Reminiscence Classic - Omega Speedmaster '57

In 1957, Omega launched the replica Omega Speedmaster series watch. After that, the Omega Speedmaster series gradually became popular and sought after by more and more watch friends. The reason is that it has a lot to do with its iconic design and reliability. The design of the Omega Speedmaster '57 watch clearly follows the many design elements of the 1957 chronograph, including the vertical lugs extending from the case, the minimalist dial and so on.

Omega Speedmaster '57 watch has a simple and concise design dial with two small dials at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, 3 o'clock for 12 hour, 60 minute counter, 9 o'clock The second small dial records the second hand run. This layout is more innovative than the design of three common small dials.

The 41.5 mm case features a black dial with a beige transfer scale inspired by its legendary prototype. The in-line hour markers are partially covered with a Super-LumiNova luminous coating that glows green. The innovative dial layout places the 12-hour and 60-minute chronograph hands in a small dial at 3 o'clock, making reading the accumulated time more convenient and intuitive. Polished arched rhodium-plated "wide arrow" central hour and minute hands, coated with Super-LumiNova luminous coating.
