Omega Speedmaster 57 Co-Axial Chronograph

Omega has released three really striking watches this year, the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, The Bullhead and this one the Omega Speedmaster 57. They are all excellent releases that I would have trouble deciding would be my favourite.So with this model, as you ve probably guessed, they have drawn inspiration from their original and first Speedmaster design from 1957. When most people think of the Speedmaster they think moonwatch but the Speedmaster was in cartier roadster replica production for over 10 years before it made a name for itself in space, and its this period and design codes that this vintage styled watch draws from.

There have over the past few years been a few Omega Speedmasters recalling the 1957 version. There is the currently still in production Broad Arrow 1957 which has a silver dial and uses the 3313 caliber co-axial hublot big bang king replica movement, and then back in 2007 they released two Speedmaster 1957 50th Anniversary models featuring different movements.

A notable exception are the hands which Omega decided http://www.hmmauto.com/tag-heuer-grand-carrera-replica-australia-for-sale.html would not be the same distinctive broad arrow hands used on the Speedmasters from 1957-1959. Instead for the handset there are more slender but nevertheless quite readable ones that fit with the overall design of the dial nicely. Both the main hands and somewhat unusually the chronograph hands are lumed.We have with this model recalling Omega s first iconic model a nice addition to the already extensive range of Speedmasters versions. Its offered in a very amenable size with a terrific co-axial movement housed inside, and comes in a huge array of options for case and dial combinations.

The Omega Seamaster is an automatic winding chronometer (also available in quartz) first introduced by Omega in 1948 and is arguably the closest competitor to the much admired Rolex Submariner. The Seamaster comes in many variations but typically will have a stainless steel case and bracelet, screw-in crown and caseback. Starting price is around 3,500 Euros.
