First Omega...thinking it should be FOIS
I've been lurking forever in admiration of the Speedmaster, but I prefer the needle chrono hand and I just love the '57 and love the FOIS. I'm ready to visit an AD, any tips on what to look for / ask the SA? I am new to Omega, collection is all Rolex

FOIS is an excellent choice. Try it on, and if you think it's right then I'm confident you'll dig it
![]() If you can, take time to wind up the movement on the actual watch you purchase; for some reason, some Speedmasters have excessive resistance in the crown when winding/setting the watch, and it's a drag if you get one like that. The FOIS case is without crown guards, which makes it easier to operate, but I still recommend trying the feel on the watch you'll take home. |

As a Speedy Pro owner, who is in the process of trading it in for a FOIS, I think FOIS is an excellent choice. I love the Pro, but I think the FOIS wears better on my wrist.

FOIS is the king of the Speedmasters.
