- Is the Speedmaster Professional a good first luxury watch?
- Yes, if you want a chronograph with real history. It is legible, durable and widely serviced, and it holds value better than most rivals. Just accept that you wind it by hand.
- How is this sapphire version different from the hesalite Moonwatch?
- This reference has a sapphire crystal on the front and a sapphire display back, so you can see the movement. The hesalite version uses a plastic crystal and a solid steel back, and is slightly thinner.
- Do I have to wind it every day?
- It is a manual-wind movement with roughly 50 hours of power reserve, so winding once every day or two keeps it running. There is no automatic rotor.
- Is it safe to wear every day?
- The sapphire crystal resists scratches and the steel case takes knocks well. Water resistance is limited, so keep it away from swimming and showers.
- Does it come with a date or other complications?
- No. It has time, a chronograph and a small seconds hand only. There is no date, which keeps the dial symmetrical.
- Can I swap the bracelet for a strap?
- Yes. The lugs take standard 20 mm straps, and many owners fit leather or nylon straps for a different look.
