Omega 321 = Lemania 2310
Omega 861= lemania 1873
Omega 1861= modified lemania 1873 (one added Jewel,rhodium plating to better protect it from rust. Also note the added "delryn brake" in this movt. See above chronomaddox link.
The 861 was copper plated . Omega says rose gold until 1992 for the 861 and 863 then yellow gold until 1996, rhodium thereafter.
The 1863, has the metal brake instead of Delrin and is finished by hand (filing, angling and polishing).

Re: Official Omega Speedmaster Thread
Just thought i'll bump this one cause i am currently on the search for a nice pre-owned 3570.50 as a gift for my 30th.. well either this or a Tudor black bay lah.
Apologies for no significant contribution. Perhaps a wrist shot will suffice in the near future.

Re: Official Omega Speedmaster Thread
spent some time reading around and including this thread. very very seriously poisoned.
probably will be getting a 1861 powered 3570 - and it'll be my first "serious" watch - after collecting a couple of seikos.
wonder if ah goh had kept any in his stash or not LOL

Re: Official Omega Speedmaster Thread
Already got a moonwatch with strap and thinking of getting another. Any bros can advise whether to get another 1863 , 1861 or a 861 is better?

The 1861 has 1 extra jewel and glit plating compared to the 861
The 1863 on the other hand is technically a 1861 that is decorated and has its delryn brake replaced with a metal brake instead for used with display caseback models (eg. sapphire sandwich)
Personally I dont think there is significant difference between the different variants

That means they are all similar so no point get another same watch right? Might as well plan for other watches
Re: Official Omega Speedmaster Thread
I think it depends, if having different movements is an important criteria in your collection, probably not.Skyliner23 wrote:Solanum88 wrote: The movements are all derived from the Lemania 1873

I wouldn't get any other 861/1861/1863 variants if I already own one unless its the Mitsukoshi Panda/Alaska Project
but perhaps consider a Speedy with a 321 (the "actual" movement that went to the moon)/9300 (in-house coaxial,twin register chrono but this is a thick watch)/3033 or 3133 (developed by omega with Frederic Piguet, column wheel chrono, 3033 non coaxial, 3133 coaxial)
