Best chrono ever?

Here is my one and only Omega...imho, the best chronograph to tell elapsed time and funnest to play with - ever!

Btw, the sapphire glass is also the clearest, least reflective I have ever encountered.

I know the watch may not look as 'balanced' as the traditional speedies; but once you get used to the new chrono you will not miss the balanced 3 counter dial. In fact, the placement of the 9300 chrono is perfect for quick readings. And pushing the chrono buttons is sheer pleasure...did I already mention that

The watch is large, but not top heavy and pretty well balanced.

The sapphire back and see thru movement is awesome as well.

I like this watch so much I'm now after a 9300 chrono diver in blue liquid metal with titanium bracelet - I hope to find the right one soon!

Highly recommend this watch!

Here is mine. Had it a couple months now and I love it! 6.5" Wrist and It works fine for me. Love the big date, and the movement is fantastic.

Congrats, love that movement as well. Nice AP!

Im curious to see if Rolex will modify their 3 counter chrono when(if) they change their daytona?

Love the bicompax layout of the dial. It gives it such a clean look even with a date function.

Gorgeous watch. I had a hard time choosing between it and the POC 9300. I preferred the look and fit of the Speedy, but in the end wanted the water resistance.
