ZSHSZ's hands-on review of the white dial Omega Speedmaster Professional offers a crucial collector's perspective on a highly anticipated release. His detailed observations, particularly regarding the bracelet and movement, provide invaluable insights for potential buyers navigating the current market. This article synthesizes community reactions to help readers understand the nuances of this modern Speedmaster.
Needless to say, I liked the watch on press photos and I still think that after the clouds clear up, in a year or two I might get one so here’s my humble opinion…
The dial is very appealing, superb legibility, much better than the Daytona due to the monochromatic dial, I also like the red touch, stolen from the Daytona(debatable), on the wrist, the fit is perfect no issues, the display case-back is also a nice touch, but as of late I don’t really care about this option, specifically on this relatively speaking machine finished movements.
The pusher feel is great, at list for my tastes, I prefer a bit of “firmness” on the action, versus the “buttery smooth” action of let’s say Lange, but that’s just me..
I also like that this caliber supposed to be more accurate than the previous one and the most important addition is the “hacking seconds”!
Now, the clasp and bracelet on the other hand is a disaster, considering the price, since in my experience a cheap Mall watch has equal if not better quality bracelet(I mean it)!
A forty year old Jubilee looks tighter than this brand new one on this watch
If I’ll ever pull the trigger and buy it with my own real money, I will definitely opt for the rubber strap.
Availability, as for the sales rep. roughly six months with a deposit! Say what??? No thanks…
In closing, I took a couple of quick photos to suport my opinion, but curious about others experiences…
Have a great Friday and weekend friends!
