I purchased my first Omega last year, a 38mm Speedmaster. I am now trying to decide between a 42mm Diver 300m or the Worldtimer. I am convinced the 300m will fit based on lots of videos and other watches I own, but tend to think the Worldtimer would be too big for me. Nearest dealer to try on is hours away from me.
Anyone know of any pictures online showing the two side by side? Or anyone have both who could post a picture side by side? Thanks!

The WT is better larger so you can read the cities. It wears smaller than a regular diver of the same size. It is a great watch.

Thanks! It looks like a great watch and I really want it, but for the size worry.

You should be able to go to the Omega Boutique or AD to try it on first.

Yes of course. But as I mentioned nearest location I could try them on is hours away.

42mm vs 43mm - lug to lug measurements are only .5mm variance ... not much difference. The watches how ever are completely different styles. I would go with the one you like best.

The WT is also thicker. Have read many articles/watched videos where comments are made about how big it is. I have not seen similar comments made about the Diver 300M

good point. My daily wear is the Diver300M so I am biased

Compared to the 38mm Speedmaster the Worldtimer will feel huge. If you like the size of your Speedmaster, then I think you'll prefer the thickness and diameter of the 300m.

Thanks! I like the Speedmaster. I also very much like a couple 40 mm watches I have, and a 42mm watch I have that is really closer to 42.5.
