I would go Tudor. The orange & blue THC specifically.

I do like the 3861 Speedmaster as well. Just love the THC aesthetics better

Speedmaster.

One of the most historically significant watches in existence, essentially unchanged since the 1960s. Super legible, pairs well with most occasions, and the cool factor of having its ancestors go to the moon.

Having said that, the answer can only be the Speedmaster. It is simply the most important chronograph in history.

Tough choice. I think Tudor is really coming on strong these days. The Speedy, has been to the moon!!!

Speedy for sure. Aesthetically much more pleasing and heritage unparalleled.

Going purely by looks, the Speedy. The Tudor dial is too chunky IMO. I recently discovered the Speedmaster Japan Racing dial with orange accents - stunning!!

Between these two, the Speedy for sure. That Tudor chrono is very unattractive. Too forcibly "retro", unbalanced, and poorly designed. Still too clunky, too.

But frankly, I really love the older Tudor "big block" oysterdate and the Tudor "Tiger" chrono.

Would love to see this product line revived, in a thinner case with an inhouse movement, and without the word "Tiger" on the dial
