9 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have owned mine since 1980, I have had it serviced and it still works and looks great. I have worn it every single day since buying it! In the time I have owned this watch I have seen people go through dozens of watches. The best part is, like all quality products, it can be serviced! This will be the last watch you will ever own!
The best watch for years and years May 10, 2005

I've owned this watch for over 2 years now and have worn it every single day since the day I bought it. I intend to keep it for years (probably for the rest of my life) as it remains the most swanky and stylish (elegant yet functional) watch I've ever owned (and I've owned and sold quite a few).
The Speedmaster has all the appeal and extreme accruracy of a Rolex, yet none of the gaudiness-it's understated, cool but not too cool. Looking at it evokes a sense of faith in exploration and the adrenaline rush of speed and the force of Gs or zero gravity. With it's black dial and white hands, and brushed silver bracelet and casing, the Speedmaster is one of the best executed designs to come out of the last 100 years and certainly one of the most classic timepieces ever.
There are other models that offer things since as a day/date, or a slightly smaller size, or a glass crystal instead of the sturdy Hesalite plastic one, but these are not the original "Moon Watch" and are not worth buying. If you are going to go Speedmaster, get the original. Technically this is a men's watch, but I've seen it worn by a woman with great success (the actor Daniel Day-Lewis's wife wears one).
It's Swiss made and Nasa spacewalk certified. This very watch model was worn on the Moon (on the outside of the space suit!) by Neil Armstrong in the Apollo missions back in the late 1960s. The build quality and styling has not changed much since then (it hasn't needed to). This is a manual watch, which means you have to wind it up. I like that, it becomes part of your daily routine like sleeping and eating. The back is engraved with a cool logo and a Nasa approval insignia. When your mate picks it up off the nightstand in the morning and reads what it says on the back, she will probably ask you about it.
This is the stuff of legends, and it's a pretty good watch too.
