Speedmaster Super Racing

[BlackTails]

Anyone have any hands-on (on hands?) experience of these? I’m not really had any Omegas on my radar before and don’t know a lot about them. The Super Racing is though to my eyes a fine looking thing.

I tried one on last year, it's a fantastic looking watch, the yellow is more subtle than the photo's show.
The bracelet is really nice, it tapers to 18mm and has a nice slim clasp which is really comfortable and helps the watch to wear smaller than it is.
That said, I prefer the chunkier bracelet and 20mm clasp on my regular Speedy Racing, it gives the watch a nice heft and suits it better imo.

I prefer these two dial ones to the regular speedy.

Yep I have one. Really nice watch and funnily enough looking to sell mine just to get numbers down.

Looking at the pics of the four watches, it looks like the Super Racing has more “slack” between the links (so that there would be more bend in the bracelet if you were to hold it upright, horizontally - that’s not very well explained but I hope it makes sense).

I wonder whether that actually makes a difference IRL. I my watches snug and tight on my wrist and not moving like a bangle.

That went exceptionally well. Nothing like going through the stages of idle interest-question-itch-scratch-done in record time!

Hasn't the Super Racing been the first model to get the new calibre that is adjusted by changing the tension on the main spring ensuring greater accuracy?

If so I think it could become a bit of a historic collectors watch as Omega slowly change over to this type of movement.

Glad to have been an enabler Greg.
