Omega Speedmaster acrylic popping out?
Hi everyone,
I woke up the other day to my Speedy making crackling sounds. After much investigation I've found that my Plexiglass is crackling because it's not properly fitted to the watch. I've had the watch for 10 months and it's a desk diver so not sure how this happened.
Has anyone had something similar happen and do you know if the Omega warranty covers it being fixed?
Thank you

I believe this is similar to what happened to Dave Scott's Speedy on Apollo 15 in 1971 and is why he used his personal Bulova as a back up on the lunar surface. From the NASA log:
"I noticed that the crystal of my Omega had popped off sometime during the EVA. Therefore, on EVA-3, I used my backup watch."
It's a bummer that your Speedy has a problem but you're in good company!

All this tells me is that Omega haven't fixed this issue decades later 😂
Glad to be in the company of legends though
Yes, that's a warranty issue. Get it sorted 👍🏻
