I will have to examine one up close. Glad you love it so much, that is exactly what the passion of this hobby is all about for me.
Always been my favorite in the series. Just curious, how often do you use the chronograph, another reason why I haven't got one i that it looks impossible to read the chronograph minute counter at a glance.
For me horology is defined by accuracy, reliability, comfort (design) and looks! Looks are subjective but comfort, reliability and accuracy are not! Many times I fell into the hype and theory of loving a watch only to be disappointed after owning it! Omega has stepped up its game across the board and I love their watches / price points!
I actually use the the Chrono a lot because of how confident I am in its reliability. I have had watched where the Chrono broke or reset off center. As far as reading it I always prefer single counters with two hands like any clock. IWC omega excel at this just by glancing looking at the hand position ...
I have seen this one a few times and have always liked it but thought it is a tad on the large side. I was at a boutique again 2 days ago and tried it on again and I am getting closer and closer to pulling the trigger.
With my adoration of Omega.
