Omega

The Omega Speedmaster is a design classic and should be viewed in the same way as the Leica Camera, the Eames Chair and the Corvette Stingray. All of these iconic designs are still in production today, being made in modern factories and subtly updated to ...  

Awesome first photo to kick start this well researched article. You are indeed a space buff. I read with great interest about your visit to Pad 34 at Cape Kennedy and the memorial to the crew of Apollo 1. NETFLIX has a documentary called "Mission Control:... 

I would recommend a visit to “The Cape” it’s a great and humbling experience. The new EW remains very faithful to the original barring in mind that as the bezel fades on the original it makes the watch look slightly smaller. This is an illusion as the wat... 

Best regards and stay safe

Enjoy your weekend.

. . . for the time and effort. We can tell how you're touched by possessing these objects of desire. Now, for a '70 Roadrunner to match my '70 Flightmaster. 😉

A Roadrunner is on my bucket list ;-)) ...  

Thank you for your kind words.

I’m pleased that you enjoyed it.

Thank you and I hope that you get the opportunity to enjoy one.

I hope that it inspires our community.

And it’s good for modern time piece collectors like me. Congrats on your new 321. I wonder which one you will be wearing more often?

I will need to share the love between them ;-))

You said it perfectly and I totally agree about not wanting to damage an original Ed White due to it's importance to me. I already damaged the bezel and bracelet of one of mine on a trail while mountain biking which is why I decided not to wear them as mu... 

and kind words. We need to protect the remaining original Ed White watches still out there. Best regards The Captain

I now have a new found admiration and appreciation for my recently purchased 321.

Is this your first Speedmaster ?

For now, I have the Snoopy, Apollo 11 50th in Moonshine gold and the just released 321.

Of course you have 🤔... That’s a great lineup.

Have you had this one for many years ?

Early on in my collecting I naturally became aware of the Speedmaster and bought this one from a fellow collector in Denmark, as the opportunity arose. At that time I did not know about DON, pre-moon ect.. Apart from the DON detail, I guess I luck out wit... 

and good to hear that it’s given you pleasure.

... and his comrades who lost their lives in such a terrible accident. It´s so moving to read the plaque at Pad 34 telling us not to remember the way they died buy the ideals they lived for. Though I would rather like to have less age than I presently hav...  

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject. I know that you have a lifetime of experience that we can all benefit from. A visit to Pad 34 is certainly a humbling experience and I would encourage others to make this trip when they can. The photos ... 

I had the nice opportunity to visit Cape Kennedy in October 2016 but regrettably it was just a couple of days after Hurricane Matthew had passed through the area so all visits to launch areas were closed. I only could visit the central part of the display... 

I look forward to your company on a visit to “The Cape”. We should also go to the Astronauts Hall of Fame, near by and a good restaurant that the Astronauts used regularly.
