A Classic
A watch for the collector who prizes the ideosyncratic.
Omega has created a quirky day/date automatic (a big deal in the watch world) that isn't the price of an automobile. All automatics are a little less exact than quartz as far as timekeeping goes, but my speedmaster only gains about two minutes per month, and since I like using it, I don't mind re-setting it from time to time.
The actual user manual is on-line, very specific and clear about the controls.
But if you have no fascination with the art of watchmaking and the "complications" of authentic, quality Swiss watchwork, go with a quartz; it's less "work"...

Omega speedmaster Chronograph
Overall I am pleased with this watch It is obviously well-made and the quality of the fabrication is apparent. However it does not keep time as accurately as less expensive quartz watches I have owned. My biggest reservation is the documentation that comes with it. It includes a booklet from Omega that describes the operation of many different watches and is keyed to the model number of the watch and schematics of each model For one of the functions of my watch it gives instructions to use a button that isn't even present on my particular watch. So the assembly and proofreading, as well as accessiblity, of the instructions, leaves something to be desired. I think this watch will give years of good service and wear, but I expected more for this level of price.
