Whilst its a well liked watch, I'm still hanging out for the ''Smiths'' chronograph, hopefully our host will eventually come good.
The TZUK Speedmaster Thread
The Omega Speedmaster is an iconic watch, and a forum favourite so how about a single thread dedicated specifically to photos of this watch, in all its variations?
The standard Speedy pro is also famously versatile, so examples of all the different straps TZUKers have tried would be great for inspiring others.
I'll start by sharing two of my Speedmasters made 50 years apart; the first a 1967 cal.321 145.012, sadly now gone to another TZUKer. The second is the current standard Speedy with hesalite and giant presentation case (ref. 311.30.42.30.01.005), from 2017.
Here's how the new Speedmaster Professional "moonwatch" is now presented as standard - if only all luxury watches came with such plush packaging and presentation;
So TZUK let's see yours!

That new box and assorted guff looks well over the top for a tool watch IMO.
I have always been a Speedy fan, if interested you can see my lot by clicking on the link in my sig.
Site's a bit old now so be prepared to crank the handle a bit!

A few different strap combinations with a Speedmaster Broad Arrow. I tend to wear this one far more than the Moonwatch Speedmaster.
Speedy Pro on a strap from Heuerville which I prefer during the warmer months.
The Mark IV has gone but the others are still there waiting for the Speedie Tuesday to arrive. After that, I'm going for a Soyuz meteorite dial.

Currently playing with the Gen 1 X33
Just put a new strap on the Apollo XV that I had custom made by Steveo Straps. Thought I'd share!
All nice ,but for me its got to be a stepped dial all day long...
Love the Speedmaster, they all look great.

3 for the price of one:

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is this in the box set?
This gets worn quite often:

Oooh imagine going into an old watch safe and finding that!
By the way, what are the (?aftermarket/OEM) bracelet options for the Speedmaster?
I much preferred the bracelet on my '67 one compared to the '17 one, which feels too substantial for the head, if that makes sense?!
I am more 1035 ,love mine
Are there any well recognised, modern aftermarket bracelets in the vintage style that can be put on the Speedy?
I don't mind modern build qualities, it's the modern "maxi bracelet" style I don't like.
Something I didn't spot on mine until yesterday was the etched omega symbol on the hesalite, right in the centre...

Congrats on your Tintin! One of my favourite Speedies! Tried several straps on it:
Top is a Hirsch Grand Duke, bottom is the OEM rally strap on Omega deployant.
Enjoy!

On a plain brown leather, not an expensive strap and didn't think I'd bond with it. But now love it as it gives the watch a military look whilst saving the Bracelet further wear.

Can I ask what strap is that on your MKII it looks the business? Also general question does anyone know a supplier of notched straps? what I mean is an end piece of the leather that fits between the lugs with the rest fitting flush to the lugs. A bit like an integral bracelet but in leather. Reason to ask is that I reckon it look brilliant on a MKII
Di Modell Rallye with orange stitch, it's a nice combination. I rather like that image as it shows Speedmasters on bracelet, leather, kevlar and velcro.
I really need a Speedy in my life lol, both of my local Omega AD's are out of stock, one actually has a waiting list but they both have my number and know i want one, so fingers crossed!
