Threw in the white towel . . .

I was thrilled when Omega announced its 1957 Trilogy 60th Anniversary collection. After debating between the Speedmaster and the Seamaster 300, I decided to pull the trigger on the Speedmaster. Well, today, I decided to throw in the towel and take the plunge on the Seamaster 300 as well:


I've been amazed that these and the Railmasters are still available. In this year alone, I’ve seen about a dozen Seamaster 300’s at multiple ADs across the US.


I'm a big fan of this current trend on re-issues, especially those pieces that pay tribute to dive and pilot watches. This one has been tugging at my heart for a while. I love the Omega symbol on the domed sapphire crystal.


Impressive lume:

Nice pickup. I’ve always liked this more than the 60th speedy.

Congratulations, there is something really special about these........I'd love it if Rolex did a similar re-issue of the 1680 but of course that will never happen. Hats off to Omega for doing such a faithful re-issue yet with some nice modern touches, including the METAS movement in the Seamaster.

If it wasn't for the 60th Anniversary Tribute Speedy, I would have jumped on another Tribute in 2017 that you're familiar with - the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec!

Do you have the 60th railmaster as well?

I can’t say enough good things about the Milspec, my most worn watch. I love it.
Not to be a bad influence or anything. Haha.

No, I don’t have the Railmaster. But, never say never!

I’m hoping to add the 1948 Seamaster Small Seconds to my collection. I was told August . . .

Looks amazing, although I’m surprised to read it’s so small. You must have tiny wrists considering how it looks when you’re wearing it. Beautiful nonetheless. Enjoy!
