Okay, so let’s talk about this OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing watch. First off, I started digging around to see what was up with this watch, you know? Turns out, the Speedmaster Reduced was a thing, but they stopped making it back in ’09. But don’t worry, OMEGA still has smaller Speedmasters, like the Speedmaster Racing and the Speedmaster 38.
And oh boy, the vintage stuff! Those old Speedmasters? They’ve been blowing up in value lately. It’s crazy! The first one, this CK 2915, had this Omega Calibre 321 movement. Some guy named Albert Piguet over at Lemania made it in ’46. Back then, Lemania was part of the same company that owned OMEGA.
I was looking for a seller, you know, someone who seemed legit and not like they were trying to scam me with some fake junk. After searching for days, I finally found a seller who seemed legit. And man, this new Speedmaster? It’s got this hand-wound Omega Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 inside. Fancy, right? It’s got a CO-Axial and column-wheel, COSC certified, 26 jewels, the whole nine yards.
And get this, there’s a new thing called the “Spirate™ System.” It’s like, some super precise hairspring mechanism thing. Sounds cool, huh?
Key Features I Noticed
- Design: It has that classic racing style minute-track, and it’s all black. Looks pretty sleek, not gonna lie.
- Movement: That Calibre 3861 is no joke. Hand-wound, CO-Axial, the works.
- Price: I saw some places selling watches for crazy prices, but then there were these Japanese sites offering deals. You know, “compare the price,” “3,000 watches in stock,” “SNS info available,” all that jazz.
So yeah, I’m still figuring out all the details, but this Speedmaster Super Racing seems like a pretty solid watch. I’ll keep you guys updated as I learn more, and maybe even snag one for myself.
