Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 "Ed White" quick review

Dear All,

Just sharing my quick, as usual mostly visual, review of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 "Ed White". I have several Speedmasters and I have to say that this one is the one of the most versatile and

comfortable Speedmaster I ever owned.

The bracelet is very comfortable and seems to be very similar (if not almost identical) to the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary one.

At 39.7 mm vs 42 of the regular speedmaster and without the crown guards this Speedmasters wears very well, similar in size for the First Omega in Space model

The indexes have a very light yellow hue, very nice indeed

the dial features the raised historic omega logo

The movement is obviously the star of this watch: the finish in Sedna gold is superbly done.

Is it worth the extra price vs. the regular speedmaster professional saphire ? In my opinion yes because of the movement and the fact that is assembled by a single watchmaker which obviously is an extra cost.

This one is now difficult (but not impossible to get). Definitely worth the wait!

Let me know what you think about Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 321.

And thanks for sharing the amazing photos. I've been #1 on the waitlist at the Omega boutique in my city, ever since the watch was first announced. I even placed a 50% deposit for a year, before it being returned as they were "not sure when, if ever they ...

thank you Hussam! I will certainly post more photos in the future..

I head that is hard to get but I believe that is well worth the wait. I had part luck part having bought many Omegas throughout the year and I can say that is really special yet under the radar as 99.9% of the people won't tell the difference

That makes it they perfect stealth bomber, like the original MIHH watch for example.

Omega at its best!

Thank you for sharing the photos with us and well done on acquiring this sublime piece. A much better size than the normal Speedmaster and yes, the movement is quite something.

Congratulations! Great to see it in the wild. I like the size a lot, and if I ever get one(I’m on the waiting list🤣), it will definitely be a keeper! Nice photos as well.🥂

thank you, always nice to read from you :)

By: christianch : November 20th, 2021-21:59

will try to post more once I wear it a bit. First reviews are always difficult, honeymoon phase

True, very true!

By: amanico : November 20th, 2021-22:06

Congrats Christian…this one will never get old. It’s easy to forget how good it looks and every time I wear it, the feeling is always fresh.

By: Clueless_Collector : November 21st, 2021-05:03

ahh I thought you got one too :)

By: christianch : November 21st, 2021-10:55

I wasn't sure if this was different enough but then I realised this is very stealth yet probably the best modern speedmaster (oh well also the Apollo 11 50th is gorgeous) but the movement here is really special. Also winding seeems way better without the ...

Wow! Congrats!

By: patrick_y : November 21st, 2021-05:13

I wasn't able to secure one of these unfortunately. But I'm so glad you did! Thanks for writing the review! I'll try to enjoy my "normal" Moonwatch! It's my first Omega!

every moonwatch is special :)

By: christianch : November 21st, 2021-10:56

this is just different and perhaps more suited as second (or third, 10th etc. ) speedmaster

Just starting the Speedmaster collection...

By: patrick_y : November 21st, 2021-19:42

I just acquired my first Speedmaster only recently. I haven't even actually worn the watch yet. Hoping I'll like it! Yours and Holdemchamp1225's influence are partly to blame for me adding yet another watch to the already extensive collection!

you will love it I am sure :) wear it soon

By: christianch : November 21st, 2021-22:18

so you can enjoy a very purist watch

Will do! Thanks!

By: patrick_y : November 23rd, 2021-19:01

Too many watches. So little time!

Congrats and a great review!

By: S F : November 21st, 2021-08:59

I had always wanted a speedy but was confused by so many iterations (old and new) so when the 321 came up, I just went for it . The bracelet is top notch and while the movement is not chronometer cert, I would still take this anytime! Enjoy!

great that you went for one. these are rare birds now

By: christianch : November 21st, 2021-10:57

bracelet is the best (I got used to the Apollo 11 50th that is very similar).

Paid for mine in full earlier this year . . .

By: Dr No : November 21st, 2021-17:43

. . . and still patiently waiting. ETA? 2022. Got my nephew on the LA boutique's list. ETA? 2026. 😖

I think it will come..is just a bit slow

By: christianch : November 21st, 2021-22:16

patience will make it even nicer when it arrives
