·I 'm in the market for a new Omega and I was considering a Speedmaster 57 or FOIS. Can someone who was in this situation tell me what you ended up doing? I am truly split on this one.
Which would you choose Speedmaster 57 or FOIS

·FOIS because I like the case design, size and movement. Not a fan of two dial chronographs. But don't have either.

··Seamasters ForeverWell, are you the kind of person that is into both two register and three register chronos? Seems a lot of people aren't, and which one you prefer may be the biggest reason to settle on one or the other.
The 57 is just a hair larger and has fantastic colored dials- if I were just deciding between the black 57 and The FOIS I'd probably go FOIS- but if color is a consideration the blue and red 57s are very nice (so is the green, but there are other greens I prefer more)

·FOIS between these two, but they're pretty different so what do you want out of your Speedmaster.

·Did you consider the trilogy, there's one in the FS section, imho the best of both worlds.

·I think it would depend on what else was in my collection, to be honest. Both have their pros, but overall I'd go with FOIS.

·I would go with the FOIS, mostly because I feel a Speedmaster should not have a date wheel

·OF the two, I'd go FOIS, since I am absolutely a 3-subdial guy (and the 2subdials just look awful to me).
The dial on the FOIS is quite pretty when you look at it close. That said, I was between the FOIS and the White speedy and ended up with the white one. Now that I have a Ed-White, every time I see the FOIS in the case, it looks like a 'lesser' version of the Ed-White.
So my feedback: Get the Ed White instead 😁

A clear answer if ever there was one 😂
But it's true- I can't see myself wearing a 57 over some of the other options Omega produces.

·I guess I’m a 2 register chrono guy… I actually sold my 3861 Speedmaster and replaced it with a 57, it just has more wrist presence, so for me it would be the 57. Best advice is to try both and you’ll know soon enough. And a pic of my 57 as all threads need a pic or 2.

·57 is a beautiful watch but consider it has long flat lugs.

·There's truth in that. Although almost twice the price it could well be worth saving up for the Ed White rather than getting a couple of $8-10k Speedmasters. I have nine Speedmasters in the collection and the Ed White would be the last to go. Something to think about.
