In 1957, Omega introduced three watches for professional use: the Railmaster for scientists and engineers, the Seamaster 300 for divers and the Speedmaster for sports, race car drivers and engineers as well. Now, 60 years later, Omega felt the time was right to bring hommage to these watches. Let us introduce you to the 60th […]

Thanks for bringing this to us early this morning Robert!

 

Best Basel release I can remember.

 

Down to the BOX!!!!

 

Now to find three wrists and 20,000 francs!

These look amazing and i love the sizing

 

Agreed, they got the sizes right.

 

somebody tag me when the apollo 17 gets shown....

I love these for what they are, but feel no need to own any of them...

Good news for my ST, and Apollo 17 plans...

 

wow... as planned, and looking spot-on!

 

Just posted a thread with the Time+Tide video showing the Apollo 17 @Superdoc.

the speedmaster looks lovely, cant wait to see it in the flesh

 

I wonder how my spare 1599xxxx serial 321 movement would look in that Speedmaster

 

I'm with you there, Doc. I have made no secret of hoping for something special from Omega in 2017, since I'm of 1957 vintage myself. But...I don't think I could ever buy a new watch with faux patina -- it just rubs me the wrong way.

That Railmaster though...that would be the most tempting of the three...

 

so..anyone about to jump off of his Speedytuesday order? Would appreciate that big time, crawling up the waiting list

 

If I had not purchased the new Explorer last year, the Railmaster would be a target. I appreciate everything that Omega has launched so far and the direction RA has taken.

 

I am on the waitlist for the Speedy Tuesday. I was really hoping one of these would make me not care about the Speedy Tuesday. I definitely like these new releases, but I think I ma going to hang in there and wait to see if my number is called.

 

I agree. I also don't like that its aesthetically the same as the original. That's kinda wrong in my opinion. It should have something unique.

It's really nice and I really really like the size. But a 100% re-edition is a bit disingenuous to those who own the original (not me - I wish). Wish they made it the same but with unique subdials or bezel. Something that says its a different watch.

But it is lovely. I will have to think about this because I was so excited about the size!

and this is not gonna change SpeedyTuesday owners one bit imo... not that I think it ever was going to.

 

What are the chances that the new SM300 bezel will fit the originals? Slim to none?

 

Three very nice looking watches. I wonder if they will do a limited numbered set of three.
