I like this particular Speedmaster. It appears to be less cluttered than most of the collection. I am wondering about that cordura strap, and its endurance for a everyday use watch.

Just got one 4 days ago. Was looking at the Aqua Racer chrono and this caught my eye. The size is just right for office and sport. It is about 2 seconds a day slow so far but I will give it a month or so of everyday use and see how it averages out.
As near as I can tell the Calibre 3304 version is the 7753 Valjoux chronograph movement.

I'm usually not a fan of the Speedmaster series but this is not too shabby.

Well, not my favourite speedmaster variant, but quite nice nonetheless. Trade the red flashes for orange and I'd be further interested.
The choice of movements is nice: turn the 7750 model 90 degrees counter-clockwise and it really reminds me of the old seiko/citizen bullhead chronographs, which is certainly not a bad thing.

Dial looks OK, but hands... hmm... not sure I dig them since I want good visibility.

Ariel -- are you not digging all Speedmasters or just Speedmasters Professional? Speedy Pro with meteorite dial is very nice, IMHO (except the price -- $8,400 MSRP, $6-7K online).

How about calling it a Panda rather then aYemen?

I am not sure if Yemenis will go for it, but I'm guessing UGA fans will.

I have this watch with the cordura strap. I have small wrists so the 40mm size is perfect, although I agree that 42mm would be ideal. I´m very happy with the watch, love the 3, 6, 9 subregister configuration and timekeeping is excellent. Also, can be had with a nice discount at certain ADs.

First thing I thought was "Paul Newman". There is actually more similarities with the Rolex than not. Interesting that we don't reserve the kind of venom for Omega for imitating a Rolex design such as we do for, say, more affordable brands imitating popular styles (Invicta, Parnis, Steinhart, and the dozens of reuptable brands with Sub imitations).

Still, this is a gorgeous watch and for someone without the wherewithal to obtain a PN, this is a perfect alternative. I have yet to own an Omega and would have a hard time deciding between this, an SMP, or a PO.

The cordura strap is fantastic too!
