If your wrist can handle the Omega size and thickness, and a diver style is what your looking for, then the PO is a great choice.

The Bremont is a more pilot style and will wear smaller. Unless you've ejected in a Martin Baker ejection seat, the MB I will not be available, MB II is the option - nice piece.

Good luck with your decision.

I'd go with the Omega, although I'd get it with a bracelet. Since it's a titanium model, why not go all the way with it? That said, Omega does a really nice job with their rubber straps. Either way, the Liquidmetal POs are very nice pieces, and the newer models have in-house movements. The PO you're considering is a bit big for me, personally, but if I could wear it, I would. Nothing against the Bremont, but I just think the Omega is nicer all the way around - as long as you're OK with the size.

It all depends on what feels "right" on your wrist. I own two Bremonts and absolutely love them. I have owned the Omega PO 45.5 and loved it but IMHO the Bremont is superior.

Based on what criteria? Not challenging you - just genuinely curious.
