Speedmaster model guidance

Recommended Posts

I have decided to treat myself to a gen Omega Speedmaster.

 

Opted for the crystal sandwich version as I am not the most careful of people and the hesalite version would probably end up scratched to bits within months (I know it can be mostly polished out)

 

My confusion is around the following 2 models :

 

311.30.42.30.01.006 - UK Price £3230 - calibre 1861

https://www.watchmaster.com/en/omega/speedmaster-moonwatch-chronograph/311-30-42-30-01-006/6XXNCGJQTK?reference_code=X5U1LNR9Z1

 

 

311.33.42.30.01.002- UK Price £3240 - calibre 1863 -

https://www.watchmaster.com/en/omega/speedmaster-moonwatch-chronograph/311-33-42-30-01-002/vukdnb549r?reference_code=OY8SL46WSU

 

Both are crystal sandwich so which to choose?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

also go with the bracelet easy to add a leather strap but not vica versa and it is worth loads more

+1 vote for the bracelet. You can buy and sell about a million different straps that’ll look great on this, but try sourcing a genuine Speedy bracelet. About $800 from an AD. If you can even get them to sell you one. Much better buy with the steel.

One of my fav watches. Sadly the vintage pre moons are out of reach.

Check out speedmaster 101 it's the only go to site for comprehensive history and values.
