Omega Speedmaster Professional Owner Review : Robust, enthralling and precise

A pre-owned Speedmaster acquired after a long search. For me, it represents the best of both worlds: a sapphire crystal dial revealing the bronze-toned caliber 863, and the warmth of hesalite for the classic upper dial. Dating from 1995, it is remarkably precise and boasts a natural patina that's pleasing to the eye. A tool watch, I wear it regularly without treating it like jewelry or a collector's item. Its 1479 bracelet is easily adjustable and remains comfortable even after several hours on the wrist. A model I enjoy wearing with a t-shirt, an Oxford shirt, or a black wool sweater. Lastly, its magnificent caliber 863 is a good introduction when I talk about my passion for watches. This transparency allows me to explain how a manual mechanism works. Eyes light up at the complexity of the workings, and questions are sure to arise. Perfect for satisfying curiosity and going beyond price or brand.
