Probably like many on this forum...I've long loved the Speedmaster.

To me the iconic chronograph is special for many reasons. I could go on about the dial, the case, bracelet, pushers,.... But the 321 movement tied to Lemania and NASA history is what has long been my true draw to the watch.

A bunch of years back, I had some bad experiences looking to acquire vintage Speedmasters, so much so, that it turned me off of the Speedy. I assumed that I would never own a Speedmaster with a caliber that went to the moon.

Then...the steel 321 came out, I fell in love, I saw this as a chance for a modern version of history. When the Canopus 321 was announced, the price point gave me some pause, but I was drawn to the historic nature of the piece.

I really feel lucky to have these two watches and can not express how much joy they bring to me.

I look forward to many years ahead adding my own wear, scratches, and dings as these watches age with me and my family.
