The speed master is an icon because it's everything a vintage watch should be.

You want a steel bracelet, you want a black dial, you want handwap.

I mean those three things alone, right? like what other watch that's in the modern world

like fits those three things right now you know it just it is that good. The Hey everybody. I'm your host Stephen Pulverin and this is Hodincky Radio.

Welcome back. It's 2021. We've got a new year and we are not wasting any time.

On what was for many of us our first or second day

back at work after the holidays, Omega dropped an absolute bomb as far as

watch news goes with a brand new speedmaster professional moon watch.

We've had tons of coverage of it over on the site which I recommend you go check out

but I thought it'd be fun to start our first Hodincky radio episode out with Ben and Jack telling me what makes the new

Moonwatch new, why it's such a big deal, and a little bit about what Omega has done over the last number of years to put them in a pretty

unique position in the watch market. After that I sit down with Cole and Danny to discuss a

pair of stories that they've authored over the last few weeks that I personally really liked.

For Cole, it's his in-depth review and video, his week on the wrist,

with the Universal Genev Pole router, which is a watch that has a special place in my heart, as you'll hear.

And Cole gets into all the details here, why he wanted to go deep on this watch, what prospective

collectors need to know, and kind of how he picked all the little things that went into making this

this really incredible package. For Danny, it's a very different kind of story.

It's a story about how the Rolex Day Date became the de facto starter watch for NBA players. I'm really happy to have

sports back on TV so if we can talk about sports and watches sign me up I'm never

gonna say no to that. And then to finish out the episode're going to bring you a narrative piece.

This is the performance of a story
