High praise! And it means a lot coming from you.
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.
Agreed
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!

Is that the racing version?
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.

This is the racing dial yes
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 ...
Very nice and I can see why. It is a great looking watch and does everything it should 👍

I keep coming back to this one.
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.
I can understand. I love the white version you have which I find more versatile then the black racing dial I got! I regret not getting the white version like yours!

By all reports the cal 9300 movement in your Speedmaster . . .
. . . is a consummate performer. Bulletproof and accurate over the long term, too.
My pal's earlier GMT Speedmaster - some twelve years old now - is only beginning to show its age. I'll wager yours will perform similarly well for a decade or longer.

I believe that the racing carries the 9900 movement.
But both are powerhouse vertical-clutched column-wheeled co-axial escaped movements
I should know better than to rely on my memory . . .
. . . when posting! Thanks much for the needed correction, LS . . .
I hardly corrected you.
Learned a lot under your tutelage on this forum, especially about vintage Omega. 🙏🏿
