Nice. I can't believe it but my vote has to go to the Apollo Soyuz... ...as my favorite panda dial Speedmaster.
As the platona is the only Daytona I lust after, and seen a meteorite Daytona... I love the speediorite... But the Platona owns my heart.
I sold my Speediorite, as I could not get over the sapphire crystal. Had they (Omega) made it with a hesalite crystal, in my opinion it would have been the best ever LE speedmaster. The sapphire crystal provided a slight haze to the dial and I could never get over it.
I love the look of the Daytona but I have never liked the brown/ice blue combination. I would vote for the Speedy
I was surprised at how much better the Platona looked in person vs photos. I tried one on at Ben Bridge 3 years ago. PS: the AT in the photo was mine. They don’t sell Omega.
I honestly have not been that impressed with the platinum Daytona when I've tried it on. I like the aesthetics of the Daytona in general but the brown/blue did nothing for me. If we're talking platinum watches, the Omega Speedy got my motor revving when I had the opportunity to try it on. It is amazing in the metal!
Truly apples and oranges. But it's clear to me owning both that the the 116506/Platona wins by a wide margin here. And that's coming from a Speedy lover.
