Imagine in the near future, once man sets up shop on the Moon. Omega sets up a factory on the moon and literally manufactures the Speedmaster Moonwatch on the Moon and than sends it back to Earth...a Real Moonwatch that's made and been on the moon and Imagine Omega also adds a small Moon Rock in the Box! A Man can dream.

Or maybe, moon-rock can be used in the making of the hands on the dial or hour marks. That'd be so valuable

Tried on a Speedy for the first time a few weeks ago. Took me all my strength to take it off at the AD.

Oh no, every once in a while TGV covers my grail watch and now I´m noticing the video an hour too late and way past my bedtime. To make the most out of it l´m going to save this treat for the weekend. Good night!

Great timing to review the Omega Moon Watch in the same week as we said goodbye to Michael Collins.......the quiet often forgotten third member of the Hostoric event.

RIP. One of the greatest explorers of all time. Brave men.

it's positive that the movement is an improved version of the original. It embraces the entire concept of the lunar mission which was fueled by advancement in technology rather than sticking to the old.

The graduation of the minute track is now actually more accurate than it was before. The new movements after the 321 have been changed to a frequency of 3 Hz and thus no longer being 1/5 of a second - the 5 indices graduation was no longer accurate. Now they corrected it.

There's a line from the film, "Three Amigos"......"Can I have your watch when you are dead?" We all love your exquisite KZread channel....First-Class!

As an owner of a145.022 from 1983, I really appreciate the work put into the 2021 version. To me, the all brushed bracelet totally makes the watch!

1969: sending a man to the moon and returning him safely. 2021: sending a man to Asda and returning him safely.. 😜 I love the Speedy tho, great vid 👍

Just picked the sapphire sandwich/manual wind version up last weekend. I went into the AD to buy a Rolex and walked out with this! After I put it on my wrist I was sold. It literally fit me like a glove and I love the bracelet.

It's worth noting that the precision hasn't been affected by the reduction in hash count for the outer chronograph track. The seconds hand can now be stopped on and in-between the hashes, allowing for timing up to 1/6th of a second. The 1861's hashes were never updated despite the change in beat rate from 321 to 861.

TGV, Im from France and I discovered your channel few days ago, and Im obsessed with your videos, cannot stop watching them! The picture, the storys and the hudge work you put on it is amazing! I send you all kidness and strenght from France !!! (and you made me start my watch collection with the Sarb033, as a 22 years old student, couldnt dream a better watch to start in this price range, thank you !)

We asked. TGV delivered. The only speedy review worth watching.

There have been so many videos comparing these but yet I waited for yours to watch any of them. Class Act my man!! Great great great intro (as always)! Love your work. Keep it up!!

At 13:42 we can see the Omega logo stamped on the crystal. Nice view.

Thank you TGV for the great and detailed comparison. Very well done! Stay healthy and well! Nick

A beautiful vintage intro that captures the feel of the watch. I bought the discontinued version last year & am ‘over the moon’ with the purchase. Great video as always my friend!

I absolutely love the Speedmaster. I've come so close to pulling the trigger so many times on one myself and now this new generation is making me want to once again.

Beautiful intro, once again! I’m seriously considering buying my first speedy. I like the new version and next to the new movement the new dial and exhibition caseback on the sapphire version seem very exquisite. Thank you for this in depth comparison.

That is a dapper wardrobe mate

Fantastic intro! Been waiting for this video ever since I got the 2021 hesitate speedy.

Great intro. the music! your review corroborates my initial impressions of the new 2021 Speedmaster 3861. I couldn't resist this one and picked up the Sapphire on steel model yesterday. I'm proud to report that I couldn't be happier with this acquisition. I truly hope you rekindle your love for the Speedy TGV. Any viewer of the channel knows how much it has meant to you over the years, but I understand how you might not gravitate toward to the moonwatch forever, especially as you've stated you have smaller wrists. On my 7" wrist, this watch fits better than the old model ever could. What an update.

An absolute joy good Sir! Thank you for an absolute master-class.I bought mine in Japan 7 years ago.Now I appreciate it even more!

Superb quality intro, seldom do I watch through intros instead of skipping them, but this channel is the exception

Would love to see the Speedmaster take on two branches. Keep the hesalite model as close to the original for the purists and make the sapphire version the modern rendition. Give it all the bells and whistles, sapphire display case and crystal, 100m water resistance, ceramic bezel. If you're going to branch off might as well go all the way and make it a super watch. Great review and happy to see that you got to have your hands on one of these again!

Great review, hopefully getting 2021 model this year as my first speedy. Keep up the great work.

Loved watching this with my 1861 Hesalite on wrist. Tried the 3861, nice watch but won’t replace my trusty 1861. Good video sir!

I enjoy you doing a comparison of old vs new, great vid TGV.

Cracking video TGV, and thank you for your commitment to the cause. Oh, also happy anniversary to the channel....May 4th wasn't it.....ciao

Another splendid episode on an icon! Strong work TGV. Cheers 🍻

Recently bought the Speedy Reduced with sapphire crystal (Ref 3539.50) ... and I'm loving it! Best of both worlds. Looks and feels like the classic Speedy but with practical and everyday upgrades. Not to mention, 39mm is more friendly to medium size wrists.

Outstanding video intro to your review of this historical watch! I just purchased the hesalite version of this new Speedmaster Moonwatch with the nylon strap. I am not much of a metal bracelet person. I love this watch and it is the most comfortable wearing watch in watch collection. As the first watch worn on the moon, it has great historical significance to me. Also, I had the opportunity of personally meeting two of the astronauts (Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin -second man to walk on the moon and the first to wear the Speedmaster on the moon, and Apollo 15 astronaut Col. James Irwin - the 8th man to walk on the moon) who both wore the Speedmaster on the moon, which makes this watch even more special to me.

I’m so ready for this episode, hope you are well TGV 😎!

Such a big fan of your work. Tgv! But this intro man, I have been watching your videos for years now, and you raised your game with this one😁❤

The intro legit gave me chills. Couldn’t help but smile. Absolutely amazing work my guy. I may never be able to afford one, but the speedy is one of my all time favorite watches aesthetically. That aside, you really do have some of the best intros on the platform. Period. Let me know what you thought of my knife recommendations when you get the chance. Have a fantastic evening!

Wow! Fantastic quality comparison and historical review.

The best comparison of these astro-icons I've seen. All about the details, none about the click-bait. Nice! For me, the new watch is a complete improvement and reflects Omega's modern position and stature. Expertly refined, for once showing Rolex how to refine a legend! Probably should add one to the collection...

Great review! And the intro is a true capolavoro!

I love the new one. Just tried it on a few days ago at my trusty AD. The new bracelet just fits my small wrist better. What I would like omega to do is, as you mentioned before, More water resistance, ceramic bezel, and 70 hours power reserve. But maybe it would be too not omega like. Too modern in a way. So I love it the way it is. The movement is a step up. I own the FOIS and love that too. Thank you for the Great video. All the best

Awesome as usual! Thank you for the great contents! Ciao from Rome!

The intro was amazing

I hesitated on getting the previous model for several reasons, but this update addressed a few quibbles I had and then some. Still a shame that water resistance isn't better, but the changes were so thoughtfully done and - in aggregate - seem to revive its desirability. It will be mine!

Your intro gave me goosebumps. Absolutely epic.

Beautiful. I love how they keep to the traditional recipe and continue to refine and optimise it. I need to save up coin to get this grail.

Exquisite intro TGV as always , & a shout out to the great & much missed genius George Daniels !

Beautiful video. Incredibly well done 👏👏👏

Hi T, I do love the changes to the new Speedmaster. That bracelet is a great improvement. Very well done show too. I've not been on much, due to some awful health problems, but keep soldiering on! When I do get on KZread, it seems that your content and professionalism far exceeds the rest, definitely a joy to watch! Well done 👏 as usual! Hope you and yours are keeping well? Yours Faithfully Stuart

TGV - quality work. You've got some new effects tricks up your cuffs. Nice use of parallax. When you showed the side view of the pushers they looked like Alpinists for a brief second. Thanks for the vid, always learn something. I think I'm gonna be the guy that always says something about the Alpinist. Cheers

Interesting this is the first reviewer I've seen say that winding isn't as good as before. I will have to try it for myself at some point. Thanks for the great content and hope you are doing well!

Picked up the hesalite version in February and I love it.

At last , a proper review of the new speedy especially in comparison to the "now older" 1861 version , well done for picking up what others have left out.... No sharp wrist cutting edges on the case and bracelet then? I think one day soon , I should go to a A.D and try one on ..soon , or maybe a snoopy... the choices....haha

I LOVE the look of the new bracelet. I bought a speedy 18 months ago as my first "real" watch (with 2 rolexes and a Sinn added in the last year since the Speedy started my addiction) after having several seiko 5s, quartz seikosz, and citizens. It's an iconic face and I'm glad they've made a couple of cool subtle tweaks. I'm definitely going to the AD to check them out sometime in the next few days. The clasp looks like a real upgrade, and honestly that's my only gripe with the model I have. Easily remedied by putting it on a strap but I'm a bracelet guy so if I buy a new one it'll almost certainly be becaue of that and NOT the change to an automatic movement.

That intro gave me goosebumps. Great job as always TGV!

TGV, I assume you're a professional freelance video editor for a living? That intro was incredible. I'm amused that all the tech KZreadrs love to talk about video editing and act like they're filmmakers, meanwhile a dude with a watch channel puts them all to shame 🤣 Edit: love Speedys.

The central portion does fold into a very useful travel box though with the cushion fitting snuggly. Loving my new and only Speedy. Regards G

Thank you so much for answering a question about bracelet fitting. Heard it first on the best watch channel.

Thanks for the informative watch videos such as the one on Seiko's SARB033. Ball watches are an overlooked brand. They make an Engineer III Starlight 40mm with caliber RR1102 that is pretty much unknown to most. NM2182C-S12-BE1.

Hands down the best Omega Speedmaster to date 👏💪🏻 I love my 3861 version having owned 3 Speedmaster’s in the past with 1861, 861 movements 👌

you are the last person i would expect to hear complaining about the 50m water resistance and lack of screw down crown but i sooooo agree with this.

Been playing close attention to the changes as I have, At long last, saved enough to finally purchase it. I think I’m going to go with the sapphire crystal sandwich mainly because I want to be able to see the movement through the case-back. TGV, Thanks for a great review(as always), an the interesting history lesson…!

Best review I have seen of the new speedy. Hugely informative. Would love you to review the new Ed White.

I really like this watch, it’s definitely in my wishlist. Fortis watches are sick too, thanks TGV for the vid! 👍🏽

Thank you for this video. I love this channel!

I bought the same new speedy , the strap design is great. Beautiful watch, love it!

Got my dream watch on the way- Lorier neptune. So excited 😍

Oh my gosh ! I bought a Speedmaster before it was picked for NASA , actually very rugged , it actually became flooded with water , me neglecting to have it serviced (gaskets) , I left it like that for about 1w days before having it serviced , still going strong. Neat review !!!! ☺

The new dial is fantastic. Grazie per il video confronto! Saluti dall’Italia.

TGV - thanks as always for the high production values and story telling. Question for you: Seeing much internet discussion about the physical sharp edges of the new Speedy, and at other times push back against such claims. What was your experience? Were the machine edges sharper than the older version, would they give you a hot spot on your wrist or did the watch you handled feel just as non sharp or sharp as the prior version you had in the video?

@stefanogoldoni5059

I got my 3861 Speedy in July and I've been wearing it every day since. Are the edges sharper than my 1995 861 caliber? Certainly. Do they create any problems on your wrist or make the watch less comfortable? Absolutely not. The edges a little sharp but are no razor blades and you notice them only when you pick up the watch in the morning or pass the tip of you finger along them. My advice is don't be afraid of getting one for this reason if you love it.

😄What a fantastic mashup, TGV. So much creativity. Really digging the new "Chronograph Sweatshirt." Hope to see more stylings from you in the near future. Cheers....🥂
