Baselworld 2017 Watch Guide - Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary Limited Edition

Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary Limited Edition, a watch which should come as little surprise considering the online catalog of 60 Omega Speedmasters released on their website last week. Reissues of this iconic Speedy aren't anything new - take, for example, the Broad Arrow ref. 3594.50.00 released some years back which carried over the design style but was sized at 42mm. More replica Omega Speedmaster.

Omega Speedmaster is the model most widely known for the “Broad Arrow” hands, all three models will feature this style; a move that I am quite fond of. It’s a not-so-subtle vintage nod to already iconic timepieces, and I feel it gives an originality and character to a collection that tends to have the same look repeatedly in the spotlight.

Of course, the retro-styled Speedmaster '57 Vintage watch which took a lot of inspiration from the original but went in its own direction. Here, we see a more true-to-the-original reedition that carries over the 38.6mm case but, as previously mentioned, features the caliber 1861 movement (the original 1957 CK2915 featured the caliber 321 movement).
