Eh, I say the Deep Black. You may get bored of the Speedy.

What does your collection look like? Is this your only watch?

Between those choices, I'd keep the Navi. But if that wasn't good a possibility, I'd go for the Speedy.

Had many Speedies, currently down to just one, but the Navi01 stands tall among chronographs in my book. Superb movement, the right case thickness, and detail in the dial is outstanding. That said, the Speedy Pro is also one of my favorites.

I would also keep the Navi, it's a classic. Of the two Omegas you have to go speedmaster, you already have two divers.

The Speedy has an awfully busy dial, but IMO it is much cleaner and more balanced than your Navitimer.

My love for the Deep Black is well documented, but in this case you need a chrono to go with your two divers. I love the Breitling, I would keep it and add a Speedy. However, if that is not an option then Speedmaster it is.

Omega has beautiful watches BUT get rid of that Navi for either choices you list? Never! That is a beautiful classic.

I'm a little bored of the Navitimer and also the 30m water resistant annoys me. I had the watch for two years and weared it like 10 times...

I'd keep the Navitimer

The Speedy Moonphase won't exactly be great in the water, either. If that's an important criterion then go get that Deep Black! |

Speedy moonphase. I would get one myself if it was smaller. It's too big for my wrist.
