New new Speedmaster '57 questions

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for explaining - appreciate it! So the GMT is still the best bet. I travel quite a bit and it would be nice to glance at my wrist to see different time zones vs phone and watch combo.

You can use the two hand chrono as a second time zone if you start it at said time zone’s 12:00 and leave it running.

Would that damage the mechanism running continuously?

No damage but would run the power reserve down a little quicker.

That's a bit fragile considering you only have one precise time per day to set this. Not sure this is going to satisfy the GMT needs of a frequent traveler, but points for creativity I suppose

I agree it’s not ideal but can be done, and you have 2 chances per day to set.

Actually, you have four opportunities, depending on which time you want for the big hand.

I really like this watch in blue, no one around here has one (in any color) and I'd hate to spend $9000-ish on a watch that I never tried on. I have tiny wrists, and the lug-to-lug is a bit large.

The green dial has been available on Omegas website for about a week now, so tempting.

I might have to move a few lesser worn pieces to add this one to the collection.

Have to agree Eric, I REALLY like the look of the green dial

Just looked and it appears it's not available right now. Saved myself 8k today

Tried on the green on strap this past weekend. It was unexpectedly attractive. The dark green was almost black until the light catches it at the right angle. The bezel is gave it a much different look than ceramic. It felt more dressy then I thought with that configuration but on bracelet could definitely make it an all arounder.

The burgundy 57 and BLRO on oyster are the two watches at the top of my want list right now.
