 Since 1983... November 29, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
A real classic November 4, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This watch is a true classic. I've owned mine for over 30 years, I've worn it almost everyday and it still works like the day I got it. Yes, it's been in for repair a few times (after awhile the buttons stick), but this watch will outlast me.
It keeps perfect time, or as close as a mechanical watch can get, it's extremely easy to read and the chronograph funtions work better than any other chronograph I own. I charge by the hour, and this watch has been very handy for me, especially given the fact that it will time things up to 12 hours, a movement that's very hard to find or very expensive.
It's only downfall is the fact that you have to wind it. Forget to do this and you'll be late for everything, but you soon get used to it.
Omega's "Moon Watch" looks as good in the boardroom as it does on the tennis court, and it's a hell of a deal for a great timepiece.
A Magnificent Legacy from the Analog Era September 24, 2007

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.
90 seconds a day is 99.9% accurate December 4, 2006
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
For all the people complaining about their wristwatch being a minute and a half off in 24 hours: At 86,400 seconds in a day a watch that is 99.9% accurate will lose 86.4 seconds in a day. If you need timing accuracy greater than 99.9% you are either working for a scientific organization (and therefore using timing devices more accurate than any wristwatch made) or you are over-caffeinated and obsessive compulsive. These mechanical watches create an emotional response in some that a few thousands of a percent increase in accuracy cannot outweigh. Attempting to quantify the purchase of an Omega Speedmaster by attacking it's relative accuracy is like saying Porsches are a poor choice of car because they're less fuel efficient than a Honda Civic. If you don't marvel at the fine craftsmanship and tradition included in an item like the Omega Speedmaster that's fine. There are plenty of $25 wristwatches that keep good time.
 Always wanted one - Disappointed by what I got... July 28, 2006
15 out of 27 found this review helpful
Since I was a boy, I wanted one of these watches. When I spent 6 weeks in Switzerland in 1972, I hucked my Mom crazy to buy me this watch. Instead, she did get me an Omega deVille stainless design chronograph which reminded me of the Moon watch and cost only a fraction as much. This watch needed multiple repairs during the 1970's and cost more in repairs by several fold than the original purchase. I retired it and it sits in a jewelry box for the last 25 years, unworn.
Fast forward to the late 1990's with the stock market boom and I finally got what I had wanted for so long - this Moon watch! I wore it with enormous pride for about a year and a half until it broke, while winding it, and that lead to the revelation that repair was expensive and inconvenient. It had kept such poor time, losing two or more minutes a day, that I boxed it on my dresser and it sits there to this day unworn, broken. A deep disappointment...
Oddly, I spied a Wenger Swiss Army chonograph in stainless at a large retailer that had style and substance and was electronic to keep perfect time and cost $100!
I still wear that today after 6 years and one battery change.
Watch out what you wish for - it may be more desirable in the mind than on the wrist!
