Speedmaster Racing - Thoughts?

So I stumbled upon this new iteration of the classic Speedy the other day while window shopping and had absolutely no clue what it was!

After a bit of reading I am somewhat intrigued by this offering from Omega. What are your thoughts?

Have to admit I'm very tempted by the Red and Blue dialed versions!

I was a fan of the range when they were unveiled at Basel last year. Great looking watches. And I have to say, I really, really like the red dialed version too

Nice. Like some of the older ones in the series. There is one with a checkered flag pattern at the 6 subdial that is very cool.

White face is pretty smart. But the yellow not so much

Man is that a beautiful speedy! In my opinion, these look even better than the classic manual speedys.

The black and yellow dial looked cool, it caught my attention at Basel. I think the recessed pusher for the date would bug me, though
