Breitling Navitimer vs Omega Speedmaster

I'm in two minds interested to see the concensus both very similarly priced watches.

My current collection:

- Grand Seiko White Birch Spring Drive (white dial, strap)

- Orient Star Mechanical Moonphase (Black dial, bracelet)

- Seiko Marinemaster 300 (Blue Dial, strap)

- Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage Titanium (blue dial, bracelet)

- Breitling Pluton Analogue digi (Black dial, bracelet)

If you think your collection will have more than one chrono, then Speedy. If you think that this will be the only chrono, then you have a real dilemma.

Speedy once and forever

If you don't care much about space, the Navitimer is a nicer looking watch.

There’s only one iconic chronograph and that’s the Speedmaster.

Now, I own one, but that being said, I tried them all on and did my research. It’s an amazing timepiece.

Comes down to preference. As @KristianG said, the Navitimer is a much better-looking watch than the Sapphire Sandwich, not to mention the Breitling bracelet is objectively better than the Omega. Note, I say that as an owner of the Sandwich, but I have no issues being honest about the shortcomings. The dial is nothing to write home about, the display case back is lovely, but you are buying the space heritage vs. flight. With the Breitling, you are less likely to run into another B01 owner than a Spacewatch, if that means anything.

The question is, do you have the wrist for a 43mm watch? These two will wear completely different. Do you prefer automatic or manual wind?

To the moon and back…

Only heard about it like 2 or 3 times. Can’t confirm it though.

Stop spreading lies, it went to Mars! Get your fact straight!

Anyway, as an Omega fanboi, Speedy, it's a really solid watch!

Omega should rename it the MarsWatch then…probably have it trademarked already. Elon’s probably got the prototypes in testing.
