Speedmaster Moonwatch Master Chronometer by Omega Omega has launched standard-production Moonwatches with the brand’s Calibre 3861, which is Master Chronometer-certified, meaning the overall precision, performance and magnetic-resistance of each watch is improved. Like their predecessors, these Moonwatches are also certified for use in manned space flight, but they come with a narrower link bracelet that’s lighter and more comfortable. Other design elements, such as the asymmetrical case, step dial (where the minute markers are sunken lower than the main dial), double-bevel case back and iconic dots on the anodised aluminium bezel ring, take inspiration from the vintage Ref 105.012, which was worn by Apollo 11’s astronauts on the moon in 1969. Eight models are available, including versions in stainless steel and the brand’s trademarked Canopus or Sedna golds.
Head-To-Head: Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary Vs. Speedmaster Calibre 321 Comments Share When Omega introduced the Speedmaster 60th Anniversary in 2017, it was a big thing! It was a tribute to the original Speedmaster reference CK2915, but with the calibre 1861 movement. Then, in 2020, Omega introduced the 105.003 tribute with its calibre 321. How do these two watches compare? Is it worth going after a Speedmaster 60th anniversary, or do you want to save up a bit more for the Speedmaster Calibre 321? After publishing our video where I compare the Speedmaster Calibre 321 with the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Master Chronometer, I received some requests to have a look at the Speedmaster 60th anniversary as well. And then, last week in the #SpeedyTuesday Facebook group, someone (Markus) asked us to do a head-to-head between the Calibre 321 and the 60th Anniversary. So, why not? I am lucky enough to own both watches, so all it took was a proper photoshoot and some time to study and compare both watches side-by-side. Without further ado, let’s have a closer look.
