This month, Speedy Tuesday turns 3 years old! Time for a little overview on the best read Speedy Tuesday articles from May 2012 till now.

It all started with this post on Tuesday 29th of May 2012, about a Speedmaster Mark 4.5. We made it a recurring item and many of our readers (you!) chipped in as well. Besides the amazing quantity of e-mails we received with photos and stories of your precious Speedmaster watches, we also received some great guest contributions which we gladly published. Please, keep them coming! It doesn’t have to be a limited edition or vintage Speedmaster to be featured, just tell us why YOU chose an Omega Speedmaster as your wrist companion. And no, it doesn’t need to be a real astronaut’s watch either, any reason why you bought it will do. In our opinion, it is always interesting and entertaining to learn why people chose the Speedmaster. Use our contact form to get in touch with us. We always get back to you.

So, time for a Top 10 Speedy Tuesday articles of all time. Or at least since May 29th 2012. Of course, articles that have been on-line since almost 3 years had more time to collect views and visits than last week’s Speedy Tuesday article, but that will sort itself out in time.

Top 10 Speedy Tuesday Articles

Below our Top 10, starting with No.10 of the best read Speedy Tuesday articles since 2012.

 10. We’ve Found An Astronaut’s Speedmaster Professional

An evergreen and also one of our finest Speedy Tuesday moments. We actually found an astronaut’s Speedmaster that was owned by Austrian ESA astronaut Reinhard Furrer. The current owner approached us with this watch, not knowing exactly what it was and we helped him finding out more about it and its history. It was up for auction at some point later on, but retracted as a certain organization wasn’t too happy about it being on the market. Click here.

7. Omega Speedmaster Lunar Dust Caliber 9300

Introduced as Lunar Dust, but renamed ‘Grey Side of the Moon’ very soon after due to some copyright issues (as the story goes). A beautiful second version of Omega’s ceramic caliber 9300 Speedmaster models. We’d have a hard time deciding between this model and the Dark Side of the Moon, any Dark Side of the Moon model in the meanwhile. Click here.

In 2014 Omega introduced a re-edition of the famous Speedmaster Mark II (Professional) and not only did we review it, we also compared it to the version of 1969. Omega surely knows how to do a proper re-edition with a modern touch to make it interesting for today’s buyers, as purists probably will always go vintage. Click here.
