    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?

      Possibly wait till January to see if a new 3861 model drops for 2024. I would say likely the sapphire display caseback 3861 though since you’ve got a non-display version on the snoopy. Possibly a Sedna gold speedy on black rubber strap would be my personal next to this collection.

      Very niche but the collection within the collection would be a display caseback for each movement variation, 321a/b, 861/3, 1861/3/6, 3861, etc.

      Jealous of the Ultraman you got. Have a growing speedy collection myself as well.

      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)

      Thought I recognized the Ultraman in there - that’s my dream watch. You know how to make a collection!
