Ordered this watch about a month ago. It is my second Omega (also have a 13 year old Seamaster - working great) and it has not disappointed me to date. Great quality and keeps perfect time. The chronograph works excellently; you can actually read the time down to 0.1825 seconds, amazingly.
Why the Omega instead of the R!&%x? Omega is the oldest watch maker in the industry (comparitively). The crystal is absolutely indestructable (ok, so maybe a tie here). The watch band is far better quality - just go pick up brand "R" and you'll see. There are many many knock-offs of brand "R" you can pick up anywhere, even the local discount chain (granted they aren't branded as such, but they sure look the same from a distance). Omega doesn't have quite the following so when you see one, pretty good chance it is real. |
Excellent update to the classic moonwatch

The Omega Speedmaster is one of the most iconic watches in history, since it was chosen by NASA (over Rolexes, Breitlings, etc.) as the most space-worthy watch available, and was the first watch worn on the moon. Of course, that was 50 years ago, and the fact that the Speedmaster still looks cool is an incredible testament to what a timeless design it has. Still though, the original Speedmaster ("Professional" it was called) does look a bit dated. This watch solves that problem: it has a curved sapphire crystal (shinier and harder than the shatterproof plastic they used in space), and beautiful polished markers, emblems, and subdials. The pictures don't do it justice, as this watch looks thoroughly modern and beautiful, while still retaining the timeless Speedmaster style. Do yourself a favor and go look at it in person at a jeweler. I also appreciate that it is 40mm. That is still large, but not stupid-huge like many other watches these days. The huge watch fad will pass soon, so you might regret buying something too large.
Omega started with the robust valjoux 7750 movement, then modified it meet full COSC Chronometer accuracy standards for this watch, so it is also even more accurate than the original Moonwatch. The Speedmaster Date 3210.50 just has no downsides. Wear it with a business suit, or with shorts and a t-shirt. Buy this watch, and enjoy it for another 50 years --when it will still probably look great.
Note: Several "bad reviews" on here are not actually reviewing this watch, they are reviewing Amazon and its partner resellers. It's important to understand that internet resellers (including Amazon) are considered "grey market" (not quite black market, not quite legit). While you can be up to about 98% sure watches online are authentic, there are no guarantees from Omega either way. They won't service it for you, they won't warranty it, and they won't confirm it's authentic. Therefore, you are at the mercy of whomever you buy it from. It's a tradeoff buying online. |
Wonderful Omega quality.

| Excellent watch with wonderful and proven movement and Omega grade build. Being built off of the time tested ETA/Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement this watch sets an example of what the Swiss watch industry stands for. Classic looks, and most importantly quality mechanics. The 7750 movement is a wonderful no frills durable and reliable movement and has had all of its important components upgraded and replaced by Omega to bring it up to chronometer specifications. This watch is accurate well within +/- 2 seconds a day and and as far as that goes can go the whole month without resetting until the date must be changed. All in all excellent feel fit and finish. Just what you would expect from a quality watch manufacturer like Omega. |
A more accurate review of the watch itself..

The problem with half the reviews so far is that they're complaints about the vendor, not the watch itself. There are other ways to review the vendors/dealers that Amazon uses, not here on the product review. So far, I love this watch, love the way it looks & the compliments I get from it. It's a heavy watch, but that's not unique to Omega, it's just all the internal components of an automatic watch. The diameter is perfect for me, not too oversized like some watches these days. It's got the perfect amount of info needed without looking too cluttered ( the second hand, date, chronograph.)
- Looks: This is a beautiful watch when the light catches the dials and it contrasts against the black face.
- Accuracy: No, it's not going to be as accurate as a quartz, but only requires adjustment every 3-4 weeks (and it's only off by 15-20 seconds)
- Size/comfort: It looks & feels great now, but the weight took some getting use to. If you're really tall or have big wrists, then the 40mm face may feel too small. I had a watch shop remove the links for me, and yes there are smaller adjustments on the clasp. I don't feel the logo to b a bother, and I do agree that resurfacing the back of the watch is an idiotic move. |
