Which Chronoscope combination do you prefer?

Curious to hear of the various dial and bracelet/strap combinations which one you prefer? I go back and forth between the bronze/gold on strap and the silver/silver on bracelet but they all have their own charm.

What's your favorite?


Bronze-Gold


Blue on bracelet


Blue on strap


Silver on bracelet

I tried these on yesterday.

For me its:

1. Bronze
2. Panda
3. Silver/blue
4. Blue/silver sub dials

Feels great on the wrist and a cool vibe...they are a winner especially at that price

Panda, but I think I like this on the strap more personally.

I voted for the bronze/gold, but would really have liked to see it on a bracelet!

Panda on bracelet! 100%.

It will be my next Omega. Early next year, after I can see it in person.

Silver and blue. I like the font color continuity and color scheme better vs all the colored subdial versions.

The lugs are longer than the end links. So it looks weird on smaller wrists - the tips of the lugs will stick out. Overall stunning watches in person. Comfortable to wear. Silver on blue strap is best - similar dial finish to Snoopy 3. If you have a small wrist, do not purchase the bracelet version without trying it on first.

White dial blue hands.
The bronze looks very nice but I’m a sucker for those blue hands integrated in the white dial

Both are nice, but the bronze/gold is the one calling me.

Went to check it out today at the AD. Ended up getting it.

Pictures don’t capture it well. Fantastic in person.

Fight off between the bronze gold and the panda red, but had to vote for the bronze gold - exquisite piece!

Got to try these on today. Like a lot of watches, they’re much better in person than in pics, in my opinion. They didn’t have the bronze gold, which is the one I think I’d like most, but these ones were very nice in person. I like the models that have contrast between the main dial and sub dials. The all gray model is nice, but the color combo is too close to the gray dial blue bezel Diver 300 that I already have.

Also, although the new bracelet with micro adjust clasp is nice, I’d definitely want this on leather.





A couple of bonus watches I tried on. The Bond Diver is really cool and incredibly light. The titanium mesh bracelet is really nice, but the overlap and clasp are noticeably thick.



This one is really tempting as well, and I’d love a ceramic watch. The SA said this one will be discontinued soon.



Next to the FOIS

I like the blue based on the look at the pictures, but would still want to see it real to say better.

I saw the silver dial with blue strap the other day and I was blown away. I will probably buy this watch on the bracelet and add the blue leather strap. It's close between it and the new Speedy Pro, but I'll go Chronoscope based on the ability to make fine adjustments on the bracelet.

I will add that the red and white seconds hand on the white dial with red accents is ridiculously cool too!

They're great in person and don't wear as large as I would have thought. l like them all and it really depends on what you're going for. I would personally purchase the silver version on a bracelet but I'd seriously consider putting it on a strap.

This is a big reason I voted for the silver. In pictures and at first glance, I originally gravitated toward the blue, the bronze, and the panda over the silver, but the more I looked at the pictures, the more I realized that the continuity of the silver (the only one where the tracks match) was the best. (I'm also a sucker for blued hands and numerals!) In person, this more considered impression was confirmed. Still, I don't believe there's a wrong choice here and I could honestly seeing someone picking up all four.

Just purchased the Silver and Blue on a bracelet and really like it. The watch wears great on my wrist and the bracelet is one of my favorites. I will give it some time and see if I like it enough to get the Silver and Black.
