I have the slightly later 3539.50 model. It addressed all the issues raised in the first point. It has sapphire, 100m water resistance and a proper milled clasp. I love mine to bits.

Thank you Oleg...I really like the look of the Speedy reduced - this is a very helpful video 😊👍

Lovely watch. Got myself a SMP last July. I tend to ding my watches but still went for the hesalite crystal cause it’s that much closer to the original. That plus the fact that last July was also the 50th anniv of the moon landing made the nerd in me very excited about the watch and still feel like that. Hope your SMA brings you the same joy. Cheers!

Great video. Thanks for making & sharing

Great video 👍. I contemplated buying either the reduced or the Professional for a long time. Ended up purchasing the Professional (hesalite) brand new because of the history behind it. Actually wearing it right now. I haven’t ruled out the automatic- maybe some day!

Good points you made here. Found out some things I didn't know (non-screwback case). Thanks for the info. Give my regards to Bond!

Love how you call it the Speedmaster Automatic and not a Reduced. I just acquired a gold bezel reference 175.0032. I love it and it pretty much has dominated my wrist since I unboxed it. The only real downside is that I'm not very thrilled about the chronograph pushers and I am VERY conscious about nicking the bezel. Otherwise, I think this the Speedy Auto is a keeper for life. Relatively hard to find with the champagne dial.

Thanks for the great content :)) Oleg & Bond

Hi Oleg. Hi Bond. That was a really good upload and an important one too, because *so many* people end up with a Speedy in their collection at one time or another. Really good to hear your advice and wisdom after a year of ownership. I'm surprised to hear how 'delicate' it is. Most reviewers rely on the 'it's a moon watch, so its as tough as nails' legend, but as you rightly say - it is, for all intents and purpose, a 'vintage' piece. Personally I like an aluminium bezel and a hesalite crystal. A vintage styled watch should patina like a vintage watch IMO. Unfortunately, that *might* mean that I have to buy one new - I want all that patina to be mine!, especially on such an important buy. Also that reminder about servicing costs is so important. As they say, if you can't afford to service it, you can't afford to own it. I can't see myself having the funds to buy one for some time - but I'll be keeping all of these tips in the back of my mind until I do. Cheers mate. Stay well.

love the intro Oleg :) . iwould like to have this watch to add to my collection.

I hope all is well Oleg. Always enjoy the videos. Nice watch, good coffee and no video is complete without a cameo from Bond.

Great review Oleg, about 20 years ago. I had a chance to purchase a Speedmaster but opted for a mid-size Seamaster automatic at 1/2 price from Lugaro in Burnaby. Loved my Seamaster but always thought in the back of my mind...maybe I made the wrong choice. Would have loved to have both, returned a week later, it was sold.

Great video really good content, Frankinwatch was a great insight. Only thing I'd say is we don't wanna see you make coffee 😅 great video either way!!

Thanks very much for your Speedmaster Reduced reviews. I was looking for one for a while and finally decided to buy it few weeks ago after watching your videos. Did have to service it for $300, but the watch totally worth it

Hi Oleg good to see a video on my grail watch! I have the 42mm Professional moon watch & absolutely love it! It’s worn very seldom but the intention was never to expose it the so called fragility’s you talked about.🤪 Then again I am not that paranoid to leave it in a security bubble 24/7, in case some dust may accumulate upon it! HA!!!🤣 The look of these watches to me is the best chronograph ever! In relation to your strap dilemma, in particular leather 18mm, what about a military WW2 style one minus the cover?...🤔 Cheers from Oz👍🏼 P.s. When you started. Your vid & made a coffee, I bloody had to pause you & make myself one! 🤭 Thank God you didn’t make lunch!!!🤣🤣🤣

Hi Oleg I’ve had one of these fo about 8 years. Don’t know whether you could call it a coming classic, but according to Chrono24 it has increased 35% in value since I bought it. That almost pays my service costs as I used around 1000$ on an complete authorized Omega service a year ago... Never mind; I didn’t buy it as an investment but because it’s a beautiful timepiece. I use it in rotation with other watches as it is, as you also point out, a quite fragile watch. More suitable for everyday use than more rough conditions really. More than enough for me - I can always strap my G Shock on otherwise. I love the Speedy Reduced and will never get rid of it😊❤️👍

Great video. I have mine from Japan as well. They are also highly polished which looks spectacular for some but might be disappointing for those who are searching for the historical signs.

I have the reduced with triple date, sapphire crystal and pusher are in line with the crown. I'm very happy

Great update brother....it's a classic in it's own right....⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That’s the way to male coffee 🙏🏻 The speedy, not important which version, is an awesome watch. Rocking my professional since years, no troubles so far and I found it quite durable, washing it in the sink, rocking it globally, never let me down. Stay safe my friend 👍🏻🙏🏻

Hope you will review omega speedmaster racing cal9900 soon, really looking forward to that.

Got one and I love it!

Lovely looking watch but for me too many compromises regarding crystal, press back, bracelet size etc. for the price. Great channel mate.

That is very nice. The Old Speedmasters do have a great design.

Omega is popular here in Japan. I went to the post office the other day and one of the employees had an Aqua Terra on his wrist.

Top man on the coffee Oleg, percolator is the nicest followed by French press 👍☕️

Great video, thanks! Love my speedy automatic, but have to say, I find the OEM bracelet a real arm hair puller and not that comfortable to wear. Any suggestions on a classy leather alternative?

Thank you !

I'm here for watches and Mr. Bond, dont show me coffee prep.

It is very interesting 👏👏👏

Great old school coffe making Oleg! I know this swatch has a pretty big following, but it’s never appealed to me, unlike the Omega Seamaster which I would love to own.

Mr. Bond steaks the show as usual. I know the feeling. My newborn always gets all the comments. 😂 Nice Watch and good review.

Pro tip: use filtered water for ur coffee. Coffee is only as good as the water you use to make it

The little extra shots are a nice touch.

Thank you for the information . This watch is to much trouble !

I love mine 42mm, sapphire crystal, screw down case, transparent case back...

Hey man great video as always! Wondering if you’ve given some thought to servicing through Omega directly? Price is high (I think 750 currently) but they will replace parts as needed and will make the watch look almost brand new! I probably would be more reluctant to do that with a Moonwatch or something highly collectible as replacement parts and polishing would lower resale value. But I’ve given some thought to buying a less collectible watch like a 3511 which you can grab for 1300-1500 sometimes, sending to service and having basically a brand new looking watch for around 2k. But def would be one I was just looking to keep so wouldn’t care about resale value. In any case just a thought. Huge fan of the channel!

I could easily live with this watch, as the 39mm diameter is perfect for me, but my OCD says no to the chronograph pushers not being aligned with the crown.

Nice Vid!!I wish Omega would get on the ball and taper all bracelets

Would you happen to remember if with its automatic movement if you could hear it swinging

Is that Bialetti intro an homage to TGV? Well done...

Hi Oleg...I can see you've been brought up watching TGV and Adrian!! :) (drinking coffee) joke appart..., I also have a reduced but contrary to you I have rather chicken wrists which makes the reduced a bit more appropriate. I think a larger watch suits you slighly better...imho if you dont mind me saying... The thing is omega measures the watch at the bottom hence the 39ish but in reality it wears like a 36/37....Now, this watch has a special charm and i find it as desirable as the Pro which is too big for me but I'm sure you could handle it ! cheers

Iconic 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Oleg. Over a year ago I thought of buying the Speedmaster reduced. On eBay the seller sent me a copy of the service that was done. $1100.00 US Dollars. So I lost interest in it. That was done at Omega somewhere. I forgot. There is also another one called the First Omega in space. I think it is 39mm also and might be more money than reduced. I have not found any yet as I have not been looking. Mechanical chronographs are expensive to fix no matter what you get.

Hey, guys. Since my taste greatly exceeds my buying capacity, do you think is crazy to think of acquiring this watch (it's my dream watch) and forget abour servicing ? (I can live with even +45 or -45 a day and i don't wanna pay EVER for $700 servicing) Thanks!

Way above my price range,but i did get a Corgeut homage of that particular model.The sub dial at three references twenty four hours but i did notice they have copied the hollow end links.Get one of these and protect the real thing for special occasions................

A watchmaker who won’t service a Speedmaster Reduced is either lazy or incompetent. Or a combination of the two.

I want one!

What kind of airplane damages watches? SR71?

Woah, did a TGV video slip in here?

Nice editing. I don’t like watches with features I don’t use (tachymeter), so the speedmaster will never be on my radar.

Sounds like you’re really loving it! Lol

just ordered mine! so hype

9:00 Oleg, are you sure that Bond isn't in fact a Sphynx cat?

Is this the Speedmaster Reduced???

Sometimes I get why people would pay extra for one of the "luxury" Swiss brands just because of the name. This isn't one of those times. But as always the only thing that matters ultimately, whatever your watch, is if you like and enjoy it

So why do you suggest not wearing this watch on airplanes?

A little confused...didn't they wear this watch to the moon? How could it be so fragile? I thought Omega won the competition for the moon watch because it was able to withstand the rigors of space travel?

Oleg, that Moka coffee machine is supposed to serve *six* people...

Would have prefered a vodka and Vostok review

For Mr. Bond and coffie 5 stars other hmm :)

So you mean you don't grind your own coffee? heresy!

One of my grails beautiful piece there is a fake corgeut makes it

Its hard to find 18mm watch straps, even your site doesnt have them😂

I think you just bought the wrong version of the Speedy for yourself. I bought a 50th Anniversary 1957 Edition (2007 year model). It’s 42mm, 20mm bracelet, sapphire crystal and case back with the automatic 3313 caliber Co-Axial movement and an engineered clasp and 100M water resistance. Not the Speedmaster the problem, more the version you bought for yourself. I did a full overhaul at Omega for 1100$ CDN txs included. It was the first time it had been serviced. Paid 4300$ CDN for it in August 2019. It’s a keeper I will never sell

Thought this was bark and jack

About the service... not that crazy about it, just about the same price as servicing a rolex datejust

Omega an incredible brand#hugerespect

It would be a nice 500 dollars watch

i mean, it went on the moon, but not water resistant, why?

dont ruin your coffee with milk :))

You shouldn't press the coffee on the container/funnel, just let it sit man. It's not an espresso machine 😂

I love your channel and reviews, but I don’t know if I can watch another hand over the lens transition to coffee porn. I’ll keep watching either way and just skip through it, but not every channel needs to be Peter McKinnon. I think even Peter McKinnon is tired of Peter McKinnon. Like I said, I think you make great reviews and really enjoy the channel. You don’t need gimmicks.

Ahh... the classic KZfaq making-a-coffee lifestyle cliche.....

Acrylic crystal, snap on back and pressed clasp on a $2,000 watch seems ridiculous. I have bought $50 Chinese throw-aways that have sapphire crystals. I love how it looks, but come on.

There are more Speedmaster variants than there is stars in the sky so l am no longer considering it as a possible acquisition. Omega has unspecialed it to death... Too bad. More variants to come....

It's a shame that a watch associated with moon landing is so fragile.. :(

Tip Number 1, REAL Speedmaster is not automatic. Again, REAL Speedmaster that is considered the decedent of the watches that were wore by Astronauts has manual wind. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Now you can thank me.

No, no, no, no, no... You do not tamp the grounds in a mokka pot...

Govorish pa russkiy?

Does not seem good value for money from what you mentioned...

.......a speed master for $2000 ???

What you need to know - Buy a Rolex.

Oh yes,it has a Seiko VK64 movement.........

Omega’s movement frequency and sub-second marker MISMATCH is FRAUD. They use 6 and 8 Vibr/Second movements combined with 1/5th sec markers on the dial. The chronograph hand misses all sub-second markers on all of these speedmasters, cannot be stoppoed on any of these markers, for almost 60 years, and no one talks about it. DESIGN FRAUD for profit.

Too much complication for watch. Pass!

The beard got longer, the man boobs bigger... damn covid, you‘re a killer 🙅🏼‍♂️. Jokes aside, I love your videos man, keep it up. Really relatable stuff, I‘m in the same bracket in terms of watches I can afford👍🏼
