The Omega Speedmaster Professional 310.30.42.50.01.001, launched on January 8, 2021, has been well-received, particularly due to its updated features such as a new bracelet, improved movement, and enhanced overall design. While the price increased significantly from around €5,000 to €6,100, the watch has maintained its appeal among enthusiasts. The review highlights the performance of the Master Chronometer-certified 3861 movement, which offers impressive accuracy and a water resistance rating of 50 meters. The Hesalite crystal, favored for its authenticity, does show scratches but can be polished. Over five years of ownership, the watch has proven reliable, with no significant technical issues reported. The new stainless steel bracelet is noted for its comfort and elegance, addressing previous concerns about the older designs. Despite the price hikes in the watch market, the Speedmaster Professional remains a favorite for those looking for quality under €10,000, blending tradition with modern enhancements. With options available for sapphire crystals and various dial designs, the Speedmaster continues to be a strong contender in the luxury watch segment.
