Help Me Choose an Omega Speedmaster

Hello

I’m trying to find a sub 40mm Omega speed master, stainlesss steel on bracelet that is actually waterproof.

Does one exist; if so where should I look?

Also, if it needs to be bigger than 40 (42) what would be the thinnest version out there?

I’m open to new, used, etc and budget is not an issue.

Thanks!!

- All speedmasters are water resistant to 50m and you should feel comfortable using it as such (no watch is water PROOF). Just don’t use the pushers under water.
- 40mm = 39.7mm = Ed white or FOIS

There's also Speedmaster reduced.

The new speedy is under 40 mm across aluminum bezel.

My CK 2998 blue is same size as FOIS at 39mm. Fits great for my 7 inch wrist and a picture here to compare vs 42mm Speedy Tuesday. I bought the bracelet separately as it came on a strap only. All Speedmasters are probably ok to take a shower with but if you are diving into a pool, I would wear something else.

That CK 2998 looks stunning on the bracelet. Thanks for sharing.

Don’t go in a pool with a speedmaster OP. You will bang a chrono pusher and then you are in trouble. Been there, done it, dealt with the fall out.
