Thank you for taking the time to share in written words your thoughts which will be of great value to potential buyers of this model. I think the majority of the ideas applies to the Dark Side of the Moon as well.

Omega 9300 Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch chronograph in-depth review
Omega cal. 9300 Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch chronograph experience test by Marcus Hanke I can safely assume that the two most iconic wristwatch models in history are the Rolex Submariner and Omega’s famous „Moonwatch“, the Speedmaster Professional....
What a review marcus!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to share this. I have an old Mark IV, Lemania base engined, but I'm also really interested in what they did with the 9300. Very interesting technically speaking, though a bit thick. Cheers, Mark
An image can only . . .
. . . hint; your review reveals . Glad to learn my experience with the Aqua Terra annual calendar was not atypical; that iteration of Omega's movement technology was similarly outstanding. Remarkable insights and acumen, as always. Thank you, Marcus. ...
Monumental, epic write up befitting the subject, Dr. Hanke. Bravo!
Thank you! I miss these types of serious long form articles, not many left on web 2.0. Chapeau.
The most comprehensive Report on the Omega 9300 Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch
That is an amazing and in depth report o on Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. I had to take a food break and a drink break and I still don't think all the great info has sunk into my head. I find the case design interesting not the most conventional an ...
I know a few people wearing the Speedy when snorkeling ...
The gaskets are very effective, and the threads to screw down crown and pushers are not really necessary. For the hand-winding original, screwing down the crown does not make much sense, and I think that any chronograph with screw down pushers fails to be...
First of all, thanks for this very detailled review, Marcus.
Obviosuly a technical beast. Now, the poit on which focused my attention is that " monocounter " chronograph. It is a very original way to tell the elapsed time, but, as you said, is it practical, legible? I guess that it will take some time to get used t...
I think nothing beats the legibility of a central 60 minutes counter ...
... since it offers such a large radius and space between the increments, which assures a highly accurate reading. Of course, the drag of such a massive hand on the the chronograph gear is substantially larger than that of a comparatively tiny hand on a s...
Wow! Incredible review!
And amazing photos to accompany as well. I've always loved the Omega Speedmasters, they have a slightly vintage look to them but still modern at the same time, can be worn by a gentlemen in a suit and tie or athletic sportsman. The versatility in its look...
Thank you, Ping ...
... for your kind comments! I agree with you in that the Speedmaster Professional is a highly versatile watch. Especially with a leather strap attached, it can serve as a dress watch with more formal outfits as well. However, I would not attribute this to...
Count me as a fan of the chrono display counter.
I really like the hours and minutes on the same subdial. Sure, it is different than I am used to, but I imagine when worn on a frequent basis it would become very natural to read. I give a lot of credit to Omega for utilizing this display. I was rather su...
I never stated I disliked the monocounter in general ...
... in the contrary, I am fan of it since I saw Patek's for the first time, and recall praising it when I saw it realized by the barely known manufacturer Pierre de Roche six years ago: My problem with the Speedmaster Professional's monocounter only is i...
Excellent review....
Having first spent time with the Planet Ocean Chronograph, which I love in the show case but could never pull off on the wrist, the Speedy with 9300 is my ideal modern Omega chronograph. I find the size and proportions to be perfect ( de gustibus....), an...
Superb review
This really ticks all the boxes for me. You ferret out the changes (for better or worse) in an iconic design that we non-Omega experts might easily see as - "oh, you got a new one of the old moon watches?" Thanks for digging in deeply. Cazalea

Column Wheel??
I've searched around the internet, but have not been able to find an exploded drawing (or similar) of the 9300's column wheel and actuators. From what's visible in these images, it looks more like a cluster/stack of cams, rather than what 'traditionally' ...
