OMEGA 1957 Trilogy Limited Editions – Railmaster, Seamaster 300, Speedmaster’57

Trouble is that in the early days after the Baselworld announcement, most of the watch media was using Omega supplied imagery. That said, Fratello had these two pictures on 23 Mar 17.

Watch located in Europe but only available to people outside Europe. That doesn't make much sense to me.

Thanks for your inspiration! Yeah, I really hope that I can give the to love the RM as it deserves as it is beautiful. As you have stated it is a no-frills genuinely great time piece, perhaps I built up such expectation that I was only going to be let down, we shall see? I'll swap the bracelet over to some straps and see how I go from there. I think that's what this piece needs - a nice vintage strap to set it off!

I also LOVE the 38mm case size which I think is PERFECT (at least for my wrist). What frustrated me about the previous AT version of the Railmaster is that there were too many size choices. 36, 39, 42 or 49? I found the 36 just a bit too small and the 39 (I tried it twice) just a bit too large. The size and proportions of the LE version is perfect...one and done!

Picked up my seamaster today i was nervous as its my first expensive watch. It definitely looks better in the flesh. Number 377.

I have now owned the anniversary RM for a week & it has spent the entire week on my wrist, which is a very good thing!
My initial thoughts on this watch were that it was not up to scratch, that there was something I couldn’t put my finger on. Well I have found that something and it’s got nothing to do with the RM – more of which later.
Simply put, Omega have made a stellar time piece. It’s size, it’s weight, the fact that it has many personalities in different lighting, it really is a beautiful watch. I have read many things about this watch, but none seem to touch on just how perfect the crown & lugs are, let alone the domed sapphire crystal – now that is something stunning!
Whilst the bracelet is comfortable and looks great – I have no problems with the clasp being too obtrusive, the watch really comes to life on a vintage leather strap or the supplied NATO. Changing the straps over is simple and fun, with some watches it can be a fiddly experience, but Omega have made this a simple task, so it makes strap changes a doddle!
Overall a great watch, but I do have a couple of minor negatives. The first being that the rotor is rather loud on calibre 8806, as this is my first Omega, I’m not too sure whether this is a common trait? Or it’s just this movement? For example on my Blancpain Bathyscaphe, I hear no rotor noise & the same with my Sea Dweller & a few other pieces. My second negative is that the crown is rather loose. I know this is not a screw down crown, but for example on my JLC TT Geophysic 1958 which again is not a screw down crown, there is no movement at all. As I stated they are only minor negatives which don’t take away my enjoyment of this watch!!!!
Finally, why has it taken me so long to warm to the RM? The long wait for one, but the main reason is my daily wearer the JLC TT Geophysic 1958. In my eyes these watches are aesthetically similar. The Geophysic 1958 has spent over a year on my wrist on weekdays & the RM is now vying with it for daily wrist time – something I can wear with a suit or with jeans, t-shirt and sneakers. I don’t know if there’s room for both in my collection? It’s something that I will have to sort out.
Anyone that picks up one of these RM’s is going to be very, very happy indeed. It is fantastic!

Our position is similar. I too have a Geophysic 1958 and aspiring to own this Railmaster as well. But I've Explorer 1 also in my collection. That may club all three vying for same place! When I bought Geophysic last year it was referred to as gentleman's Explorer. Then there is this watch. A simple beauty in a way. I'm confused what to do now....
