3… 2… 1… Liftoff!

Take a poll amongst wristwatch collectors, and we'd bet the consensus would be that there might be nothing more important or iconic in a watch collection than an Omega Speedmaster. 

Sure, chronographs such as the Rolex Daytona or the Heuer Carrera are classics - icons even, but neither can match the stature of the Speedy with regards to importance in history. In fact, arguably no watch can.

But maybe you’ve decided that the Moonwatch isn’t for you. 

And we get it. As incredible as that lauded timepiece is, it’s also ubiquitous — everyone and their mother owns one at this point. But did you know that there are plenty of other Speedies out there, equally as interesting and slightly left-of-center?

Take this Automatic winding Speedmaster with a date complication for example:

It features a 40mm stainless steel ‘twisted lug’ case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, barrel pushers, a black tachymeter bezel insert, and a lovely, luminous sunburst grey dial with applied indices and black sub registers with a matching handset.

Powered by Omega's Calibre 3304 automatic winding movement, this piece comes fitted to a matching stainless steel bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp.

Beautifully sized for a wide range of wrists, fun, and built like a tank, this is the perfect Speedy for those looking for an alternative to the Moonwatch- be it for its smaller size, or the automatic winding movement, this piece makes for a fantastic alternative its larger sibling.
