Nicolas, known as amanico on WatchProSite, presents a captivating comparison between two distinct versions of the Omega Speedmaster 2998: the black and white, and the previously featured blue and white. His original post, enriched with both official press images and his personal photographs taken at Omega's Bienne headquarters, invites collectors to consider the subtle yet significant differences that make these watches complementary rather than redundant. This exploration delves into the aesthetic nuances that define each reference, prompting a crucial question for enthusiasts: which one to acquire?

Last week, I pored the blue and white version, here is the black and white. Funny how close and different they are... At the point we can say they are complementary? 

Official pictures, which are, for once, very good:

And the fatal question... Which one to get? 

Best,

But my next plans are more on consolidation of the collection than expansion. Getting older forces me to make choices….

I would vote for the blue. The b&w is more legible but screams a little too much. I would wear the blue one on a dark blue cordovan. An Omega FOIS is on my potential list, but with the traditional all black dial.
