4.0 out of 5 stars Better than a moon watch, June 19, 2010

This review is from: Omega Men's 3211.30.00 Speedmaster Date Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I've had my 3211.30 for about 1 1/2 years now, and it is definitely a keeper. While shopping, when comparing to the similar Day+Date model (i.e. I purchased from a brick-and-mortar AD), I found the simpler 'Day' version to be clearly superior when it comes to readability. I wouldn't claim that it is the most readable watch in the world (not sure I would agree with the previous comment regarding the black+white Speedy Pro), but it is quite readable under almost all conditions. Off the top of my head, here are the defining characteristics of this watch:


1) The bracelet on this watch is the best I own, and in my opinion it competes well with any bracelet in the world regardless of price. Maybe not 'wins', but certainly 'competes very well'.

2) It keeps very good time (and is COSC certified). The last I checked, mine was about 2 seconds slow per day.

3) While understated in terms of size (40mm), this watch is somewhat shiny. In a good way (except for worrying about scratching all of the various polished bits), but definitely shiny. The dial and markers are mesmerizing under bright sunlight. Don't look down while walking outside; you're bound to be hit by a bus.

4) The Valjoux wobble. This watch has character coming out the wazoo. Bracelet, applied 5-minute markers, guilloche dial, ... and the characteristic 'wobble' effect of the rotor on the Valjoux 7750 movement/engine that powers this watch. That chunky little head sits at attention on your wrist at all times with great presence (similar to a Rolex Sea Dweller, but better), then very occasionally, the wobble will kick in and stop you in your tracks. "Hey, look at me. I'm still down here on your wrist." If all that 'wobble' terminology sounds like a secret code, then I apologize because "yes" it sort of is, you really have to feel it to fully appreciate it. It is kind of like trying to explain to someone what it feels like when a fish nibbles on your line. You just have to experience it. Get off your duff and get out to a knowledgeable Omega dealer and ask them to tell you about this watch .... If you're like me, you won't regret it.


Cheers,
Chris

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most striking mens Speedmasters ever, June 6, 2009

This review is from: Omega Men's 3211.30.00 Speedmaster Date Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch (Watch)

This is a beautiful Speedmaster which, although it lacks the day/month feature of stock# 3221.30.00, has a silver and not the white dial face of the day/month model. This makes it much easier to read as the white face is several shades darker than the silver and difficult to read in poor light. The day/month model would be a feature I personally have no need or desire for; the date alone is sufficient and very easy to read. This watch is quite striking. Of course it keeps perfect time and is one tough, durable, and gorgeous timepiece, so I highly recommend it. Compare 3221.30.00 to this one, 3211.30.00, and you will see the difference immediately. The easier to read, the better. This version is easier to read (and better looking). If readability is critical to you nothing I've ever seen or owned can beat it. That includes my last Omega, the Speedmaster Professional "Moon" watch like the ones NASA gives their astronauts for use in space. Mine, which I bought in Vietnam at the Base Exchange Store for $99.00 (!) was, unfortunately, stolen. This is a more than fine replacement!

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but fragile (on the inside), July 7, 2011

By 

Chris "chris" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Omega Men's 3211.30.00 Speedmaster Date Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I've had my Speedmaster for four years and it's a terrific watch. A great band too. And the sapphire crystal is beautiful. The only problem is that the automatic winder has broken on mine twice within the first three years. It's been in the shop twice for a total of $375 in repairs. I've treated it like a baby, but somehow it has failed these two times. I'm not sure I'll bother fixing it if it happens again. So to anyone who wants to buy this watch (or any other mechanical watch) keep in mind it won't be as reliable and durable as your average $32 Timex.
