Summary: A Magnificent Legacy from the Analog Era
Comment: The Omega Speedmaster is one of the very few watches that have gone orbiting the Earth and the only one landed on the Moon. It is a pleasure to wind it manually and its feats are legendary (like when one timed the exact moment to ignite the engines of the failed Apollo 13 Mission). Therefore I recommend it to anyone who enjoys fine craftsmanship, tradition and value, since it is one of the most affordable high-end watches on the market.

Summary: Since 1983...
Comment: Bought in 1983 for about 800 bucks. It's a little heavy, but it is so beautiful. I wear it 5 - 10 times / month. One new crystal needed in 1998. No work on the mechanical movement, ever.

Worn by Michael Schumacher and Michael Crichton, to name a few.

An old Swiss friend told me (back in 1983) that you look at your watch 30 - 100 times a day--why not have a beauty (he had a Patek Phillipe).

Consider it a 20 year investment.

Summary: Good Size Watch
Comment: I've never seen this watch up close before so all the descriptions about how big and heavy the watch was really had me concerned. After receiving this I find it to be a perfectly sized men's watch. My day to day watch was a Suunto Vector. The Omega has the same size face but the case of the watch is thinner and smaller than the Vector so it looks just right to me. The weight is solid and I got used to it quickly. The links weren't too difficult to adjust but you may want to take this to a watchsmith or purchase a pin extract tool to go with this (I popped the pins out with a thumbtack and then used a leatherman to pull it the rest of the way out - be careful not to scratch the band). All in all a solid purchase with no regrets.

Summary: Horological classiness!
Comment: The OMEGA SpeedMaster Professional "moonwatch" is a historical, significant piece of horology and NASA space/moon exploration that you can wear on your wrist! While Rolex has also spent time in space via their GMT model the SpeedMaster was the first watch on the moon and used to help time rocket burns. It is tough and accurate. Mine has been running +/- 5 seconds/day and while it's strange to wind my watch by hand after being used to "automatics", it has earned a place on my wrist for life. This model is a must have for any true watch collector OR space exploration, Apollo Mission, history buff.

Summary: Classic Beauty
Comment: Even if you take out it's acheivements in the Space Program, this watch could stand on it's own as one of the finest timepieces ever built. I sit it next to the Rolexes in my watch case and it instantly takes command, making the Rolexes seem like unworthy subordinates. Plus, call me wierd but I love the morning winding ritual. This has become my treasured daily-wearer and will continue to be until it outlasts me.
