The diver, because I don't need a chrono function (even though it's a classic)

Hard choice... For me personally, neither. But if I had to chose one it would be the speedy.

Speedy - most iconic Omega and really the only one worth talking about IMO. Its a nice size and more casual. I really don't need or want the chrono function, nor the added expense of servicing an Omega.

Seamaster - I hate the hour and minute hands, as well as the half ceramic bezel. The bracelet is too dressy for a sport watch and I don't need nor do I want a freaking helium escape valve... because I'm not a poser!

Unfortunantly Omega's sub-par fit is visible on the speedmaster. The bottom left lug, between the lug and the end link the springbar is visible due to a gap. You don't see stuff like that on a $300 Citizen so why is it on a watch with a price tag more than 10x more.

Speedy Pro is the way to go

The iconic history, looks and versatility do it for me.

SMP...the new ceramic bezel and glossy dial are amazing. Bracelet has been updated with screws and a new style clasp. It doesn't have the history of the Speedy Pro, but the SMP is a great watch and one of the best designs in the current line up IMHO.

EDIT:

Just looked at the OPs avator. If you already have a Sub, go with the Speedy. No need to have 2 divers that are similar.

I had a choice between the speedy and most other omegas. I took the speedy because it is a true icon. The other watch looks to much like many other watches IMHO

The Seamaster is better on your wrist. Right size and it has a modern look to it.
