Speedmaster? Seamaster? Both? Between these two icons, do you have a favorite that gets more wrist time? Why?
I have a Speedy Pro and an SMPc, but the latter gets more wrist time because I like having a date window and, as a sea kayaker, I need the increased water resistance.

 

Personally I like both, but the speedmaster edges it. This might be because my Seamaster was bought cheap and used as a beater, and I do hanker for the larger model. I guess my preference is based purely on aesthetics as I rarely use the extra functions on the speedy. My first speedmaster was the white reduced model, I’m properly addicted now.

 

Do you have a pic of the SMPc?

 

Just added to my post!

 

I have a FOIS but I think my collection will slowly move over to vintage seamasters. There is just something about vintage seamaster 321's.

 

Seamaster. With this line, you can get a diver, a chronometer dress watch (vintage), a 321 chronograph (vintage), and a GMT. Basically your all around four-piece collection.

 

Mix of three watches

Diver, Orienteering (field watch) and Speedmaster

 

Speedmaster. Sub is for getting wet.

 

Well, as there is such variety among particularly seamasters (120, 300, 300m, PP, 1000, SMdV, PO, AT, ...) I find it hard to (not) consider myself a Seamaster person. Compared to this, the Speedmaster aesthetic is much more consistent across the various models, which I all tend to like. As for the true divers, I tend to gravitate to other brands than Omega. Somehow the modern Omega divers (`300m and onwards) don't do it for me, aesthetically at least. The Helium escape crown on the 300m is a little awkward, I find. On the other hand: I really admire the engineering behind the co-axial movement in modern Seamasters.

So summing up this rambling reply: maybe I'm more of a Speedmaster guy, but I find it hard to dislike Seamasters

 

Maybe a mix of both

 

Two and two. I'm leaning in favour of the Seamaster though. have fun

You forgot the Railmaster?

I love every "...master" of OMEGA, but the Speedy is #1.

 

Mea culpa! I didn’t include the Globemaster either - and I have one and love it!

 

Seamaster. I keep trying on the Speedmaster almost every time I visit an AD or boutique, and it never looks right to me. It's one of those watches I love in photographs but not on the wrist. Now the Seamaster line ... I'm still loving my Planet Ocean, and recently tried a Seamaster 300M in blue. I think I figured what I'll be buying next. That watch looked amazing.

 

Seamaster for shure no disappointment

 

A Speedmaster at first, but warming up to the sea masters as well.

 

In the mid-90s, I did some after-hours work at my workplace and was rewarded with $2000. It was between the Speedmaster and the Seamaster, in this case the Speedmaster 57 Replica and the Seamaster Professional 2254.50.

Eventually, I chose the Speedmaster. Over the years, I changed the bezel and hands to the modern style, and then to alpha hands.

Fast forward 20 years, bought a WatchCo Seamaster 300. Then traded the Speedmaster to my watchmaker (who restored to original) and bought the Seamaster Professional 2254.50 that I should have bought to begin with.

Both, altough currently have more Seamasters than Speedmasters

 

The Speedmaster made me fall in love with Omega....Seamaster does nothing for me!
