Re : Omega New Chronoscope?

Curious to know what is the opinions on this? My eyes are drawn in particular to the Bronze Gold version



Here's a youtube video preview of the new watches

I dig it a bunch. New, modern, hand-wound caliber; no date display; nice proportions. I agree with you on the bronze-gold version. This one is tempting to me!

I do like it in both the SS and Gold. I will probably be a buyer for the SS and wait a bit on the Gold to watch the prices and availability.

I look forward to see one irl. The bronze gold in that watchadvisor youtube video almost pass like real 18K Rose Gold. With the added advantage ( I was told ) of scratch resistance. Adding to the appeal is that its a manual winding chronograph although for some reasons, Omega choose to cover everything with a large base plate.

I think its a great looking watch! Quite curious to see how it wears with the 43mm, but reduced thickness. Prefer the blue dial, but need to see them in the flesh

I just watched the video. I didn’t realize it’s has a jumping hour adjustment especially while running the chrono. They look great and I look forward to checking them out.

Yeah, I agree. I hope the movement looks better in person than in photos.

Re : Omega New Chronoscope?

I like the Speedmaster Pro moon watch a million times more.

There are literally dozens of other watches I’d buy before any of these new chronoscopes.

Purchased mine today.

They only had the panda and the white/blue version and I picked panda. Only because it was a little more striking but the white/blue is also gorgeous.

It’s a beautiful watch with wonderful detail, including the two tone hand with the red part sweeping across the red lettering on the face.

It’s also the perfect size for me in a sport watch.

Whoa! Cool! I didn’t think these were going to be available for a couple more months. Someone is a VIP! Congrats!

I tried these on today

The blue looks great just not on the wrist so I rated it last

Silver dial with blue accents was easiest to read and really nice

My fav was the panda tho

They didn’t have the bronze gold yet but that’s the one I’m gonna get in the end

They are all really nice and in today’s world a great value and you can actually walk in and buy one !

I hesitated quoting this pic again, but dang, what a watch! This would be my first choice of these.

Wondering if the clasp of the chronoscope fits on the 3861 bracelet?

Re : Omega New Chronoscope?




Got to see them all today and I have to say I had no real interest in it until I tried it on. 43mm sounds beefy, but it wears better than a regular Speedmaster if you ask me.

I have to say the panda was the winner in my eyes, but I am not sure I’d jump on this and certainly not without seeing the Bronze gold. The Bronze gold looks fabulous.

Love the bronze gold but unlikely I'd actually wear it...have my eye on the panda I think ...like the blue but may be too close color wise to Snoopy (no I don't have one but some day when it hits my AD )
