omega does go overboard with Limited editions but so do most other brands.

OP any true watch enthusiasts should have a speedmaster in their collection. Just history behind it is enough to justify getting one plus it’s not that expensive. It’s a very cool watch. It’s also a great under the radar watch if you don’t want to draw much attention. Only WIS would know what it was and that has lots of benefits to a watch enthusiast that loves looking at his watch but finds himself in a situation that day when he doesn’t want anyone else looking/noticing it.

Well said Brett.

Thank you very much! I just charged the watch lumina under the spotlight and used my iPhone 11 Pro to capture it.. and a nice angle as well

My sentiments exactly.

Beautiful
Hoping to get one later this year

Do have a question though; any side by side shots for Speedmaster 60 Trilogy and FOIS on this forum?
Smaller wristed myself and the 60th has a L2L 48mm I believe en FIOS 47mm
But I wonder about the case design (amount of curve etc?)

I haven't seen any side by side photos that I can recall. The case on the FOIS is 1.1mm larger in diameter 39.7mm versus 38.6 for the the 60th, but the lugs do look straighter and longer on the 60th.

Definately looking to add a Speedmaster Professional at some point, just not currently top of my wanted list.

A must for any serious collection, I have a Speedy Professional manual wind I usually wear on a black crocodile leather strap, stainless steel bracelet at times.
