That's a nice looking watch. If I ever got a Speedmaster, it would likely be this one.

Yeah it's sharp. Ceramic bezel ring, rhodium plated frames on the sub-dials, and applied indices. I guess that's what you get for an extra $1k.

The dial and sub-dials have a varnished and ultra-glossy lacquered finished and from what I have read, the dial is constructed of two plates. That also increases the premium over the "standard" watch.

What's the point of a tachymeter?

To measure speed. It's a Speedmaster.

You can measure how fast something is going. If you have a known distance you're watching a vehicle travel, such as a mile, the tachymeter tells you how many of them it will cover in an hour. Giving you miles per hour.

For most of us wearing these watches, it lets you measure your walking speed over the distance between your couch and your fridge to get another beer.

Comes in super useful if an oxygen tank explodes on your Apollo spacecraft and you have to manually burn the engines to get back to earth.

Well the AD I'd never been to just called me about two months later to say they have a blue ombre day date for me if I come in today. Would have waited if they hadn't made it sound so unlikely.

Bracelet looks darker in first pic probably due to background. Don't like it as much in second pic.

Looks better with darker bracelet.

I think the stock pic looks cooler because the black surfaces appear more of a matte finish versus the live pics which show more of a glossy finish.

Absolutely agree. That's my issue with it that I couldn't think of. If it's that glossy, then I'm out. Looks way better with a more matte finish.

It is 100% glossy. Omega went with an ultra-glossy varnished and lacquered finish for the dial on this watch.

I have a lacquered blue dial Speedy Pro titanium and the dial really pops. I think you may have to see one in person before you write us off.

Its a good looking watch for sure. The applied indices are excellent.

An applied indices black speedy pro would be THE watch for me.

Looks like Hamilton is featured in "Resident Evil Requiem," and they are going to release two limited-edition watches. I really like the American Classic Pan Europ. The Khaki Field Auto Chrono looks pretty cool, too.

I kind of dig that last watch even if it's the RE watch. Would never wear it if had anything RE on it though.

Hamilton has actually been in these games for quite a while. I only know this because I played RE4 last year and you wear a Hamilton Field watch in that game.

I really liked the Hamilton Far Cry watch. It's basically a tweeked khaki field
