Four episodes. Four contenders. One watch. This is the moment Andrew McUtchen and Justin Hast have been building toward across the entire Omega Speedmaster: Four Ways to Fly to the Moon series — and it’s time to put their money where their mouths are.
In this final episode, both men sit down with all four modern Omega Speedmasters on the table and go through the painful, exhilarating process of ruling them out one by one, until only their ultimate pick remains.
Spoiler: they don’t land in the same place. And honestly, that’s the point. Along the way, the conversation gets philosophical. What actually makes you choose a watch? Is it the story behind it — a handshake with a man who was there for Apollo 13, an orange loom that once stopped you cold in a magazine? Or is it something simpler, more honest — the moment you put it on and just don’t take it off? Andrew and Justin tear into the big questions: the case for patina versus the case against it, the difference between a “take” and a pose, and whether legitimacy in watch collecting is something you earn or something you feel. There’s genuine disagreement here, the kind you only get between two people who have spent years talking about watches without a filter.
Four watches. Two men. One choice to make. If you’re coming in cold — go back and start from Episode 1. There’s been some emotion. There’ve been some dramas. This is the payoff.
