Reference Points: Understanding The Omega Speedmaster (VIDEO)
Welcome to the third installment of Reference Points, our series that takes an exhaustive look at some of the most important families of timepieces in history (Episode 1 featured the entire collection of perpetual calendar chronographs from Patek Philippe, and Episode 2 featured the Rolex Paul Newman Daytona). In this episode, we examine the legendary Omega Speedmaster, a watch that has become a brand unto itself over the last 50 years. We'll examine the origins of the Speedmaster, its progression into the "space watch" that we know today, and how it has evolved over the years. 1 OF 30 I will begin by pointing out what this is not.

To my mind, it is fun to debate which is better, but beyond the technical merits of the movement behind each watch, this is necessarily a subjective, inconclusive matter.No, instead I wanted to start a thread about how CASE size has now become the key determinant in **my** decisions about which watches win out in buying decisions and whether they determine what becomes a legendary watch and what doesn't. Take the debate between 5170 and 5070.I simply cannot wear the 5070. Debate ends there. It's too big for my wrists and it looks like I'm wearing my dads watch.5170 for me all day please, irrespective of other considerations. New Generation win. But strangely, because the 5070 has a huge outsized case, it has become a PP legend, despite the Lemania-based movement not being technically comparable to the PP in-house m
