If these were the only four green-dial options you could choose from, which one would you pick?
Omega Speedmaster ’57
Breitling Chronomat B01 Chronograph
Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar
Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date
Which one are you taking, and why?

Why are you comparing a PanomaticLunar which is a great watch with three chronographs?
Also the correct answer is the GO Seventies Chronograph.

PanoMaticLunar. The green dial is beautiful in person, and the whole watch is super nicely finished and relatively unique.

Both the that Speedy and that Glashütte 70’s are on my list to own. If I were only getting one though, Speedy.

Speedy or chronomat for me. I have the seventies and it's beautiful but it's a puck.
If you do decide to go seventies though try to grab a strap to go with it, it helps with a size immensely.

I think seventies look cool, but thickness of GO is an issue, speedy is manual, a bit thinner.... also I think its the best green color among all, issue is I have AT in blue and no Breitling or GO, didnt want to have two Omegas first, but its a solid watch

Ah yeah I feel you on wanting more variety. I'd go breitling in that case, but the previous gen chronomat looks nicer to me than the current gen. It's a bit thicker but the aesthetic is more balanced, and the dial is equally nice
I really like my seventies but if I could go back in time and buy a different watch instead I'd probably do that

I have a Breitling with the B01 movement, and it's awesome. If you plan to use the chronograph regularly, you can't go wrong there. But, the 70s, while a bit thicc, is such an incredible watch!
I also have a Tag Carrera Chrono that looks almost exactly like the Omega... so maybe don't go with the Omega? 🤔

Any issues with (anti) magnetism in B01? I am bot sure true, but read it may have some issues with magnetism, but chronomat is super sporty and cool specially that they added micro adjust to this bracelet

The PanoMatic Lunar is beautiful, but not a chrono, so kinda weird to put it in a comparison with the others. Of the remaining three, the GO is head and shoulders above the Omega and Breitling in terms of movement and finishing. It's also far more unique, with panorama date and wheel-based hours readout for the chronograph. But it's something like twice the price. Between the Omega and the Breitling, I'd take the Omega but I'd take the GO over all, cost no object.

Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar would be my pick but I’m looking for a watch with a moon phase complication.

Pano hits many things for me, I will have my first GO, green dial which I dont have and first moonphase ...

I had that same 57 and I very much regret letting it go! Super sick speedy!

u/saumvaun 7h ago edited 7h ago
How was the bracelet and micro adjust? Heard its about 2.3 mm micro adjust?

u/Business_Table5771 7h ago
I personally love the bracelet, plenty of room to adjust to whatever fits your preference!

Of these four, I’ve only seen the GO Panorama Date in person. The saleslady made me put it on and go outside to see it in the sunlit. Really spectacular but as with most premium watches I’d be terrified to wear it because I’m clumsy.

If we have to stick with green I’d go with the Speedy. I really do like the PanoMaticLunar in blue though. I love the date window. It reminds me of the Lange 1 which is outside of my price range.

The '57 imo. I like how subtle the green is in person, and I like that it's a manual wind.
The Seventies Chrono is a little too chonky.
The Breitling is a little lacking in finesse, especially the hands.
The PanoMaticLunar has too vibrant a green for my liking.

57 only has 2.3 mm micro adjust but imo best dial color My city doesnt have GO AD, can only rely on pics/videos, really wanted to see Pano's color in person

Either of the two Glashüttes thankyouverymuch. And since I'm not a chronograph guy and I have the Panomatic on my long term wish list, I'd go for that one

Seventies Chronograph. Outstanding watch. I have the blue and it far and away gets the most wrist time of my collection.
