The base movement, similar to the one used on the 3 hand model is a great platform, accurate and reliable. The chrono complication, not so much.
If you're considering on getting one, make sure the dealer offers a warranty or a freshly serviced piece. The maintenance service - if performed by Omega - costs exactly the same as for the Speedy Pro, which is not exactly cheap.
One sample is not representative, but I had to mention my personal experience with this watch.
To be honest, I like the aesthetics of the chrono more than the functionality. I just don't have that many things to time. I'd like to think that a chronograph function that isn't used wouldn't break terribly often.
Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Rhubarb is directly behind the pot you see actually, in a flower bed thing.
No idea what the red shrub is mate - was here when I bought the place.

2 pooches mate - that one is Terence. The other is jess. Same breed, very different characters.
Wife works from home mostly so this isn't a massive change for them. They've been an absolute godsend this lockdown - such a joy to have around.

From the colour, it looks a bit like an acer. Not the right shape, maybe.

You called, definitely. Much too small for me. It's one I just get to look at and admire, unfortunately.

A handsome pair. That's good, so they won't be completely bereft when you go back to work. We'd love to have a dog again, but where we live right now it's not practical. At some point we'll move, and a place where Mrs. Cor can have a dog will be a prerequisite...
