A Trio Of Omega Watches Celebrate 60 Years
Three Omega watches for three specific uses were released in 1957?the Seamaster 300, Railmaster and Speedmaster. They immediately were a big hit and are now considered a classic within their product categories. The timeless popularity of these watches has led the Swiss luxury watch brand to introduce a 60-year anniversary edition of each model and a special ?trilogy? edition.
Omega employed digital scanning technology to create accurate representations of the original watches?including cross-sections and dimensions. This, along with drawings of the original models, served as design templates for the new watches, which were slightly revised but remain true to the 1957 models.
All three watches are cased in brushed and polished stainless steel and feature black ?tropical? dials. The stainless steel bracelets feature a retro-style Omega logo on the clasp. All of the logos on the watches are in a different style?a reference to how individual suppliers in the 1950’s interpreted the Omega logo. Each watch is limited to 3,557 pieces and delivered inside a presentation box inspired by the original 1957 packaging, including the Seahorse on the lid, a retro logo and red corduroy lining?with two spare straps?leather and NATO?and a tool to change them.
