Lol….no, they have these ready for delivery when they released the news, which I think it is good.
Why release a new watch but let collectors wait for months before they can get their hands on one?
They are not Rolex, haha…..Can’t get Rolex any this year so shifting my focus 😅😜
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...
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.
You know that I can’t match your macro photography skills.
So please don’t ‘put me on the spot’ like that 🤣
Every brand is looking for ideas from their history…
It is a sign of fatigue or new decision makers, designers just want quick results…not really passionate like the past.
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.
I will keep that in mind next time I go for some adventures…
Hopefully both me and watch will survive, lol…. Let me ask a stupid or wild question….I wonder, if someone farts, I start the Chrono and stops when I smell it, what does this measure 😅🤣?
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

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 en...
Remember their DeVille and the Museum collection?
It was not popular so why would they repeat that?
They already did, my friend….
In a WG case with black dial in their Museum collection.
Very nice…
My favorite part of the watch is the telemtre function…I would actually use that on my boat to calculate storm distances.
I will try to learn how to use this function …
It wil add more please owning the watch.
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…
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 am glad I watched that WatchAdvisor review video all the way to the end…
This Panda version is great and a sleeper. Looking forward to seeing yours too.
Thank you yacomino…yes I did order that.
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?
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?
The relatively thin profile and bracelet wears very comfortable indeed.
Watch is light and the details are very nicely done. Yes this has a wide open back with 3/4 plate, a first for Omega.
Lol….no, they have these ready for delivery when they released the news, which I think it is good.

True story: my pal Marc was at a Rolex AD Tuesday. They had . . .
. . . steel Subs, Explorers, and Daytonas in their display case. 😳 He rushed over. There was a sign in small print that read, "For display purposes only". 😡 "What's the deal?", he asks the saleslady. "I want that Sub. Why can't you sell it to me?" (nervou...
First the covers for the display, now the dummy watches…
I just don’t get what they (Rolex) strategy is but I’m clueless anyways.
Haha, you know me, Art… I have “No Time To Delay”…
Also just watched the long waited movie this event…enjoyed it 👍🏻 ...
Really a great looking Speedmaster
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….
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.
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...
True about the Snoopy 3. Maybe since this was an automatic movement with the rotor removed, it might not have the same click spring mechanism as a standard manual wind movement 🤔 🤷♂️
As for not having success with the Deville, Museum, or other line...well how can Omegs change that around? They have to either make a choice of taking risks with this piece in the Deville line to boost attention or DROP the Deville and other lines which d...
No matter what any brands do, there will always be controversy, Justin…
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 👍🏻 ...
