The Omega Speedmaster is my favorite watch model. I love the design, history, and variation. The Speedy collection has now grown beyond a single case!

From left to right, top to bottom:

  • X-33 Marstimer (quartz)
  • Grey Side of the Moon meteorite dial
  • Racing dial in red
  • Heritage ‘57 in black/leather band
  • Heritage ‘57 in burgundy/bracelet
  • Moonphase in blue
  • Speedy Pro Apollo XVII Last Man on the Moon on red strap (early 2000s)
  • Speedy Pro series with display case back, copper movement decoration (mid 1980s)
  • Speedy Pro 145.022 with 321 movement (late 1960s) on leather strap
  • Speedy Pro with display case back (mid 1990s)
  • Speedy Pro w/Mitsukoshi dial & hands
  • Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8
  • Ultraman edition
  • Speedy Pro Canopus
  • Apollo XIII 50th Snoopy
  • Hodinkee 10th anniversary edition

New Super Racing on order. Ironically one of the obvious models not here is a current series 3861 Speedy Pro, partly because I can’t decide which version to get.

Speedy lovers, what variants are your favorite?

Fantastic. Of the new version, I was rummaging for a long while which one to get. I have the SS 3861 and I spend lots of time during the day looking at it not even remembering what’s the time after I check it out.

Question. Would you free up a couple of them or something to get a full whack gold speedy? I guess less reasons/heritage to it but boy the green dial one is just beautiful

(Reference hand watch clearly not mine)
