Thoughts?

eeh100773 · 11 August 2015, 07:37 AM

Speedy.

rolfiz · 11 August 2015, 07:38 AM

Tudor... screw down crown, date and well, blue!

Urosfan · 11 August 2015, 07:40 AM

Speedy more iconic, but I'd pick the tudor

puppet · 11 August 2015, 07:54 AM

Speedy. Loved the THC in photos, but did nothing for me when I tried it. YMMV

jjnd08 · 11 August 2015, 07:56 AM

Omega Speedmaster Racing Co-axial with black and blue dial.

Etschell · 11 August 2015, 07:57 AM

Speedy for sure

Heo2 · 11 August 2015, 08:02 AM

Speedy

MCO1 · 11 August 2015, 08:09 AM

Speedy pro!

judson · 11 August 2015, 08:10 AM

Love my Speedy, it gets my vote.

CWIN · 11 August 2015, 08:12 AM

Speedy 100%. Both iconic in their own right but I love the history of Speedy and prefer it aesthetically.

crfsocal · 11 August 2015, 08:32 AM

Got to go with the Speedy on this one.

nick c · 11 August 2015, 08:36 AM

Not a fan of Omega so Tudor for me

THC for daily wear, with the date and timezone bezel and 150m WR.

mike · 11 August 2015, 09:29 AM

The Omega is one of the most iconic pieces out there. As Adam said the Thc gives aWR rating that is comforting along with a second time zone capisity. I might opt for the black or grey were it me.

swils8610 · 11 August 2015, 09:36 AM

Speedy.

kbutler1 · 11 August 2015, 09:36 AM

Speedy but I'm biased right now

watchwatcher · 11 August 2015, 09:40 AM

I would probably go with the Speedy on this one.

SpaceWanderer · 11 August 2015, 10:08 AM

Speedmasters have quite the history, yet how many know at least two failed on moon missions? Omega has milked the moon stuff anyway, and if you put all the special editions end to end they could probably stretch to the moon. If you like it better, get it. I'd go for the Tudor, as it has no such marketing goo and is built by the same company it always was. Omega is now a Swatch imprint. The "real" Speedmasters also have a manual wind movement, which is not good long-term for keeping the watch watertight. Another consideration is watch thickness. I don't know how fat the coaxial Speedmasters are, but chronographs tend to be thick already and Omega coaxials can be chubby without the extra complications. Worth checking if you're such things matter to you.

What's not to like?

I ultimately walked away as it is >15mm thick. I had one thick watch in my life and now I'm anti-thick-watch. The TCB is only 13mm thick... but a little too seasonal looking for me.

landroverking · 11 August 2015, 12:09 PM

The only Speedie for me would be the SMP moon watch. Cal 1861, if not that Tudor.

HogwldFLTR · 11 August 2015, 12:19 PM

I'm quite fond of my '69 Mark.

The renewed one that came out a couple of years ago is remarkable as well. Many like it with the racing dial and hands. Mines got a bit of patina on the hour markers. For the THC I'd want the grey not the blue but that's me. I just happened to be wearing the Omega this evening.

charger · 11 August 2015, 12:24 PM

Tudor for me.

Syed117 · 11 August 2015, 01:53 PM

Pretty much any omega over any Tudor.

I don't hate Tudor, but that chrono doesn't compare to a speedmaster.

NYCREBROKER · 11 August 2015, 02:10 PM

Speedie

slocke0624 · 11 August 2015, 02:12 PM

Speedy.

jdmi32 · 11 August 2015, 03:25 PM

Speedmaster Professional.

DCheeta · 11 August 2015, 03:33 PM

Both great chronos, both have "heritage", but this is my vote:

Bruin Watch · 11 August 2015, 03:34 PM

Another vote for the Speedy....
