Great looking watch - I think the silver dial with the blue bezel is the most stunning. A brilliant exclusive / first look at this watch and a bonus to have the Omega guy back to introduce it - that is always a nice touch. Well done.
A number of negative comments regarding the 43mm case size. In my opinion the 43mm diameter, 12.8mm thickness and 48mm lug to lug dimensions are perfect for this style of watch.
Just last week I received my Chronoscope in blue/silver with the steal bracelet. It looks great and wears pefect, actually smaller as the 43mm diameter would suggest. More like a 41mm. on my wrist. I'm very happy with it. Well done Omega!
Thank you for the hands-on! Given that the movement is based on the automatic 9900, how is the manual winding feel on these watches? Does it have the nice buttery smooth clicky feel of the Lemania based movements of the Moonwatch?
Love your remarks! You are truly passionate, just as I am ... BRAVO! The "mechanical feedback" IMHO was as I expected it from such a calibre... It is something I always check...
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you for your reply! This may be a bit irrational, but when when it comes to manual winding watches, I think the mechanical feedback is so important it can make or break the watch owning experience...thank you once again for the review, and please keep up the great work!

Thank you for your video, your channel has been my go to place for the most comprehensive information on new watch releases. I was on the fence with the new moon watch, but this watch has definitely made my buy list. I love the Silver dial and would purchase it on a bracelet, then get other straps afterwards. I also really like the Bronze gold version, I just wonder how it will patina, I wish it won’t change much as I honestly love the hue of this alloy.
Thanks for your kind feedback! I love your comment! The Bronze-Gold version will only patina a little... it will turn slightly brown... and you can always easily clean it by using either lemon juice & water or by disolving a tablet in water one uses to clean its third teeth ... that's no rocket science!

HEYO !! Sup Alex !!! It is an incredible watch, personally I think that the one with the silver dial looks excellent in both combinations (leather and steel bracelet) the size is very well achieved, it has a very good presence, the most important thing is still a tool watch !!!
Thank you Jonny! Love your comment! And YES the silver dial is the one to have .... I said it in the video ... but I'd prefer it with a blue strap with a mat surface and/or a matching tissue strap ...
I usually do not like busy dials, but I could do an exception for this one 😉 It really looks great! A modern product in a vintage dress. Furthermore a 43mm watch that probably wears nicely on wrist considering the reasonable lug-to-lug length. Another great product from my favorite brand.
I'm stuck between the bronze-gold and the blue dial on a leather strap. Either one of those watches though would make a great addition to any watch collection. Good job Mr. Lintz!

First-rate review (scoop!) of this stunning new Omega! I think my favourite is the silver dial, but I like the black/red too. An interesting and stylish addition to the Speedmaster range. I'm still unclear whether the Bronze Gold alloy will tarnish/patina? Clearly, the attraction of bronze is the patina, while the appeal of gold is its stability. I'd like an unequivocal "yes/no" from Omega.
James you are welcome! Love your comment! Silver dial? YES! Also my favorite... The Bronze-Gold version will only patina a little... it will turn slightly brown... and you can always easily clean it by using either lemon juice & water or by dissolving a tablet in water one uses to clean its third teeth ... that's no rocket science!
Alexander, did they tell you why the twin mainspring barrels are hidden on this new movement? The rest of the 9900 series shows 'Barrel One' & 'Barrel Two'.
IMHO perfect! I have a 17 cm wrist and that Chronoscope felt good on it. I am personally a fan of straps and not bracelets, so I preferred the look, touch & feel with the straps. But also the bracelet wears good, it perfectly adapts to the wrist and is very smooth, no sharp edges etc ...
Thanks for sharing your feedback! 39 - 40 mm for such a chronograph are too small today... people over decades got used to wear bigger sizes... even the Chinese start buying huge watches now...
@@WatchAdvisor for people who love watches: we don’t care about trends and what Chineses buy, we care about watch beautiness and it is not for this size
Thank you Alexander for sharing your videos are great. Lug to lug is very wearable it's just 48mm same as moon watch pro-1861. I think an additional important spec is the height of the watch(bezel length or diameter) because this measurement can reflect the feeling when you look at the watch. The new omega chronoscope has to protrude case design from 3 to 9 o'clock so the case is 43mm when you measure it from 2 to 8 o'clock but it's not actually a 43mm watch. Because the bezel is about 40.8mm. So the one who can wear moon watch can also wear this watch easily.
Excellent video as always! Wow so many great combinations. Tend to agree with you that the silver may be the best looking but really liking that bronze gold as well. The dark hands and indices of the silver dial seem to make it the most legible of the lot and that bracelet is a beauty! I get the tachymeter, the pulsometer and the time/distance rings. But isn't there another one on the very inside? What does that do?
Thanks for your feedback! Good question! The innermost, 2-ringed, scales are an addition to the tachymeter on the bezel, which are able to measure speeds starting from either 20 or 30 km/h
@@WatchAdvisor Sorry I got my terminology wrong. I meant to say, why did Omega change the Speedmaster Pro from a Column Wheel to Cam Lever Chronograph when they moved from the famous 321 to 861, yet they use a Column wheel in this newer 9908 movement?
@@WatchAdvisor I have the chance to buy one online, unfortunately, can’t try it. My wrist is 16.5cm and deciding between the silver face one with blue strap or moon watch hecalite.
Hey, I tried on the silver dial on the bracelet a few days ago in an omega boutique in Taiwan and I have a similar wrist size to you. Usually I go for smaller watches like the BB58 (with only 39mm diameter) and so I was shocked how awesome this big 43mm watch felt on my wrist! I guess it has to do with that very wearable lug to lug of just 48mm and the decent thickness. Obviously it would be perfect to try it on first, but otherwise I think what also can help is measure your wrist size from the top view. Because 16.5 can have a different form, beeing more round or flat or whatever. So when you watch from the top on your wrist I have an 55mm wrist, and then the 48mm lug to lug wears really well cause you still have enough space for the watch not to overhang. I hope this helps. Maybe I really just need to buy the silver dial for myself, since I can not getting it out of my mind ❤
@@Eliehbk It is impossible to know what you like and to tell you what you shall wear... Buying online also means you can send the watch back in a certain timeframe if you don't like it... Try it!
@@WatchAdvisor the earlier model of the Seamaster Professional, the new model of the seamaster professional, the latest James Bond watch and especially the GMT seamaster with the beautiful relief image of the globe. And the broad hand speedmaster. Oh dear, I see an expensive pattern emerging!
Great video my friend.. I think that the Panda dial is going to be the next hot ticket.. you can't get at AD's the Daytona, Snoopy, Tudor Panda, Zenith Chronomaster Sport Panda plus that stupid wait list.. for me this new Chronoscope Panda on the bracelet code name "COKE ZERO" will be 🔥🔥🔥.. better buy now before it's too late.. 😃👍
The most beautiful Speedmaster on the market now. I'd buy it tomorrow if it were an automatic, eg. had the 9900 caliber. I have a Speedmaster Professional, and you tire of all the hand winding eventually. High end watches are very much about loving the mechanics inside them, and automatics just make more sense from a logical perspective. A brilliant, mechanical, self-winding mechanism has been invented, so it should be utilized.
Well that’s right and wrong! Thanks for sharing! Let me add my point of view: not having an automatic calibre makes the watch for sure thinner and this is what Omega wanted… winding a watch is something very sensual and intimate I think, so why not doing on a regular base. You should try to see this as something emotional and not rational...
@@WatchAdvisor I appreciate that some feel like that, but I don't. A mechanical watch without an automatic movement is deliberate, mechanical imperfection to me. An extra millimetre doesn't matter much in terms of thickness, and I have never stopped wishing I'd bought an automatic Speedmaster.
I think the manual winding adds to the nostalgia of this piece. It makes you feel like you're taken back to a simpler time. For someone who enjoys all the nuances of the actual watches that went to space it being manual is a deal breaker and must have. Very similar to how most enthusiast prefer the hesalite crystal even though it may not be practical. If you're into cars it would be like the rack and pinion steering of a vintage 911 vs the current computerized steering.
Great video as always! I'm a huge fan of this watch - the silver dial is my favorite. I like that Omega brought together the vintage-inspired dial with the modern case. There seems to be some critique that they "don't go together". This is perhaps true if the collector's bias is anchored to the vintage stylings of the originals as "correct", "better", or simply a preferred design. However, as someone who doesn't particularly care for, or about vintage watches, I love the combo. The 43mm size makes the dial more legible and the lug-to-lug size still makes it very wearable for average to larger wrists. Plus, I think these will look even better on different straps than those presented in the video.
This is the first atypical Speedmaster not being linked to moon/space/NASA ... It is the beginning of a new era of the Speedmaster chronographs sold in the classic case. The new vintage inspired design will need some time to get accepted by a broader public. You quickly understood where Omega is heading to ... Bravo! I do fully agree that the choice of straps shown in the video is only a guess how cool the chronographs could look ... there are many, many options in fact ... everybody should be able to find his Chronoscope...
@@WatchAdvisor Oh my, thank you, I completely missed that! could not listen while at work. I feel a little embarassed now!!! EDIT: 48mm is awesome, it should be completely wearable even for some feminine wrists like mine. Should look great on a NATO strap (NATO straps make the watch look a little smaller compared to the wrist in my experience) Thank you so much the video was amazing!
Panda dial looks stunning with the strap. Recently acquired the speedy 3861 sapphire sandwich and love it. Wish my bracelet had the Adjustable clasp.. Great feature. The movement on the new speedy is gorgeous..
Thanks for your feedback and congratulations to your Speedmaster. It may always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours! The adjustable clasp will be available also for the 3861 Speedmaster soon... You will also be able to exchange it I suppose...
Very nice presentation with a lot of information. 43mm are perfect for reading the dial and cause of the reduced thickness it really is wearable for most wrists. I love the blue dial and the silver one, love the movement. I hope they bring down the thickness and diameter of the 300m diver seamaster chronograph, when that happens I will have 2 omegas with chronograph movement. Oh and some say that no one uses the functions of the chronograph, well I am some one who does and they are very welcomed indeed.
@@WatchAdvisor I use the pulsometer a lot. Other than that when I travel I use the right counter for a second time zone and I have a think timing operations or when I ride my motorcycle I check the distance traveled in said time. I always keep a digital counter as well to check the accuracy but so far I am happy with the precision.
the blue bezel and silver dial is no doubt. a beauty. the rest are great too. thanks for review this brand new chronoscope..all my curiousity are satisfied.
Good video Alexander...the dial is not me, but looking forward to seeing this fantastic new movement on other Speedy references with a date complication......wished you asked Omega, why only 2.5mm in the quick adjustment clasp, that is too small, should've been 5mm. In addition, would be great if Omega incorporates quick release springbars to the bracelets and straps to take advantage of the strap monster the Speedy is....
Thank you! I asked them... the 2,3 mm are in fact enough to get some air in-between your wrist and watch ... This is a land used watch and not a diver ... There will also be a solution coming to quick exchange the bracelets and straps...
Love your show! never disappoints and you're always the first to come out with detailed information, Thank you. You answer all the questions i had about the new clasp. I recently just called the Swatch Group to find out if the new clasp would be released on the speedmaster moon watch thanks for asking him. 😊
Thank you very much for sharing Alexander and Gregory. The silver dial version would be my personal pick of the bunch without doubt purely due to the readability of not only the time but the chronoscope timing as well. The introduction of a manual wind version of the 9900 caliber used in the Seamaster chronograph (and others) makes sense as without the rotor is a slimmer movement and is well proven. The dual hand minute and hour counter is good but not perfect. I have older and the current Seamaster Chronographs (old one no waves with the 7753 based movement) where my old one is easier to read the minute counter with all chronograph hands lumed, my current ceramic dial version (cal 9900) generation with shared pinion hour and minute is great but takes a little extra effort to read but this is a minor point. It will be interesting if or when Omega release the moonwatch with this new micro adjust bracelet so I'll be keeping a close watch (pun intended) on new releases. Thanks again.
Anthony, thanks again for sharing our passion! Interesting read as always… Omega will soon release the micro adjustment for other models … Greg said it in the video… It was long overdue … and they know it… this clasp should have been released with the new 3861 Speedmaster already… pretty simple but necessary manufacturing issues didn’t make it happen though
The Chronoscope is one of my favorite of Omega's current offerings. I didn't notice the striped second hand on the white/red model until I watched this video and I've stared at their respective websites often. That somehow made it more desirable for me but I would change the strap. The value of the bronze gold model is fairly high to me. I never considered any manner of gold watch to be attainable until that one. One day!
Really enoyed the video, great format. They're all lovely but silver dial with blue strap probably my favourite, followed by the blue dial on the bracelet.
He is! 😎 Please watch more videos on our channel to see him again and again... And please do not forget to subscribe to our channel, so you will never miss the next Heisenberg episode... 😜 What about the new Speedmaster? Do you like it?
Lume is pointless. Pull out your phone bro. We're not buying these watches for their "features". If you want features get an apple watch. You'll get more "lume" than you've ever wanted.
Thanks for the detailed video! I've always been an Omega fan but love silver dial. I picked up the silver dial with blue version with the leather strap but also got the stainless bracelet to interchange. Love the watch so far, understated but beautiful and an instant classic. Loved hearing the inspiration firsthand in your video.
@@WatchAdvisor it's a personal thing, I just like to see as much components move as possible on a chronograph movement caseback. Otherwise this looks nice as well, nicely finished and it reminded me of the back of the JLC Master Grande Tradition.
I am not sure if you would want to see this chronograph calibre "naked" ... It was not designed to be beautiful, but efficient and reliable... IMHO it was a good idea to cover the mechanism under a three-quarter main plate ...
But as a brand you probably don't want to show pure industrial design when artistic design is expected... Lovers of chronographs would be disappointed for sure... the 9900 and derivates are industrial designed calibres and to be compared in terms of architecture/design with the ones from e.g. A. Lange & Söhne ... the latter are for sure very beautiful but compared to the 9900 from Omega not reliable at all...
The design has noting to do with Breitling though! In this case it is based on historic Omega chronographs... many brands built such chronographs in the past ... the design belongs to no one ... is part of the history of Swiss watchmaking ...
Poor you! "Covid Gulag" ... a never ending story as it seems... I am happy to be able to deliver the news via videos to your house... Once you are able to discover all these watches in real, please share lots of thoughts with us...
@@WatchAdvisor I have a Sedna Seamaster diver. I keep switching between the Aqua Terra and the Constellation. Never really thought about the Speedmaster but this one is beautiful!
The silver one for me 👌🏼 the gold one is stunning too 👌🏼 I’m waiting for the comfort release to make it’s way too the moon watch version. I like the way Omega are going. I hope they change the Seamaster in the same way as the Speedmaster. Slimmer and back to a 41 case with a tapered bracelet. And leave the AR coating off the outside of the crystal please 🙏
The silver one also for me! It is the first atypical Speedmaster ... you quickly understood where Omega is heading to with it ... others will need more time though ... I disagree with the AR coating on the outside! The latter gives the watch a particular look, since you get the feeling that there is no sapphire crystal / glass ... Yes, but tastes are different ...
@@WatchAdvisor Yes the AR on the outside of the crystal on the Seamaster makes it look like it’s not even there but it’s a tool watch and the coating marks too easily. I have one and as much as I like it I will never buy a watch again with a AR coating on the outside of the crystal.
@@WatchAdvisor not really even the same bracelet though. I don’t see how they couldn’t just shrink it down. It’s already not even close to the original. A quick adjust would have been fun. Just my opinion
@@WatchAdvisor Omega should just use the bracelet from this new version on all Professional Speedmaster models. it's 100% obvious. The representative from Omega in the video says "yes, it is possible to be coming on other Speedmaster in the future". So i don't know why you write in the comments that it is not possible. Watch your own video.
Great video as always. Personal take - not sure the classic dial suits such a large case and would maybe look more appealing on a more modestly proportioned watch. Plus the case back,whilst attractive,is too closed for my liking and would have liked to see more of the movement. Another nice watch from Omega but nothing to pull me away from the regular speedy or a dark side.
I thought the same in the first minutes when I saw the watches in Milan the first time… but the longer I “played around” with them the more I liked this new Speedmaster… you should asap see them in real… you will then probably like the Chronoscope as I did and do now …
Very handsome watch ! I think it’s a missed opportunity by putting in a detuned cal 9300 rather than the new 3861 . A neo vintage piece like this would have really benefitted from a slimmer case profile, plus I think the movement architecture is more romantic and visually pleasing on the 3861
@@WatchAdvisor The dial doesn't make sense in a Speedmaster. It would have looked better if they used the case of the 'Seamaster 1948' and made a chrono out of that. Not everything needs to be a Speedmaster. Next one Speedmaster diver?
Thx for your great review video!! Anyway It's looking a bit busy dials of Chronoscope but silver bezel is stunnable on the wrist, It's great! it's look cool and a bit vintage style in the same time. it's be better on blue or white nato strap.
Piet, thank you for the kind feedback! Yes, I agree worn with a NATO or fabric strap the Chronoscope would definitely look cooler ... I mentioned that before already several times ...
i have to say, the white dial chronoscope and the ck2998 pulsometer are the most beautiful speedmasters for me. i wish they made this in 40mm (small wrist problems).
@@WatchAdvisor I do like it and the dial i growing on me. I would pick the silver dial with silver sub-dials. It is more subtle and just plain gorgeous.
In terms of design, for me this new dial does not combine well with the Speedy case. I think they should have made this project from 0. Stepping away from the Speedy case and creating a new Chronoscope line. Still, respect to Omega for the finishing and the effort.
They could have used the DeVille line, as with the previous Chronoscope at 3:44. The dial is similar to the Breitling Premier B09, which is in a case rather like that of the DeVille Hour Vision, so it could have worked well. Whatever the case is, putting the tachymeter outside the dial was the wrong choice for this watch.
@@WatchAdvisor Of course everyone has an opinion, but I'm a designer and from my experience and point of view - there are design decisions in this watch that doesn't not work. Usually it work like this: complex dial - simplified bezel and case / complex shapes on the bezel and case - minimal dial.
Hallo Alexander. Klasse Revue. Wir beide haben den gleichen Geschmack. Wird wahrscheinlich meine nächste Uhr. Auf alle Fälle mit Stahlband. Mal sehen, wie sich die Lieferzeit entwickelt. Finde 2,3 mm Extension allerdings sehr wenig. Lieben Gruß Wolper

Which is your favorite Chronoscope? Bracelet or strap?
@@WatchAdvisor love the new speedy bracelet.
Are the Omega's bracelets Swiss Made?
Most likely yes. Simply a question of capacity … if not Swiss… for sure made in Europe and not in Asia…
Thank you Alexander for sharing your videos are great. Lug to lug is very wearable it's just 48mm same as moon watch pro-1861. I think an additional important spec is the height of the watch(bezel length or diameter) because this measurement can reflect the feeling when you look at the watch. The new omega chronoscope has to protrude case design from 3 to 9 o'clock so the case is 43mm when you measure it from 2 to 8 o'clock but it's not actually a 43mm watch. Because the bezel is about 40.8mm. So the one who can wear moon watch can also wear this watch easily.
Very interesting remarks! Thanks for sharing!!!
Excellent video as always! Wow so many great combinations. Tend to agree with you that the silver may be the best looking but really liking that bronze gold as well. The dark hands and indices of the silver dial seem to make it the most legible of the lot and that bracelet is a beauty! I get the tachymeter, the pulsometer and the time/distance rings. But isn't there another one on the very inside? What does that do?
Thanks for your feedback! Good question! The innermost, 2-ringed, scales are an addition to the tachymeter on the bezel, which are able to measure speeds starting from either 20 or 30 km/h
Why does the movement in the watch include a crown wheel but it was omitted from the 3861?
Can you please specify? I don’t understand what you mean…
@@WatchAdvisor Sorry I got my terminology wrong. I meant to say, why did Omega change the Speedmaster Pro from a Column Wheel to Cam Lever Chronograph when they moved from the famous 321 to 861, yet they use a Column wheel in this newer 9908 movement?
@@falcon81701 Simple reason: at the time being a “simpler” cam controlled chronograph was much easier to manufacture that a column-wheel one…
Can possibly run a second time zone on the sub dial?
Yes! Absolutely possible… you just need to know when starting the chronograph for your desired second zone-time…
Very informative and quality content ❤

On the omega website the hands look blue on the one with the silver/white face. Are they actually blue, or only on the omega advertisement photos?
Watch the video at 24:25 where I use the black pointer… You can clearly see bey the color difference that the hands are blue…
Bravo Alexander. Thank you for this interesting video!
You are welcome! Any thoughts about the watches? Which one is your favorite?
Nice bronze. I am curios how it going to patina.
Do you own the watch? If yes please keep us posted…
Hi again, I am addicted to your channel :) what would you say is the smallest wrist size to wear the watch on a strap without looking ridiculous?
Try it again and again and let your heart decide... it won't lie!
@@WatchAdvisor I have the chance to buy one online, unfortunately, can’t try it. My wrist is 16.5cm and deciding between the silver face one with blue strap or moon watch hecalite.
Hey, I tried on the silver dial on the bracelet a few days ago in an omega boutique in Taiwan and I have a similar wrist size to you. Usually I go for smaller watches like the BB58 (with only 39mm diameter) and so I was shocked how awesome this big 43mm watch felt on my wrist! I guess it has to do with that very wearable lug to lug of just 48mm and the decent thickness.
Obviously it would be perfect to try it on first, but otherwise I think what also can help is measure your wrist size from the top view. Because 16.5 can have a different form, beeing more round or flat or whatever. So when you watch from the top on your wrist I have an 55mm wrist, and then the 48mm lug to lug wears really well cause you still have enough space for the watch not to overhang.
I hope this helps.
Maybe I really just need to buy the silver dial for myself, since I can not getting it out of my mind ❤
@@Eliehbk It is impossible to know what you like and to tell you what you shall wear... Buying online also means you can send the watch back in a certain timeframe if you don't like it... Try it!

Great video my friend.. I think that the Panda dial is going to be the next hot ticket.. you can't get at AD's the Daytona, Snoopy, Tudor Panda, Zenith Chronomaster Sport Panda plus that stupid wait list.. for me this new Chronoscope Panda on the bracelet code name "COKE ZERO" will be 🔥🔥🔥.. better buy now before it's too late.. 😃👍
"COKE ZERO" I love it! Thanks for sharing your passion with us!!!
Thanks for the awesome review! I like the silver dial most!
Thanks for your kind feedback! Silver dial? YES! Same here...
The most beautiful Speedmaster on the market now. I'd buy it tomorrow if it were an automatic, eg. had the 9900 caliber. I have a Speedmaster Professional, and you tire of all the hand winding eventually. High end watches are very much about loving the mechanics inside them, and automatics just make more sense from a logical perspective. A brilliant, mechanical, self-winding mechanism has been invented, so it should be utilized.
Well that’s right and wrong! Thanks for sharing! Let me add my point of view: not having an automatic calibre makes the watch for sure thinner and this is what Omega wanted… winding a watch is something very sensual and intimate I think, so why not doing on a regular base. You should try to see this as something emotional and not rational...
@@WatchAdvisor I appreciate that some feel like that, but I don't. A mechanical watch without an automatic movement is deliberate, mechanical imperfection to me. An extra millimetre doesn't matter much in terms of thickness, and I have never stopped wishing I'd bought an automatic Speedmaster.
I think the manual winding adds to the nostalgia of this piece. It makes you feel like you're taken back to a simpler time. For someone who enjoys all the nuances of the actual watches that went to space it being manual is a deal breaker and must have. Very similar to how most enthusiast prefer the hesalite crystal even though it may not be practical. If you're into cars it would be like the rack and pinion steering of a vintage 911 vs the current computerized steering.
I just love the telemeter addition, wish there more options. Such a cool piece of history
Telemeter, Pulsometer, Tachymeter, ... they are all part of the history of the mechanical chronograph...
@@WatchAdvisor yes, I know. Was just stating I love the idea of the telemeter…
Great video as always! I'm a huge fan of this watch - the silver dial is my favorite. I like that Omega brought together the vintage-inspired dial with the modern case. There seems to be some critique that they "don't go together". This is perhaps true if the collector's bias is anchored to the vintage stylings of the originals as "correct", "better", or simply a preferred design. However, as someone who doesn't particularly care for, or about vintage watches, I love the combo. The 43mm size makes the dial more legible and the lug-to-lug size still makes it very wearable for average to larger wrists. Plus, I think these will look even better on different straps than those presented in the video.
This is the first atypical Speedmaster not being linked to moon/space/NASA ... It is the beginning of a new era of the Speedmaster chronographs sold in the classic case. The new vintage inspired design will need some time to get accepted by a broader public. You quickly understood where Omega is heading to ... Bravo! I do fully agree that the choice of straps shown in the video is only a guess how cool the chronographs could look ... there are many, many options in fact ... everybody should be able to find his Chronoscope...
Hmmm do I get the blue one or wait for a green one?
Green could in fact be next, as well as salmon and some other colors linked to the history of the wrist-chronograph...
The blue bezel / silver dial is the most beautiful Speedmaster I've ever seen.
What's its "Lug to lug" measure though?
I mention it in the video… start 7:10 …
@@WatchAdvisor Oh my, thank you, I completely missed that! could not listen while at work. I feel a little embarassed now!!!
EDIT: 48mm is awesome, it should be completely wearable even for some feminine wrists like mine.
Should look great on a NATO strap (NATO straps make the watch look a little smaller compared to the wrist in my experience)
Thank you so much the video was amazing!
No worries! No worries! You are welcome ... Let me know if you have any other questions...
I am weak in allergies, can i wear this watch?
You should - yes! But for you the best case/bracelet material though is titanium Grade 23 (= Titanium Grade 5 ELI)
Panda dial looks stunning with the strap. Recently acquired the speedy 3861 sapphire sandwich and love it. Wish my bracelet had the Adjustable clasp.. Great feature. The movement on the new speedy is gorgeous..
Thanks for your feedback and congratulations to your Speedmaster. It may always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours! The adjustable clasp will be available also for the 3861 Speedmaster soon... You will also be able to exchange it I suppose...
Very nice presentation with a lot of information. 43mm are perfect for reading the dial and cause of the reduced thickness it really is wearable for most wrists. I love the blue dial and the silver one, love the movement. I hope they bring down the thickness and diameter of the 300m diver seamaster chronograph, when that happens I will have 2 omegas with chronograph movement. Oh and some say that no one uses the functions of the chronograph, well I am some one who does and they are very welcomed indeed.
Thanks for sharing our passion and your thoughts with us! May I ask what you are timing with you chronograph?
@@WatchAdvisor I use the pulsometer a lot. Other than that when I travel I use the right counter for a second time zone and I have a think timing operations or when I ride my motorcycle I check the distance traveled in said time. I always keep a digital counter as well to check the accuracy but so far I am happy with the precision.
Thanks for specifying! Not many are aware that you can use that counter as a second zone-time indication though… very smart!
Will this be the new case size for all two counter Speedmasters?
If they are hand wound it could - yes!
@@WatchAdvisor no I think that would be a step back.. I want the automatic movement! Ok if it's a little thicker than this watch
the blue bezel and silver dial is no doubt. a beauty. the rest are great too. thanks for review this brand new chronoscope..all my curiousity are satisfied.
I am happy to read this! Thanks for your feedback!
Good video Alexander...the dial is not me, but looking forward to seeing this fantastic new movement on other Speedy references with a date complication......wished you asked Omega, why only 2.5mm in the quick adjustment clasp, that is too small, should've been 5mm. In addition, would be great if Omega incorporates quick release springbars to the bracelets and straps to take advantage of the strap monster the Speedy is....
Thank you! I asked them... the 2,3 mm are in fact enough to get some air in-between your wrist and watch ... This is a land used watch and not a diver ... There will also be a solution coming to quick exchange the bracelets and straps...
Love your show! never disappoints and you're always the first to come out with detailed information, Thank you. You answer all the questions i had about the new clasp. I recently just called the Swatch Group to find out if the new clasp would be released on the speedmaster moon watch thanks for asking him. 😊

@@WatchAdvisor the blue dial ... With steel 🔥
Great presentation as always. Another watch now to consider 🙂
OMG 😱 I apologize… 😆🤣 protect your wallet!!!
Love the 9900 series movements and in less than 13mm is fantastic. Manual wind too. Very eager to see these in person.
Please share some thought with us once you saw/tired them in real ....
I would love the 3861 movement in there it’s so much better to look at, Wish the winding gear was visible.
That’s a different type of Speedmaster… the 3861 is reserved for the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch…
Thank you very much for sharing Alexander and Gregory. The silver dial version would be my personal pick of the bunch without doubt purely due to the readability of not only the time but the chronoscope timing as well. The introduction of a manual wind version of the 9900 caliber used in the Seamaster chronograph (and others) makes sense as without the rotor is a slimmer movement and is well proven. The dual hand minute and hour counter is good but not perfect. I have older and the current Seamaster Chronographs (old one no waves with the 7753 based movement) where my old one is easier to read the minute counter with all chronograph hands lumed, my current ceramic dial version (cal 9900) generation with shared pinion hour and minute is great but takes a little extra effort to read but this is a minor point. It will be interesting if or when Omega release the moonwatch with this new micro adjust bracelet so I'll be keeping a close watch (pun intended) on new releases. Thanks again.
Anthony, thanks again for sharing our passion! Interesting read as always… Omega will soon release the micro adjustment for other models … Greg said it in the video… It was long overdue … and they know it… this clasp should have been released with the new 3861 Speedmaster already… pretty simple but necessary manufacturing issues didn’t make it happen though
Great review Alexander. I think my favorites are the silver dial with blue bezel and the solid gold with ceramic bezel.
Thanks 🙏🏻 This is not solid gold… It is a bronze-gold alloy!!!
The only one you can actually read easily is the white/silver dial.
The Chronoscope is one of my favorite of Omega's current offerings. I didn't notice the striped second hand on the white/red model until I watched this video and I've stared at their respective websites often. That somehow made it more desirable for me but I would change the strap. The value of the bronze gold model is fairly high to me. I never considered any manner of gold watch to be attainable until that one. One day!
Thanks for sharing! Let me know if you have any questions....
Ohhh you got me - great visuals and an equally impressive timepiece on show today
Well, I am very happy to read this! Thank you! 😉 Which one is your favorite?
Really enoyed the video, great format. They're all lovely but silver dial with blue strap probably my favourite, followed by the blue dial on the bracelet.

Stunning watches. I like them all but prefer the silver dial. Now if I just had some money laying around...
Silver? Good choice!!! Bravo! I keep my fingers crossed that your dream will come true very soon ...
Would be sick to open up the whole movement.
We see quite often three quarter main-plates in watches… so what would be the purpose?
@@WatchAdvisor it's a personal thing, I just like to see as much components move as possible on a chronograph movement caseback. Otherwise this looks nice as well, nicely finished and it reminded me of the back of the JLC Master Grande Tradition.
I am not sure if you would want to see this chronograph calibre "naked" ... It was not designed to be beautiful, but efficient and reliable... IMHO it was a good idea to cover the mechanism under a three-quarter main plate ...
@@WatchAdvisor At the end of the day I think it's a matter of preference. Nothing wrong with either.
But as a brand you probably don't want to show pure industrial design when artistic design is expected... Lovers of chronographs would be disappointed for sure... the 9900 and derivates are industrial designed calibres and to be compared in terms of architecture/design with the ones from e.g. A. Lange & Söhne ... the latter are for sure very beautiful but compared to the 9900 from Omega not reliable at all...
These have a little bit of Breitling Premier feel. Can't decide which i like better! Panda I think.
The design has noting to do with Breitling though! In this case it is based on historic Omega chronographs... many brands built such chronographs in the past ... the design belongs to no one ... is part of the history of Swiss watchmaking ...

Omega's killing it. Every time I think I've landed on my next one I change my mind. These are seriously compelling.
He he!! Which were the other models you had an eye on?
@@WatchAdvisor I have a Sedna Seamaster diver. I keep switching between the Aqua Terra and the Constellation. Never really thought about the Speedmaster but this one is beautiful!
You have to wait now until you are able to compare all three… Which of the new Speedmaster is you favorite?
You are so right. I am in the same boat.
Soon we'll see people with wrist clocks. Awesome job. Keep making it bigger. 😅
43 mm is not huge!!! Today that’s a normal size…
The silver one for me 👌🏼 the gold one is stunning too 👌🏼 I’m waiting for the comfort release to make it’s way too the moon watch version. I like the way Omega are going. I hope they change the Seamaster in the same way as the Speedmaster. Slimmer and back to a 41 case with a tapered bracelet. And leave the AR coating off the outside of the crystal please 🙏
The silver one also for me! It is the first atypical Speedmaster ... you quickly understood where Omega is heading to with it ... others will need more time though ... I disagree with the AR coating on the outside! The latter gives the watch a particular look, since you get the feeling that there is no sapphire crystal / glass ... Yes, but tastes are different ...
@@WatchAdvisor Yes the AR on the outside of the crystal on the Seamaster makes it look like it’s not even there but it’s a tool watch and the coating marks too easily. I have one and as much as I like it I will never buy a watch again with a AR coating on the outside of the crystal.
@@leeharding8306 I understand what you mean, this is also why Rolex doesn’t apply any AR-coating on its watches on the outside…
I’m kind of disappointed the 3861 doesn’t have the quick adjust bracelet like this one
Omega wanted to keep that bracelet 1:1 original = as thin as it was… impossible to integrate though…
@@WatchAdvisor not really even the same bracelet though. I don’t see how they couldn’t just shrink it down. It’s already not even close to the original. A quick adjust would have been fun. Just my opinion
I don’t see a way how to integrate a micro length adjustment in the clasp… any possible/existing solution needs space … adds up size and thickness…
@@WatchAdvisor Omega should just use the bracelet from this new version on all Professional Speedmaster models. it's 100% obvious. The representative from Omega in the video says "yes, it is possible to be coming on other Speedmaster in the future". So i don't know why you write in the comments that it is not possible. Watch your own video.
Epic piece, as expected from Omega, no issues at all, just money talks...
Thanks for sharing our passion!
Great video as always. Personal take - not sure the classic dial suits such a large case and would maybe look more appealing on a more modestly proportioned watch. Plus the case back,whilst attractive,is too closed for my liking and would have liked to see more of the movement. Another nice watch from Omega but nothing to pull me away from the regular speedy or a dark side.
I thought the same in the first minutes when I saw the watches in Milan the first time… but the longer I “played around” with them the more I liked this new Speedmaster… you should asap see them in real… you will then probably like the Chronoscope as I did and do now …
Is the metal clasp on the chronoscope with bracelet compatible with the bracelet on the new speedmaster moon watch 3861?
Greg said it in the vide... for this bracelet a clasp is in the pipeline ...
Very handsome watch ! I think it’s a missed opportunity by putting in a detuned cal 9300 rather than the new 3861 . A neo vintage piece like this would have really benefitted from a slimmer case profile, plus I think the movement architecture is more romantic and visually pleasing on the 3861
The goal was to build a contemporary, vintage inspired new Speedmaster that on top features a slim case ... which seems to have worked...
@@WatchAdvisor The dial doesn't make sense in a Speedmaster. It would have looked better if they used the case of the 'Seamaster 1948' and made a chrono out of that. Not everything needs to be a Speedmaster. Next one Speedmaster diver?

My pleasure! Do you like the new Chronoscope chronographs? Which one is your favorite?
@@WatchAdvisor I do like it and the dial i growing on me. I would pick the silver dial with silver sub-dials. It is more subtle and just plain gorgeous.
Silver? Perfect! Also my choice! 😉 Thanks for sharing ...
Blue dial immediately caught my attention, but the bronze gold won out in the end.
That's what I would call being spoilt for choice ... 😜
In terms of design, for me this new dial does not combine well with the Speedy case. I think they should have made this project from 0. Stepping away from the Speedy case and creating a new Chronoscope line.
Still, respect to Omega for the finishing and the effort.
This is the first atypical Speedmaster… it will as always take some time until the new design is accepted…
@@WatchAdvisor Still the dial is too busy. I don’t think it will become less messy with time.
They could have used the DeVille line, as with the previous Chronoscope at 3:44. The dial is similar to the Breitling Premier B09, which is in a case rather like that of the DeVille Hour Vision, so it could have worked well.
Whatever the case is, putting the tachymeter outside the dial was the wrong choice for this watch.
@@WatchAdvisor Of course everyone has an opinion, but I'm a designer and from my experience and point of view - there are design decisions in this watch that doesn't not work. Usually it work like this: complex dial - simplified bezel and case / complex shapes on the bezel and case - minimal dial.
