Omega Speedmaster: Collector Discussion

m2 · 2026-02-23T23:31:39Z

If you could only pick one Omega Speedmaster, which would it be? Join the debate on vintage vs. modern, Apollo reissues, and Snoopy editions.

In a delightful thought experiment, m2 challenges the WatchProSite community to select their ultimate Omega Speedmaster. This imaginative scenario, born from a whimsical encounter with a genie after a spirited gathering, prompts collectors to distill their passion into a singular, definitive choice. m2's own preference for the 2019 Apollo reissue sets the stage for a compelling discussion on personal favorites and horological ideals.

You are exiting a WatchProSite get together and stumble out of the bar, 38 drinks deep.

You fall into a ditch in your drunken stupor and discover a genie lamp.

"Wow is this a genie lamp?"

You rub it - and yes, indeed it is a genie's lamp.

But you're only allowed to do one thing...and that's pick ONE speedmaster.

Which one do you pick?

For me probably the 2019 apollo reissue.

Key Points from the Discussion

Despite the allure of modern gold Speedmasters, a vintage 321-powered model from the 1960s, rich with patina and history, remains a highly desirable choice for its classic appeal.
The second-generation Snoopy Speedmaster, released shortly after a collector joined the community, represents a coveted piece that was initially out of reach but continues to be a grail watch.
The 2019 Apollo reissue is a strong contender for its aesthetic beauty and modern appeal, making it an unquestionable choice for some enthusiasts.

I would probably go for the 2nd gen Snoopy 🐶 Came out just after I started hanging out here and was too insignificant a potential customer for Omega to care. Would still like one someday 🤞🏻

„Ed White“ - I’m appallingly sober even when drunk. Cheers Marc
