I Bought An Omega Speedmaster! | My Luxury Watch Collection

About this video

Sacawa purchases and unboxes an Omega Speedmaster ‘First Omega In Space’ watch, explaining his decision to finally add this classic timepiece to his collection after previously being deterred by its typical case size and overwhelming historical complexity. He examines the watch’s design details, compares it to the original CK2998 worn by astronaut Wally Shirra in 1962, and discusses why this 39.7mm version works better for his smaller wrist.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa values having original box and papers with watch purchases, considering it worth paying extra for despite it being a personal preference rather than necessity
• Sacawa recommends the Speedmaster ‘First Omega In Space’ as an affordable alternative to rare original vintage Speedmasters, offering manual chronograph functionality with significant historical significance
• Sacawa prioritizes learning comprehensive history about watches he owns and wears, using reference materials to deepen his knowledge before adding pieces to his collection
• Sacawa considers case size and wrist compatibility critical factors when selecting watches, preferring 40mm or smaller for his 6.5-inch wrist
