2 x Incoming and Question

I purchased 2 new Breitlings; Chronomat B01 42 ice blue dial and Classic Avi Chronograph 42 Mosquito. My son will receive the Avi to commemorate an achievement in his life later this year. However, I am still deciding whether to keep the Chronomat or trade it for Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.

What I like about Chronomat:
- the light blue sunburst dial is absolutely amazing, even better in person than on any pics
- the 200M water resistance
- the platinum bezel and its shine
- the tachymeter scale on dial
- the darker blue chronograph second hand with indices on dial (hour divided in 100)
- the date which hides at 6 o'clock sub-dial
- the rubber bracelet with deploying buckle
- 70 hrs power reserve automatic movement visible through sapphire

What I like about Moonwatch:
- the story/history
- the monochrome colors and its wearability
- the countless strap exchange options (the new Omega steel bracelet); I would likely wear it on NATO for some time
- the movement visible on the back
- the size

While I have 4 other Breitlings, I do not own Omega.

Would you keep the Chronomat or would you get the Moonwatch?
