Tudor in this case, mainly because I don't like 70's style watch cases. Now if a regular Speedmaster Professional was an option it would win against all Tudors.

I don't like the case on that omega.

I'd go with thc on this one.

I'd normally pick the speedmaster over Tudor, but I'm not keen on that iteration.

Tudor in this battle.

I love the looks of the THC but I have had 3 of them and I had problems with all of them. Speedmaster 9300 would be my choice from Omega.

Tough call, and I'm even not 100%, THC. I like the blue version....

Both good choices. It's a question of whether or not you want a 70's big case watch with a non-rotating bezel. I prefer cases with a rotating bezel.

I would get the tudor if it were my money.

+1 for Tudor. Omega dial looks a little too busy for me.

I have tried on both and actually love them both. If push came to shove I'd choose the Omega

I'm not into chrono's due to the dial clutter, so of those two, I would go with the Tudor because it's less busy.

Much as I love the Tudor, I vote Omega: that's a splendid watch, probably will be considered "iconic" one day, although the word is over-used.

Omega here More refined, more unique, in- house movement, and a buttery smooth presidential style bracelet

THC for me hands down. I'm really not a fan of the case and bracelet. I don't like watches without lugs.

This is what I would do! I think Dan Pierce has one too. Looks excellent.

If it were the classic Speedy Pro I would go with the Omega, but in this instance I prefer the THC.

Neither, really...but if forced would probably go for the tudor. I like the omega, but something about the case shape that doesn't do it for me.

As others mentioned, the Omega in the photo is not the Speedmaster Professional. Between the two pictured watches, I would choose the Tudor. Between the Speedmaster Professional and the Tudor, I would choose Omega.

Omega.
For me, any chronograph must have a tach. scale.

In this case I'd go with Omega, I'm just not a fan of the Tudor range. I guess because I know they are lesser brand of Rolex. I have a Planet Ocean, generally I like Omega's designs although mostly in the Seamaster, Planet Ocean, Aqua Terra models.
