Hello everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed this forum and have received much help over the years. Now I am looking for a few data points on a potential new purchase.

Although I own several Omegas, I do not have a Speedmaster. I am currently looking at a few online that have caught my attention: 3581.50 (or .30) and the 321.10.42.50.02.001. As you can see, I prefer the Broad Arrow Automatic.

Can anyone tell me what the thickness of the cases are?
Can anyone tell me what the weight of the watches are (with ss bracelet)?

Case size, Google and the Omega site links will tell you.

http://www.omegawatches.com/watches/speedmaster/broad-arrow/co-axial-gmt-chronograph/35813000/

3581's are 44.25 mm. Thickness and weights I have to imagine are standard for the 3000 series of movements.


The 321.10.42.50.02.001 just uses the standard moon watch case and is at 42mm. Dimension-ally it should be very close to a standard moonwatch.

I would vote for the 321 - so much cleaner. I think the GMT function on the 3581's makes it too busy. Adding the GMT to a chronograph is just one too many complications.

But if you like the 57 Broad Arrow - I would opt for the one of the new 9301 models. Those are beautiful.

kurtj29 thanks for your reply. I should have been more specific. I looked on the Omega site and easily found the case diameter. But not the case thickness. It should be around 14-17mm.
