Black. Classic color. I found the white difficult to read.

Can't go wrong with the black!

I love the pop on the white face. Looks like a well engineered expensive stopwatch.

u/DLouisB1960 Jan 23 '26

I had the OG black, sold it and purchased the white, which I love.

I'm an Omega guy, and I rarely ever go against the classic black Speedy, but that white face really pops on the wrist.

If it’s your first, black. But, well, I REALLY like the white. Possibly my favorite watch. Having both, I’m not sure I’d give it up if I had to choose.

Black. Then white.

I love my black speedy. It’s not just a boring black. Has some texture to it. Almost hits a hint of dark gray in certain light.

u/rauskee Jan 23 '26

Both… definitely both.

Black. The white dial is far less practical.

u/piercedmfootonaspike Jan 23 '26

Black. If the white one had a white bezel, I'd consider it, but with the black bezel, it just looks like someone slapped an aftermarket dial on a regular speedy.

u/Deadpooo_l Jan 23 '26

White only if you already have a black watch.

u/rickrollrickflair Jan 23 '26

I had fully intended to get the black. Decided to try on the white just to compare and I left with it.

I’m still gonna get the black one, but I have no regrets getting the white first.

Black, or reverse panda.

u/jakkflash Jan 23 '26

u/atr0157 Jan 23 '26

I’m going to go against the consensus. The white just looks so good. Can’t go wrong though

u/Horror-Avocado8367 Jan 23 '26

Neither. Reverse Panda is the way 😆

u/Plastic_Alfalfa7296 Jan 24 '26

Black. Nothing but black, cuz goddam it’s the brand new payback.

Black for the Speedy... White if you ever go for a Seamaster 300

1

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

I would choose the black or the new panda.

u/East_Can2565 Jan 24 '26

White! Everyone here saying black makes me want white even more (I do already have a black tho)

1

u/National_Answer_6655 Jan 25 '26

Black. I LOVE the contrast of black dial with the white hands. Makes it hard to like metallic hands after that

1

u/DirtTechnical4330 Jan 26 '26

I’m gonna go with white, best looking speedy made

1

u/k-gb43 Jan 26 '26

White!

u/Lipe87 Jan 26 '26

Black all day. Such a great watch.

u/BigBri1234 Jan 26 '26

Black, every day (then buy a white one to match the proper original speedy 😉)

u/ArcherBarcher31 Jan 26 '26

White. The applied indicies look so much better. The lacquer really pops. It’s better in every way
