Trilogy collection - how many are left?

Recently became interested in purchasing a model from the 2017 trilogy collection and would like to do so from an AD or boutique. I've seen the railmaster trilogy in pretty much every sales case I've come across in the last few years. I've seen the seamaster trilogy in 3 cases including 1 just recently. I've never come across the speedmaster which is the trilogy model I want the most.

I've only had the chance to try the seamaster trilogy on but really want the speedmaster trilogy and would have to order and ship to me without being able to try it on first. How does the speedmaster wear compared to the seamaster? Looks like it is the same case with a different bezel and slightly larger dial area.

Also anyone with any trilogy model please chime in with your experience if you'd like!

Bracelet aside, the trilogy Seamaster is heavier than the Speedmaster.

The clasp on the 60th anniversary models is quite hefty, and I think the out of the 3, the thickness of the Seamaster sits most in harmony with the heavy bulk of the bracelet clasp.

You could try on a FOIS, and see how you might like that case size for a Speedy? I think the 60th anniversary Speedmaster is very close in dimensions compared to the FOIS and ck2998 heritage range.

By your user name, I'll risk a 50/50 stab that you either have connections to the LA area (UCLA) or Boston (hockey) 😉. If you're in California, there's actually a couple Omega / Tourbillon boutique employees who own the trilogy Speedmaster, and frequently wear it while they're in store. In both the San Diego OB, and the San Francisco Tourbillon. You might be able to chat those fellas up and see if you can try on their watches? They can also keep an eye out for inventory across the Swatch retail network if one pops up for ya.

If I could go back in time, I wish I'd chosen the Speedy over the Seamaster. I sold the Seamaster after a year or so, because I strongly despised the loud rotor sound & vibration of the caliber 8806 movement. You won't have any issues with that on the Speedy... plus you'll have one of the best manual winding experiences, due to the 60th anniversary not having crown guards!

Of the three I like the Speedmaster trilogy much more.

I owned the Trilogy Seamaster and spent over a year trying to find a NOS/mint matching Speedy at a reasonable price. No luck finding the latter and eventually swapped out the Trilogy SM300. Loved lots about that watch but found myself wearing it sparingly and finally not at all.

If I had a do-over I'd have gone for the Trilogy Railmaster, which IMO has the most classically beautiful lines and crystal of the three and is a bit easier to find, even NOS. I think the FOIS is a reasonable available alternative to the Trilogy Speedy, and there are a few examples of owners who have modded them to resemble that watch even more closely.

In reply to the OP's question and thread title, I still see the RMLE and SM300 for sale occasionally, sometimes at a slight or decent discount from the original asking price. No Speedies though. Ever.

I have the speedy and the day i bought it I took it off the bracelet. Far too chunky. But the leather strap that comes with it is epic. Its cool as hell on that bad boy. get one and rock the leather for sure.

My fav watch ever! (This says a lot)

Thankfully for the bracelet haters uncle seiko and forstner now offer a nice solution.

How does it wear compared to a standard moon watch if you know.

Well, to me 39mm is a sweet spot in watch sizing (I have large wrists and can rock a Panerai just as easily). That said, it doesn’t feel ‘smaller’ than a regular moonwatch ... just more elegant. I would say perfect 👍

If you can get your hands on a Railmaster LE, just do it!

I got my 57 Seamaster last year - could not be more pleased with it / lovely watch and perfect aesthetics. I don't know if any of you have seen the ID guy channel (some great from the heart watch design reviews) - but no surprise he picked the Seamaster 57 for his first quality timepiece:-

Having said all this I am increasingly very taken with the Railmaster - a very pure watch.

I have all three -



My favorite of the three is the RM. Based on looks and wear on the wrist.
