Thank you Tnx Man. Hmm, the new Speedy? I don't think so, I can't really justify the price bump for a basically the same watch. I know, the movement and the new bracelet are top notch, but I kinda like old school 1861. I may get the new bracelet though.... Thank you. Enjoy your Speedy Thank you man. 90% of the time I use Cabon 750D and Canon 60mm f:/2.8 macro lens. Nothing fancy really. It's all about the angles and light

Just when I'm thinking of potentially getting rid of my Speedy, these (fantastic) photos change my mind immediately

Great photos. Your passion shines through ! I’d love to replace my sapphire sandwhich.
@nono
amazing pics of your speedie
Thanks for sharing these beauties!!
Does Omega offer a full range of Nato straps with the Speedmaster like it does for the Seamaster?
Amazon thats great.
I think maybe its only dark side of the moon which has the larger lug size?
The Speedy seems to go with anything!

I know you wanted to see it wet, so it goes! :)
BTW, seeing Speedy in EVA is cool and all, but have you seen one dropping through a wormhole? Inception inspired shot (no photoshop, free style light painting here!)
The best collections of Speedmaster pics I’ve seen. Well done Nono 👏🏼
Thank you Sir!!
SOUND ON
This is what the Speedy would see in the blackness of Space near the Black Hole Event Horizon where no light is visible around you.

Fantastic pictures sir, and demonstrating just what a versatile watch the Speedy is - a true classic

Thanx mate
Actually I love the new 3861 Speedy bracelet so much that I almost ordered brand new one from AD for my 1861. I always find the 20mm Speedy bracelet too bulky.
But when I saw that Uncle Seiko made his own version of 1479 I just had yo try it. If we ignore the clasp difference, the visual and vintage feeling is really on point. Links are full metal, solid endlinks and the finish is fantastic. The best part is, watch is so much lighter on the wrist. I don't think I'll switch to OEM bracelet soon

Thanx vRSG60
It usually lives on NATO straps, even more on weekends when you get wasted in alcohol and need something secure
Something like this
Speedy in Zero-G
Well, at least it's waterproof
Love the pics, the watch always looks amazing even with my OCD about seeing people wearing NATO straps “incorrectly” :-)
Great shots of a great watch, but for me it looks best on the bracelet .. none of the others work.
/vince ..
Stunning shots, I've got a Speedy 'reduced' from this place and I adore it. I think upgrading to the actual Pro is a longer term goal of mine. Ever since I got into watches, the Speedmaster has been the epitome of watches for me, a properly 'timeless' design, and the history too...
Only kidding there is no incorrect way, but I find this way much nicer to wear and makes the watch look neater on the wrist.
I put the watch mid way on the strap and double back the short tail keeper to the buckle. The extra now sits across the bottom of the wrist rather than the side.
You’ll have much less tail to tuck in or out and makes the watch less bulky with long sleeves.
Hope it helps give you more look options.

Speedmaster owners: "Speedy is the best but it's not waterproof!".
Me: YOLO
Incredible pictures and now I am looking at speedy pros.
First of the Space inspired Speedy shots, in colors of the Crab Nebula, also known as the M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) - a Supernova remnant in the constelation of Taurus. Size? About 11 Light Years and it's expanding at a rate of 1.500 km per second!
In center lies a pretty small Neutron star (only 30km across) but spinning about 30.2 times per second!
his Speedy Space shot is inspired by the Blue Ring Nebula
Nebula was created by the merger of two stars, and that we are seeing the system a few thousand years after the merger, when evidence of the collision is still apparent
The blue light in the image shows the debris cloud created by the merger. As the hot cloud of material expanded into space and cooled down, it formed hydrogen molecules that collided with the interstellar medium (the particles occupying the space between stars). These collisions caused the hydrogen molecules to radiate far-ultraviolet light, yellow indicates near-ultraviolet light, which is emitted by the star at the center of the nebula and many surrounding stars.
thanks for these great pictures. speedmaster ubiquity sometimes makes us (me) forget it really is one of the best looking watches ever made.
You're welcome Robinsongreen68
One of the most beautiful neighbors just located in fairly close 6000 light years from us is the Lagoon Nebula (also known as Messier 8, M8, NGC 6523). A giant intersteller cloud in the constellation Sagittarius.
So this "giant" is not such a big giant at all, only 33 light years across, but it has the most spectacular colors, which were captured in the background, case and glass of the Speedy Pro
Great shots.
Best looking watch of all time?
I think so. Absolutely perfect. Pure class.
Must try mine on a NASA velco, how much are they?
Need one
