    Recently, Grégoire Rossier and Anthony Marquié introduced the third edition of their masterpiece ‘Moonwatch Only’. Where the 2nd edition was subtitled ’60 Years of Omega Speedmaster’, this third edition has a ‘The Ultimate Omega Speedmaster Guide’ subtitle. When this new edition was dropped on the @Watchbooksonly account of the authors, I put my order in […]

    Can you imagine how many additional pages for just the Limited Edition Speedmasters by 2030? It's going to look like that World Book Encyclopedia collection.....

    What do you about this one compared to the "Omega Speedmaster The Moon Watch" book? Is the moonwatch only book only contain the moonwatch or could I see more details about the other ones such as the automatic speedmasters, speedmaster moonphase (valjoux), speedmaster perpetual calendar, speedmaster mark X/X.X, and Omega chronograph etc?

    I mean, all they mention are...
    3rd revised and expanded edition:
    - 32 additional pages
    - A new 16-page gallery of astronauts’ and their Speedmaster
    - 17 new Speedmasters
    - A new detailed story of a vintage Speedmaster
    - More than 120 new pictures and about 50 pictures improved
    - Text corrections and additions
    - Models serial range and popularity index updated
    - Many QR codes to extend your exploration



    That's what the differences between 1st and 3rd book, but I wonder if there's information about those speedies that I've mention such as digital speedy, automatic speedmasters, Japan automatic speedy, speedmaster moonphase (valjoux), speedmaster perpetual calendar, speedmaster mark 2,3,4,4.5,5 then the diver speedy, and pre Omega chronograph etc? I had the AJTT book but the info there isn't that deep including the variation existed. As I want to collect the more affordable speedy beside my moonwatch because those rare speedy prices are getting out of hand, I want to have affordable alternative without breaking my bank.

    @Thatguy it's not a Speedmaster book, it's a Moonwatch book.
