New Speedmaster incoming from Omega (master co-axial chronometer)
Looks nice, not shabby @ all. Supposed to be thinner than the 9300 movements as well. Kind of reminds me of the tin tin/Japanese limited racing Speedies from the past.

That looks sharp. I am definitely a fan of the color accents.

Not to sound pedantic, but you're getting the latest Co-Axial Master Chronometer, which incorporates the new METAS testing standards. The Master Co-Axial Chronometer (as stated in your thread title) does not. Kudos to Omega for preventing confusion with their nomenclature.
Congratulations on the acquisition. Enjoy! |

Wow, I like it! I'll also have to check it out in person eventually. Omega's on a roll it seems.

Very sporty. Omega has another winner. Will need to take a closer look when I pick up my Speedy Tuesday.

For me this new model has a very busy dial, but that's just my opinion.
I just recently acquired my first Speedy, the base 9300 on leather and I love the hell out of this watch. Its simplicity just amazes me, its subtle look, and on leather it looks like the perfect size for daily wear. I wish I had gotten it way back when they cost under $5K. |

I really like this watch, especially given my love of cars and racing. I have a Broad Arrow GMT and it is my current favorite watch. Omega is doing good things these days

44.25mm diameter in case anyone else is too lazy to look at the article. I was hoping it was smaller. Nice looking piece none the less.

That's a shame I'm not a big fan of anything over 42mm.

I'd give the watch a chance on the wrist. Omega lug proportions wear small on the wrist. My grey side of the moon doesn't wear larger than my 42mm speedy pros.
