Agree with this, the Omega out of the two but I wouldn't buy it due to the shape of the case.

I think the face of the Tudor is beautiful in pictures, but it looked a little flat and one dimensional in person. The omega however looks awesome in person. So much more depth to the dial and the lume is great. Omega for me.

For me, it would be Omega everyday. Have never really got hooked by Tudor.

I have to agree on the Tudor dial being flat and it's what keeps me going back to the Omega.

I agree with Sergio. I prefer the Omega dial by a country mile; I don't like the vintage shape (never been into vintage Omega's) but the dial is awesome.

I like the Tudor when it first came out but, when I tried it on, I thought it was cheap. Plus the dial is very empty above and below the subdials. Clearly the Omega for me.

Tudor is a well put together watch, they have great craftsmanship. I'm on the hunt for one now

After finally getting a chance to handle the Heritage Chrono tonight, my decision is made up. I really liked the Heritage Chrono more. I have no timetable to get the watch, but the size and feel of the Tudor just felt better to me.
