Add a Reverso to those two and you have “the” iconic trio collection.

That's a great pair but neither would suit me. Both are too large for my taste and wrist. The first rule of watch collecting is collect what suits you (imho). The second rule is follow your own course. For me I've only interest in watches that are well waterproof as well so the Speedy is disqualified for a second reason (although it is a truly iconic one). Enjoy your pair; they're perfect for you!!!

I might be biased since I own them both, but for me nothing beats a lumed 369 Explorer & Hesalite Speedy combo!

Great minds think alike :). IMHO the perfect diving watch and the perfect chronograph. Simple, functional...beautiful (and no date window to ruin the symmetry)

Great post!

If the word “perfect” is mentioned, the 16710 comes to mind!
To me those two are the perfect duo!

Not at all, although I'm perhaps more a Schubert/Goethe man myself.

Based on what y'all are saying, I'm for the first time thinking this duo is iconic.
