The left subdial colouring makes the right subdial look a bit like a big eye without being one at a glance, which is clever.

·14.7mm thick? That watch needs to be 13.5 at most
The Professional Speedmaster with the PIC that starts with 311 is about 14mm. The newest version with the PIC that starts with 310 trimmed a few tenths off that but was still in the 13's. The 3570's were 14mm. The FOIS are 14mm.

·When was the last time Omega produced a Speedmaster that thin?

310.30.42.50.01.001, the SS 3861, is 13.2mm. The hesalite 3861 is 13.6mm.
The prior gen SS (1863 movement) is 13.5mm.
The current 321 is 13.7mm and the current FOIS is 13.4mm. The '57 is 12.9mm.
There are many speedmasters that fall between 13 and 13 and-a-half mm roughly; but it is important to keep in mind that none of them have

·Omega has been crushing it with the Speedmaster line this year. Even if every watch isn't your cup of tea, there's enough variety for everyone to find something cool or unique.
For this Flightmaster, definitely like the dial as it's something different and visually interesting. Might be a touch on the thick side but need to see it on the wrist before making that call. Would I pick this up as my first Speedie for a daily driver, no. Would I consider it for my fifth one, yes.

·Maybe I am missing your point but surely it is only a GMT feature if you set the chronograph running at exactly the right time and leave it running constantly. Not very practical and removes the watches main complication from use. Other than the colour scheme which is debatably more visible, I can't see that this release has anything more to offer a pilot than any other Speedmaster.
Yeah, I slashed that text through because I read that it has a time zone function but I haven't really researched the watch enough to know how it works. This watch does also have a date function, something the Speedmaster professional does not, if it also has some sort of a time zone function it makes sense that it would be a bit thicker (to me). It also has slightly more water resistance than a standard speedy (which is nice, but doesn't make a lot of sense to me as a pilot's watch)
I do understand why some people think that this case is a bit too thick; I think as long as Omega can stick in the mid 13 range with their raised crystals thickness is fine.
Is this also an automatic?

·I think the time zone function refers to the jumping hour hand, the SM300 has the time zone function listed under features as well.
And yes it is automatic.

·@Fickle thank you for correcting my misunderstanding. So, it has a date function and is automatic, those two things make sense for a bit of added thickness.

·Makes sense yes. Like the 8500 family (which this movement is I believe ultimately based on) and some of the quartz movements. Good for travel but not a GMT function as such.

·Well not really. The 3313 movement Broad Arrow Speedies were auto with date at an all up thickness of the same 13.5mm as the Moonwatch. The fact remains the 9300/9900 is a bit of a fatty. The 8500s too in fact.
Feel like we have discussed this before, and I agree and acknowledge that the 33XX series is thinner, for what reason is Omega no longer using it or not as often?
