Better than a moon watchJun 19, 2010
By CB
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

 One of the most striking mens Speedmasters everJun 07, 2009
By William Arnett
"bill3arnett"
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!

a masterpiece of timepieceMar 05, 2012
By Veranillo
The watch is of impressive accuracy for an analog movement, not to mention its remarkable craftsmanship. After sync'ed the watch with NIST official time, it is less than 2 seconds slow after 24 hours.
I was struggling between this one and TAG Heuer Men's CJF2114.BA0594 Link Automatic Chronograph Watch, but eventually decided to go for Omega and have no regrets so far. Still, wishfully it would be nice to have crystal see-thru case back like what's featured in some other models.

 Beautiful but fragile (on the inside)Jul 07, 2011
By Chris
"chris"
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.

Well rounded luxury watch.Mar 21, 2011
By Lein Ad
This is a great well-rounded watch. I bought this watch in 2011 and so far, it has proven to be a very nice watch. When I started looking for a luxury watch, I had a few things I found important to me:
1. Durability - This watch is 100M water resistant. Lately all Omega watches are also 5000 g shock resistant. Although I am sure these are all under labratory conditions, I wanted to make sure if I accidentally take a shower with the watch on or banged my watch against something, I was not going to be looking for a new watch immediately. Most places tell you that you can swim with a 100 M water resistant watch. Eventually water resistance is compromised just by regular wear with heating and cooling elements in nature and you need to take the watch to get cleaned every 4-5 years, but I figure 100M will give me enough of a "buffer."
2. It will go with most occasions. I am not GQ by any means. But I wanted to make sure that the watch will not look out of place with what I wear. I find that this watch looks refined enough for me to wear with a nice suit and yet still rugged enough for me to wear when I am bumming around in a t-shirt and jeans.
3. It is a chronometer. If I wanted a super accurate watch, I would go with a quartz watch. But this watch's movement (engine) is certified by the COSC which basically says its average daily rate is -4/+6 seconds a day. There is a lot of debate about whether this is just marketing or what not, but for me, a watch needs to keep pretty darn good time. I can live with a -4 to +6 second range per day.
4. Similar watches - I also looked at the Omega 3221.30. It also offers dual time, month, day of week in addition to the features of the 3211.30. The reason I decided against the 3221.30 was because of two reasons. One is that we are dealing with mechanical watches here. The more pieces and moving parts that are in the watch, the more likely it will be more expensive to maintain. Also I usually know what month I am in and what day it is. It is usually the date that escapes me. I also looked at Tag Heuer and Rolex. Tags are also nice watches, but I felt Omega had more heritage behind it and I felt the Tags were a lot heavier for a comparable model. Rolex watches are great, but they are a lot more expensive for comparable models (I want to say about 3 times) and I felt they were more like my grandpa's or dad's type of watch.
