Thoughts on the Omega speedmaster 9300 coaxial

Hi all,

I currently own an omega sea master planet ocean professional and I am debating picking up the new coaxial 9300 speedmaster. Any thoughts from owners of this watch would be greatly appreciated. I am jumping back and forth between this or a speedmaster professional 1861 "moon watch" variant. I realize one is automatic vs. the manual winding legend and I am torn between old vs. new interpretations of this piece...

Hi Ruckdee, I own the previous non inhouse version of the sea master the 2500 calibre with the 2892 A2 ETA ebouche fitted with the coaxial escapement.I own the last version before the watches were fitted with the in house calibre 8500.

Thank you for your detailed response. I asked because I wanted to know if...

...your PO is a 2500 or a 8500. If yours were a 8500, then you already have that novelty on your wrist and I may suggest getting the 1861 Speedmaster just so you will have an Omega from an older time also. But as your PO is a 2500, I think it wouldn't hur...

I couldn't be happier with my Speedy 9300

By: RogerP : June 12th, 2012-08:11

Greetings, I picked up a Speedy 9300 about a week and a half ago. There is a looooong post on HOrologicalMEanderings about the purchase decision (Datejust II, Spitfire and Senator Seventies were all in the running). I have been trying to find the time for...

Thanks Roger! I appreciate the info, I checked out horological meandering post and funny enough I was considering the SS Rolex Datejust 2 with the white dial as well! After seeing the additional pics you posted looks like I am swayed towards the speedy th...

Oh Canada!

As a fellow Canuck, I more than understand. Good luck with your search. I'm presently considering a nice vintage Rolex piece to go along with the Speedy.

Thanks for posting the pics!

Thanks RogerP for posting the pics, it's making my decision that much easier! haha

the 9300 speedy gets a very high score in some reviews

By: G99 : June 13th, 2012-15:18

Big Daddy is interested in it and one review gave it a rating of 91/100 which is pretty unheard of. the original moonwatch is the icon, but the 9300 is probably an easier watch to live with as you never need to wind it. its got a great balanced dial with ...

It is a stunning piece

By: MSNWatch : June 14th, 2012-02:51

I almost never buy modern but I have this one. It's that nice. ...

Great looking watch

By: watch_man85 : June 18th, 2012-00:31

Thanks for posting the pic, its a great looking piece! I had a chance to try one on just the other day and hopefully it will be the next addition to my ever growing watch family. Cheers
