Omega Speedmaster ’57 Chronograph Watch Review

Group of watches including remakes of three mixers initially arrived on the scene in 1957. Including a restricted edition Omega Seamaster, Railmaster, not to mention, Speedmaster - with every of individuals legendary Omega watch families getting debuted that year. The 60th anniversary limited-edition models are typically totally offered out - including this Omega reference 311.10.39.30.01.001 Speedmaster ’57 Chronograph 38.6mm. So, in an exceedingly real sense if you are looking at this watch, you’ll need to struggle a little to locate one although the limited-edition amount of 3,557 pieces isn’t everything small.

The issue I requested myself while reviewing 

The Speedmaster ’57 Chronograph “1957 Trilogy” watch is “would I favour this watch or even the original from 1957?” It's not the watches really are a one-to-one copy of each other but Omega did design this special edition “homage” in method in which most vintage re-release watches don’t get. Much more, although it isn’t the identical, for individuals who would like probably the most modern Speedmaster knowledge about the ’57 look there's the reference 331.10.42.51.01.002 Omega Speedmaster ’57 Co-Axial Chronograph 41.5mm watch that is another wise decision.

My personal favorite story relating to this Speedmaster 1957 Trilogy watch is when Omega made the situation. They basically did a 3D scan from the original Speedmaster watch according to pieces the company has in the Omega museum next door in the manufacture in Bienne. Omega was without original schematics in the 1950s so they have to base the development of the brand new cases around the original copies using this kind of modeling technology. Among the interesting things Omega stated they found was the truth that all the Omega logos around the watches were different. Actually, you will find five Omega logos around the watch and not one of them are the identical. The reason behind it is because within the 1950s there wasn’t a particular dimension spec for that emblem, and Omega used various suppliers to create its watch components. Thus, each supplier pretty much came the Greek omega letter emblem by themselves. This led to each one of the logos around the watch being a little bit various and Omega themselves apparently didn’t even realize this until they did the scan.

The various emblem sizes went to this 60th anniversary model

Which for me helps increase its character. Probably the most modern area of the watch may be the bracelet, including Omega’s welcome micro-adjust system within the deployant. Omega isn’t as much as Rolex yet within the steel bracelet department, however it certainly feels much more durable and well-made than original 1957 watch bracelets. This will be significant because when you purchase a “vintage re-issue” watch such as this in support of the particular (and clearly more nostalgic) original model, among the greatest reasons you need to do same with for durability and dependability. If you wish to alter the bracelet to some strap, you are able to - but note the non-standard strap width of 19mm.
