I think I might be hyped. But I think #2 would be the one for me if I chose one. But damn both amazing releases from Robert Jan. Good stuff. Congrats on rocking both Fred.

Both beautiful, but I’m not a fan of the brushed case, gotta vote for ST2

I go OG for panda and all brushed. This one is all business. I also like what i see with UM. Both are in order but I went for a 6am bike ride after getting a cryptic email from Omega. It should have just said -the link is going active In 5 minutes. Instead I shrugged my shoulders and rode 25 miles pre work.

I like both and I do like the extra brushed parts on the ST1 but I would opt for the ST2 because red is my favorite color and it brings a fun, racy, sporting touch to the Speedmaster. It's also more different from the standard version, in my opinion.

Both fantastic,
#2 for the traditional white hands, and sundials. I also prefer the better contrast.

reading several sites, blogs, IG, and all the others .. the ULTRAMAN seems to be one of the most beautiful and most hot speedmasters ever made.
I like it a lot and would definitely choose the ST2

Love them both. Probably prefer the 2nd one, if I had to choose.

I agree buddy Seth. Both are must have for an Omega collection and so uniquely beautiful in their own ways. The poll so far is reflecting the same view.

They are so close, and I'm lucky enough to have both (My ST2 lands next week). On specs alone, I think the Ultraman just takes this one. Stepped dial, DON bezel, the orange and racing elements make it probably my favorite modern Speedmaster. I'll have a better idea when I can compare them both side-to-side.

This kind of reminds me of the 116500 white vs black debate. The STII is sleek, slick, and looks great BUT the ST is near perfect and the clear winner of the two! Just like the white is for the Daytonas.

Agreed again. ST2 is lovely, but long term the reverse panda nails it.

Tough choice for these two pieces. But fortunately for some, you won't have to choose since both are relatively affordable and would fit nicely in any collection.

Same here, ST2 is a nice watch but the orange hand kills it for me.
