The Omega Speedmaster "Sapphire Sandwich" stands out as a modern classic, and after spending time with it, I can confidently say it’s my preferred version over the Hesalite model. The key reason? The stunning display caseback.
Display Caseback & Movement
The exhibition caseback is a showstopper. It reveals the beautifully finished Caliber 3861 movement, which is a joy to admire. The Geneva waves, polished bevels, and intricate details make the watch as captivating off the wrist as it is on. Beyond aesthetics, the 3861 is a METAS-certified Master Chronometer, offering impressive accuracy and anti-magnetic properties. In daily wear, it keeps excellent time, living up to its reputation for reliability and precision.
Bracelet & Comfort
The bracelet on the Sapphire Sandwich is superb. It tapers elegantly from 20mm at the lugs to 16mm at the clasp, giving it a refined, vintage-inspired look while maximizing comfort. The fit is outstanding-Omega’s toolless micro-adjustment system means you can easily tweak the bracelet size on the go, which is especially useful when your wrist swells during the day. This feature alone makes the watch incredibly wearable for all-day comfort.
Overall Experience
Every aspect of the Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich feels thoughtfully designed. The combination of the display caseback, the beautiful 3861 movement, and the superb, easily adjustable bracelet makes it a standout in the Speedmaster lineup. For anyone who appreciates both horological artistry and everyday practicality, this model is hard to beat.
