3:17 "For the first time in 1986 Aldrin, Collins and Armstrong were the first humans on their Apollo 8 mission..."
Apollo 8 mission (orbiting the Moon) happened in 1968 and featured three other astronauts: Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders.
Apollo 11 (the Moon landing) happened 7 months later.
EDIT: 7 months, not 3 years, my math is not at its best on Saturday. Thanks @Gary Loeb for pointing out.
I played back that part like 3 times to make sure I heard it right
@tryura: 3 missions later, in 1969
😂
86?????????????????????????????
@@commentjedi Excellent point.... and not aboard the space shuttle. ( Poor man's laughing emoji here. :-) .
tryura thanks for spotting what seems to be a mistake. But 1 it can happen to anyone, 2 the lady is I guess german where tenth and units are inverted. Sixty eight in german is to be said eight and sixty ;)
Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well! It does feel a bit strange to talk about watches now that there is so much going on right now that is way more important. But I have to say that especially now, its nice to take my mind off of things every now and then throughout the day and what better way to do so than talking about the things we love :-). Please stay healthy, safe and most importantly at home if possible ;-) ❤️
Don’t underrate the importance of having provided us with a diversion from all the “gloom and doom” in the media. With the fabulous macro shots of an interesting watch, and your beautiful smile, you have made the day better for all of us ! 😃👍
Thought about getting this one but went with the blue side of the moon aventurine dial. Absolutely love it :). Yes Omega has alot of special editions but I like having a little variety to choose from. After all it is the spice of life
Your videos are really a pleasure to watch. Always witty, professional and fun :D
Thanks for the escape back to normality. Much appreciated. Much love to you all from England. Stay safe 👍🏻
@Coming Soon All the best. Be sure to catch 'The Timeless Watch Channel' being shot from Italy.
This is definitely the ultimate speedmaster love the way it looks and happy to say I'm a proud owner.
Same!
I can agree. I picked one up only last weekend and love it. Although personally I would have loved they'd switches the arm colours. Yellow for the time and white for the third. I sometimes need a second look to read the time. Also it seems strange that the card I got with it has a serial number from 2000 on (bought it new from an Omega shop though). Do you know where you can find the serial on the watch itself ? Can't find it anywhere (and forgot to ask)
I cant wait to collect mine tomorrow! Amazing watch!
I have one by myself , I think it's funny that owners still enjoy watching these videos ... Haha
I don't know why I watch that stuff but it makes me appreciate my watch more
Great choice, congratulations 👍
I’ve been waiting for a review of this watch for ages. Love your message at the beginning ❤️ Stay safe 😊
Thanks for providing the content we love during these times. Quality as always.
Jenni thank you for these videos. I appreciate your hard work and upbeat delivery. You are a breath of fresh air.
Thank you for this gorgeous content. We need it now, more than ever!
I would like to echo your comments - stay healthy and stay at home whenever possible. Thanks to all CZcams content makers for putting out the content to keep us all entertained 🙏🙏👏👏
Thank you so much for reviewing this watch 😊I have had an interest in this Apollo 8 since Omega released it and your brilliant review has now placed it at the top of my grail watch list...for me it is the perfect Speedmaster - Thank you 😊👍
Another video well done.. Thank you for giving us something interesting to watch to help pass the time of boredom..stay safe and healthy and keep the vids coming 😊
god bless you jenni stay safe . keep up the good work . you bring joy . !!!! THANKS FOR POST.
I like this omega, was looking for some reviews about it and saw you. Although I do not understand English at all, I looked at the review with great pleasure, because you are the very charm. Thank you for the nice picture. :)
I have been pricing this watch for a while and intend to get one making your video so timely. And for all he same reasons you describe! Great video, stay safe and be well!
Great video Jenni. I just bought one of these 3 weeks ago and I love it. I had an ultraman for a few days but I filpped it for the apollo 8 because it was so similar to the standard speedmaster. I'm glad to see more great content made on the apollo 8. Watchfinder also made a great video about it.
Hi Jenni, congratulations. Great to see this fabulous watch in such a bright and detailed setting. Go head and show us more of these iconic watches....
Great presentation of a watch that slipped under my radar. Now I want one! Thanks
Great review Jenni. This is a lovely watch I’ve tried one on. The details are amazing I hope to own one in the future.
thanks to bring us that such piece of art !
One of the most exciting Speedy. Simply gorgeous
I agree with you on this. Great video btw especially at this difficult time. Much needed distraction from all the doom and gloom. Best wishes to you and your partner. Keep well. 💐
Jenni...truly enjoy your videos..and the education on the jLc...
It's great speedmaster.
I got one too.
Thank you Jenni for great review.
Great Video with fantastic details pictures from a great watch. More from these 👍👍👍
Another excellent show! Educational and entertaining. I agree that this ‘special’ does stand apart from the sea of speedmasters.
Hi Jenni, Excellent review and you do a great job of highlighting the features of this beautiful watch. I love the dial with its black and yellow color way. I’m drawn to the uniquely elevated indices and yellow hands which accent the handsome black face of the Speedmaster Apollo 8. Not sure I can pull the trigger on this timepiece at the moment due to the uncertainty of the market, yet I’m thankful for you bringing this watch to my attention. Great job!
Another great video, Jenni!! I recently purchased my first Speedmaster and had difficulty choosing between this model (Apollo 8 DSotM) and the one I actually purchased (Blue Side of the Moon Aventurine dial, moonphase). The Aventurine dial and Master Chronometer movement sealed the deal for me.
A few data points:
1) the ceramic case is actually pressure forged in a plasma oven at between 14,000 C and 20,000 C for over three hours. The case is then polished with a diamond sanding belt.
2) Omega ceramic is significantly harder than any other material yet used in a common watch brand, and is not the same any ceramic offered from other Watch companies.
3) Rolex’s 904L steel is only marginally harder than the 316L surgical grade stainless steel like Omega (and many others use). However, 904L can’t be heat treated or cryogenically treated. 316L can have either or both techniques applied. After proper treatment, 316L is stronger and less brittle than 904L. Both are good options, but neither is clearly superior.
3b) The susceptibility of the Omega clasp and bracelets to wear is due to their choice to use brushing over polishing (which is more resilient), and not due to any difference in metallurgy.
Lastly, I don’t see the variety that Omega offers for the Speedmaster as a downside. I just don’t. My pleasure or pride of ownership of a Watch has literally nothing to do with how many other watches of that type were made, or if myriad versions of mine exist. There’s no image to be diluted. That’s a fallacious, abstract concept invented by a few within the greater watch community. The same few who happen to benefit financially from the perceived scarcity or preciousness of a specific subset of watches. You’re one of the best Watch channels on the internet. Keep up the great work, Jenni!
One of the most sensible comments I've read in a while.
Agreed on all points and If you're a secure individual, it's not about what others think, but what you love.
I am a convert to omega Abt 1 year ago and am loving them!
I came from the "other" brand *wink* still have them but I prefer to wear omega's now 😊
I’m excited by my Speedmaster IV because it’s old, from the 70-ies, and has been mine all the time. That makes it unique.
That makes it really special. Just getting my MOTM tomorrow for my 40th Anniversary from my dear wife. We are children of the 50s and it is impossible to overstate the power of the quest for the moon landing set in motion by JFK on our educations and focus on the future. In a thousand years when all those in the news today will be long forgotten children will know the names of the first to walk on the moon. Keep that wonderful watch in the family for your decendants.
I instantly fell in love with this watch. The face, the band. It broke my heart when you said the price.
while sitting home and watching watch videos I found this channel. Jenni you are doing an awesome job. What a great channel. I currently own a Omega wave seamaster and looking for something different and special without A Lang/sohne pricing :P
Great video! A stunner of a watch. I guess I gotta start saving up 😊
Looks great in yellow and black and the added black to the moment is real nice too.
Another informative video presented with natural charm... keep safe!
Great watch! My Dark Side of the Moon is one of the used piece in my collection mainly because I don't need to worry about scratching the piece👏
why is that please, i am looking to get it....
Hi Jenni, love your channel. Stay safe!
Great review, I like this watch, loving the channel 👍😎😀
It's good to see a lady giving watch reviews. I enjoy your videos.....thanks.
In the world nowadays in so much uncertainty, it is extremely refreshing to see your videos. I know that we all are stressed but thank you for taking the time to give us 10 minutes of ecstasy amidst all the chaos. I thoroughly enjoyed all of your reviews and I think you do an outstanding job keep up the great work. I can’t wait to see your next series of videos thank you.
Looks amazing :))) Thanks for the review :P
Agreed! Its been my favourite ever since I saw it!
Thank you for another great video... to all youtuber and all the followers stay safe and be healthy...
Thanks for another great video Jenni. This is definitely in my top 5 Speedmasters but top of the list wound is still the Speedy Tuesday panda.
Brilliant as always, thank you
Beautiful watch, elegant, with a darker tone, truly a jewel
Wooo, a genuine female watch enthusiast! No cheap provocative cleavage shots & dressing, No over the top makeup dripping down the face, No fake drama & flirty tone, You deserve a subscribe. Keep up the good work, channel has class & decent audience.
I had to watch this video again. The pure black of the watch with the yellow contrast is just stunning. I missed out on the PVD black Tudor Black Bay, but this Omega is just nicer to look at, examine in detail and has an open, clear back. God I love this watch. I could even live with the bigger size since 40 mil is my best fit.
Greeting from sunny Dubai.
Got mine about a month ago and requested the folding clasp and associated strap. I have tried many other speedies but this one is really very different. The luminous material in the bezel makes the watch standout even more in the dark
None of the above is essential to tell the time of course but as a collector I must thank you for guiding us all.
Omega should say thank you to you for an amazing review video
Thank God I saw your video before buying a Speedy...
I ordered Apollo 8!!!
Totally agree, great video!!!
Great vid, need this, like you said take my mind away just for a while !
Hi Jenni. Thank you. Please stay healthy and stay safe. Another great video. I have the Omega Speedmaster Professional 3572.50. Only produced for a few years but has Hesalite front and Sapphire display back. I love this watch and gets the most wrist time. I agree with the wrist band being a scratch magnet and too many models being offered. I think the latter de-values the Speedmaster. It really is a shame. I think you have sold me on this particular model. It really is stunning and different. Will definitely put it on the list. Thanks again and stay safe.
A very cool dial, not to mention a ceramic case and buckle! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for another great video. As a service provider in this time of turmoil, I face risk on a daily basis. It's nice to have a distraction. Cheers!
My dad lent me his Omega Speedmaster Professional many years ago, being a high school student, I was young and stupid and did not know the true values of it, and I lost it. It was my biggest regret ever, especially now that I started into watches and began to understand the Omega Speedmaster heritage, and the beautiful design. It is a truly beautiful chronograph ever.
Holy shit... that's depressing. Sorry man.
@@Chris-es3wf Don't be too hard on yourself, I remember losing things as a kid and being heartbroken. My son recently lost his iPhone a couple months after receiving it for his birthday. I tried not to be too hard on him, but he went without for a couple weeks. I recently gave him his first luxury watch to mark and remember the time of COVID-19, but it was a Hamilton not an Omega just yet until he learns to take care of valuable things.
Also my favorite speedmaster and very very nice review.
I have the original Dark Side of The Moon with the twin barrel 9300 movement. I'm tempted by this, but it's not different enough for me to add this to my collection. I have tried it on a couple of times at my local AD and there's no denying that it's a stunning watch. If I didn't have the original Dark Side I would definitely go for this.
Great review beautiful watch. Like the yellow against black trim like the yellow markings on my Breitling Superocean Abyss. The Breitling has auto winding and is rated at 500m water resistance. So I'll just stay with that. Thanks for the great reviews!
Hello Jenni, I think this is the best speed master totally agree with you on this one, however the speedy CK2998 is also a kickass piece. I don’t own one yet but I will one day.
It will just comedown to which of the 2 I’ll buy 🤓
Many thanks for another outstanding video, I do have one of these in my collection and no video does it justice, These are now not so easy to get a hold off but i am lucky enough to have a fantastic OMEGA AD who i have now bought 6 watches from and they surprised me with the "we have something for you to look at " call, I was traveling and they kept it for 3 weeks until i returned. Anyway enough of that Story....... Simply love listening to your reviews
Great looking watch jenni, it would be great to own it. Keep up the good videos.
Got mine yesterday 🤩
Great video, thanks Jenni. Personally I’m fond of the Speedy Mark II. That Super 70s Styling!
Learn something new on this....thank you 🌙
The best speedmaster in my opinion, great video 👍🏼
Love you! Please keep it up
Just found your channel and it’s already one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!
So many errors ....she’s useless
Fantastic macros! Especially that lume shot
This is the only black ceramic watch I would ever consider buying. Executed so well, the texture and depth of the dial is beautiful.
I really dont agree with everyone saying that there 'are too many moon watches'. Ultimately, people still buy them all, they have a classic design which is timeless. It allows big money spenders to have huge collection and allows the less fortunate to own maybe one or two*.
*As most 'Special Editions' dont hold their value.
Overall, I'm biased and think that if they had 150m water-resistance, they would be perfect.
Love the channel.
they say if you take every single edition of the speed master and put them in a line they will reach the moon.
Yes. And I am still saving for mine.
I agree that this is the ultimate speedy. It has a more fun version of the moon watch calibre, plus all of DSOTM collection’s advantages (high tech ceramic, light weight), but without the coaxial movements’ thickness.
Absolutely beautiful!
You bought me into trying to buy this watch. Awwww. Now I can't get out of it!
Hi Jenni, love your video on the Apollo 8 DSOM as I have one myself and yes it is one of the best looking chronograph watch there is currently in the market. Even though I have a small wrist size the watch sit nicely and due to the ceramic material used for the casing, it is very light. BTW the DSOM Apollo 8 is my 2nd Speedmaster and the 1st is the speedy Tuesday Ultraman, will be adding another Speedmaster to my collection which is the stainless steel 321 movement lol, can't wait to get my hands on it.
Which would you get if you hadn't bought either before. I'm considering the exact same two. Spooky :)
Wow.. that's one special watch. I'm not a fan of black watches but this one may have changed my mind. I don't know if I want to thank you for the review because now I have something I need to spend $10k on!
My second nice watch and what cemented me as a watch addict was my broad arrow moon phase speedmaster. I absolutely wore the heck out of it and love it to this day even if it doesn't get as much wrist time. I have size 8 hands and 7.5" wrist, but I never found it difficult to wind it. Having a watch you have to wind connects you to it in a way I can't describe. I looked forward to my winding routine. It was the original fidget spinner.
Thanks for the review and stay safe!
Thanks for these great videos. Had a couple questions that would be great to see in a video soon: 1) Do you have any watches you would recommend that are in the below $1000 price range? 2) Any specific advice for grey market watch shopping? Thanks again for the content!
I may be biased, but I agree 100%. I own only two Speedmasters. At 1967 321 speedy on a crock band with deployant clasp, and this wonderfully designed Apollo 8 Dark Side. The perfect pair.
I think it gets beat by the Grey Side of the Moon, but is a close second. Amazing watch.
i tried this a week ago in chicago omega boutique. it is lightweight, stunning and you can get a smaller strap if you have a small wrist like me.
You've helped Omega to come up with an excuse for the 50m WR lol brilliant. Stay safe and healthy in Germany 🤞
I agree with you that this one stands out from the sea of Speedmaster special editions. I like the look of it. I have a Speedmaster Racing myself - unfortunately can't justify swapping out for the Apollo 8 tho......
I think the ultimate Speedmaster never exist because everyone will have their own liking. For me, I currently owned 8 different Speedmaster and I can’t tell you which is my favourite one. Great video, stay safe and stay healthy.
And there lies the beauty of choices. 👍
Beautiful watch!!
beautiful piece
I wish they had kept the 42mm sizing of the Professional Speedy.
And also wish they'd bring back smaller form factors in some way more akin to Speedmaster Reduced :/
Hooray for the use of ceramic. Makes the watch an easier buy 2nd hand.
Hese Monni they have the current Speedmaster 38mm in black that is a modern reduced with a much better movement.
Look at the 'Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space' as it's under 40mm.
I love my Apollo 8!!
Lovely review. I've never been drawn to watches with skeletonized dials. I wish they would have kept the interesting moon surface dial intact.
Great video.... now I have another omega on my list 😂, think my favourites are still the Black Dark Side of The Moon Co Axial & the ultraman. Stay safe 👍
Still a great video. Stay healthy, stay safe, all of the best to you and yours.
Great watch, but my favorite is the gray side of the moon🌒
I agree. The Grey Side is much more elegant and the ultimate tool/dress watch.
grey is so beautiful !
i have the meteorite grey side of the moon!!! love it!
I'm tempted for the blue side of the moon aventurine dial
Agreed, except that it has a very thick movement making it not very wrist friendly.
'...you will be able to read the scale even when you and your space shuttle desappear behind the Dark side of the Moon.' Love this!!
68 instead of 86, excellent review!
I do agree that it’s worth the be called the ultimate speedmaster but the original one is the all time speedmaster. Good job on your video, i am really looking forward for new videos 🙂
Hi Jenni, that’s another lovely review. Could you also please review the original Dark side of the moon in black? Thanks
Beautiful watch
Your videos are SO cool.
Love this version
A stunning looking watch... I’d have one if I had the money 👍🏻
What a beautiful watch.
Danke. Top Info.
Wow! I want one!!
