I was ten when dad bought this Speedmaster. 45 years ago. I’ve been hooked on watches ever since. And, sentimental about Omegas.

Kind of makes me wish I would have gotten the white dial over the black

Honestly depends on your collection

If I was going to be a one watch guy, and decided that the Seamaster was going to be that one watch, to me the black dial on black rubber is the single greatest looking Seamaster Omega produces. It is flat out gorgeous with just the perfect amount of red on the dial.

I went with white because every other watch I own is either black or blue dial. Wanting a white dial, the Seamaster to my eyes is the best looking white dial out there. I prefer it over the Daytona. I prefer it over the Speedy Racing line. The beautiful black ceramic bezel just joins up with the black strap in the perfect way. It looks amazing.

But watch-vs-watch I still think black dial gets the nod (particularly on rubber). It just looks so sharp!

Need to buy it on leather and add the bracelet. I have the same watch. Don't worry, well worth having both. I prefer it on the strap. Bracelet ~$700

I bought the bracelet separately, unfortunately not possible to get it on bracelet (but this gives it exclusivity if you put it on bracelet )

either way, down the road I am planning to get for all my Omegas all the strap options which I currently dont own)
