On my wrist today ...
Omega Speedmaster Professional, Ref. 3572.5, the hesalite-sapphire sandwich version.
Still feels perfectly modern on the wrist and, like the Rolex Submariner, has aged wonderfully well. 42 x 13mm case that sits perfectly on the wrist. The way the lugs curve into the bracelet makes it look like they were meant to be together, even if these watches look cool on straps as well.
Deserves a place in every collection, whatever version.

There was a Speedy in my collection years ago, Andrew . . .
. . . which now resides in mrsnak's. One of the earliest Mk II models, from '69. Yes, I miss it . . . ...
Still beautiful after all these years
And I feel it will still be one of the best looking watches for a long time. I have sold quite a few watches, but the Speedy is the only one that I really regret. I had the 3750.50, and will very likely get another. It is also the only watch that I have s...

I decided that it was a boring design and I got rid of all. Then, I saw the First Omega in Space and it was my way back to Omega. I agree with all. Every collection should have at least one Speedmaster: After some time, one Speedy was not enough and then ...
everyone should own at least 1 speedy
I have 4 if I include my white dialled reduced automatic. possibly the best watch in the world because of its history, reliability, looks and many other things. but we mustn't forget the superb and understated Seamaster chrono with 321 calibre inside. ...
I walked away from ...

Still a Speedmaster ...
... but perhaps not the Speedmaster. But that may be a good thing. The moon Speedy is so ubiquitous that it's nice to see another iteration. Omega are trapped in their own fame with the Speedy Pro. Good to see your Speedy used and loved. Regards, Andrew
I love the Speedmaster
I also think is may the best watch ever due its history. Time ago I get rid of all my speedmasters but thanks to Nilo I bought the "First Omega in Space", I use it quite often and I never get tired of the beautiful design. As one fellow purist say: "an in...
