Re: Seamaster or Speedmaster?
In Response To: Seamaster or Speedmaster? ()

I was having trouble making the very same decision about 3 years ago before finally settling on the Seamaster Pro, my first and only Omega so far (other than my wife's Constellation I bought her this year).

I decided on the Seamaster because I intended to wear it daily, which is exactly what I have done for 3 years now. I wear it everywhere, including bed, and take it off only to shower or do anything especially dirty/dangerous, like yard work or the like.

As a daily wearer, I felt the Seamaster would stand up better, as it is a bit more rugged in construction, for instance, the protected crown.

I still intend to get a Speedmaster Pro someday as a secondary watch. Manual wind, non-sapphire crystal, and display back will make the Speedmaster a great watch to wear only when I know I won't be banging it around. The Seamster will always remain my "beater." By the way, it is a great watch and I would recommend it to anyone.

Good luck with your perchase.
