That's my issue with this watch, it's a classic dial in a speedmaster case which simply doesn't match. They're just using the speedmaster for everything. It feels like the higher ups at Omega were too scared to try something new. I'm positive they have enough people who can come up with a beautiful (vintage inspired) case design to fit this dial. Could easily be that watches/designs such as the Globemaster aren't popular so that's a reason why they didn't go that route.
And the issue of the Globemaster is, is that it's too big. It should have been 36mm and 38mm.

Not for everyone but good enough for me…

As with most new watches, the new Speedmaster Chronoscope received mixed reviews. I feel this watch has more Pros than Cons. Pros: -Manual new movement, 60Hr PR, with hacking seconds and quick Hour adjustments -comfortable new bracelet with adjustable 2.3...
Excellent choice!

Can’t wait to see these in person. Kent
Congrats, CC!

Out of all the iterations of this model, I would have chosen this panda configuration too. I forget: is the bezel ceramic with liquid metal? Wear it in good health
Thank you Lankysudanese…

Only the Bronze Gold version has ceramic bezel. The other SS models all has aluminum bezel.
Ah…nice one by the passionate couple.

How is the prints on the dial at the crossover? I’m going to take some macro shots of the overlapping numbers and see how it is on the Omega.
Beautiful trio

All are nice. I like the functionality of the chronoscope. One can time the distance of a thunderstorm from the flash and thunderclap time differences. Very useful feature when in the forest or hiking.
Haha, air rises at different rate

I think it will diffuse throughout room and hard to find out who did it. It is usually those with high fibre diets that fart the most. Heeeheehee

Very nice…

My favorite part of the watch is the telemtre function…I would actually use that on my boat to calculate storm distances.
Congratulations, logical and perfect choice …

I have looked at the various versions of the new Chronoscope and came to the same conclusion. The silver dial and blue markers looks good but the version that you went for is superb with the red detail.
I’m in Engineering field so my logical mind is at play…
By: Clueless_Collector : October 7th, 2021-14:08
Most blogs and reviews seems to forget this version, and I think it’s all marketing but I like it. The racing strap version is stunning so I asked to order that same strap when available.
I completely agree …
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 7th, 2021-14:43
My thoughts were to have a racing strap made for it.
Thank you yacomino…yes I did order that.
By: Clueless_Collector : October 7th, 2021-14:25
I was deciding between the bracelet or strap version but they only have the bracelet and you know that feeling, not wanting to wait once you know you can get it immediately. The difference is only $200 and I don’t have this new Nixon bracelet so I went fo...
How do you feel it compared to the 2 speedys?
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : October 7th, 2021-19:01
Thank you for adding the thickness, which is the detail I'm interested the most. It seems wearable, a good balance between a speed and a vintage chrono, without falling into the annoying (for me) re-edition of the old good times. Is there open back?

Really a great looking Speedmaster
By: Moka-Tiger (Ron) : October 10th, 2021-14:37
I saw this in person yesterday. (My AD tempted me with another beauty.) This one could be my next watch, since I don't have a Speedy. I like the blue too, but this panda red/white/black colorway offers a lot of eye candy. Wear it in good health and enjoy!...
I think so too….
By: Clueless_Collector : October 10th, 2021-15:09
All versions look great and it’s hard to choose but I’m sure each version has their fans. These should be available and not be tempted to add another watch to get one. Thanks and hope you get it soon.
Looks great Raymond and I like this panda version as well...

Had a chance to see the white/silver dial last week but was not convinced as I did not have much time to spend with it. I still would have preferred if Omega put this dial and movement in a Deville reference as I believe it would have boosted the Deville ...
The white/silver dial with blue prints will be very similar to your Snoopy 3.
By: Clueless_Collector : October 10th, 2021-16:57
I think Omega knows the DeVille didn’t do well and as with the Museum collection for the chronoscope dial so they made this choice. True about the winding, because they are no sound or click feedback like a manual which I prefer, not sure why this movemen...

Tell me any watch or thing that will make everyone happy, it is non existent nowadays. People just like to complain and have opinions and that is perfectly ok with me. I take the other sides reviews and opinions to help me make a decision but ultimately i...
Thanks for the nice words…

I see you are a huge fan of this NTTD SM300, great choice 👍🏻 ...
