Zenith A385 or new Omega Speedmaster?
The first two chronograph releases of 2021 are absolutely superb, particularly for those like me with a smaller wrist. I'm going to buy one of these 2 but can't make up my mind which one. Keen to hear some views from the community...

The new Moonwatch is a home run. No contest.

The Zenith would be the one for me. I do like the colors and the style. I am not sure on the Speedy right now and would give the prices a chance to settle.

You’ll likely be able to get a discount on the zenith before the omega if that’s a factor to you. I like them both but I would go with the a385 if you have a smaller wrist

not really fan of the retro/revival design of zenith but the movement is unparalleled

I like them both, you need to add both of them.
The question is which one you go first Good luck and try them first see which one warms you better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Funny enough I’ve been reading up on both of these, think of the two I’d go with the zenith

love the zenith. it does wear on the smaller side in my opinion. when i tried it on my wife said it looks like a womans watch. i still think it's awesome, i do prefer the standard panda version.

Interesting that there's an overwhelming preference for the zenith. I wouldn't have picked it.
FWIW, Tim Mosso from Watchbox said on his YouTube video today that he would take the A384 / A385 over the new speedy anyday. I'm still undecided between the two but tending towards the zenith. I think it's the more interesting watch and likely to hold my attention longer than the speedy. Sent from my SM-G980F using Tapatalk |

Would go for Omega. Classic design that won't get outdated

Hmmm. Omega. No Zenith..
Actually, Omega. But you know what, Zenith. I really like Speedmaster though. Zenith and Omega. |

I'm a big fan of the Omega brand, love my Planet Ocean, but never could get warm and fuzzy over the Speedmaster. I'm not that in to chronographs but of the two, I like the Zenith
