New Speedmaster ‘57

I love my 3861 Speedmaster, but this new Speedy ‘57 might be a better daily. Anyone else out there with a Speedmaster ‘57?

I've been waiting to see your incoming photo. Looks amazing on you. More please if you can- especially a side profile. I love blue dials and I appreciate the case dimensions on this reference. I tried on a green 57 and it was an instant love. I am looking to pick up 1-2 pieces in 2024 and this one is on the short list for sure. Of course, the new white dial Speedmaster could be a problem too...

This one's a hidden gem. Very near perfect modern version of the original.

Here are some more pics. It wears very comfortably. I love the flat link bracelet. The blue is also very subtle. Even more subtle than my blue DJ41. More pics to follow.

Very similar wrist presence as the 3861 due to the longer lugs.

Thanks for the additional photos PTC. Very cool watch. I have a colleague who is getting one of these in shortly and I do plan on checking it out closely. I especially appreciate the last photo as I have the same DJ41 blue and a SMP300 blue so I don't think the 57 would be too redundant. Might not even care if it is as I am learning that its better to scratch the itch than overthink/overplan a collection. The heart wants what the heart wants kind of thing I suppose. Thanks again for the pics and congratulations on the fine timepiece.

I do love the green dial too, but I’m a sucker for blue dial watches. I do think the white dial Speedmaster will be incredible. Can’t wait to see one in person, but the Apollo 8 is still on my list.

New Speedmaster ‘57

Super cool. I do wish it had a quickset date, but that’s my only gripe. Other than that, just about perfect. It’s a stunning watch and love how Omega made it thinner and manual wind. Congrats!

Oh and the Apollo 8 is also an AWESOME Omega.

It’s a sweet watch.

What’s everyone’s opinion of the red dialed one?

The red dial looks amazing especially if you want something a little different. Every brand is doing blue & green dials lately. I always prefer blue dials due to the versatility. You can wear blue with almost anything.

I own what I believe is an earlier version of the 57' re-issue that pictured. It's slightly different than the one that's been posted. Doesn't have the broad arrow minute hand and has slightly different sub-dials. Mine also came on a leather strap, rather than the bracelet and I believe is 41.5 mm (not sure the dimensions of yours). Still I really like these 57' re-issues. Great movement with a sapphire back. Two sub-dials instead of the traditional three, but leaves room for a date at 6:00.

And for whatever reason the version I have doesn't seem to get much love (see the thread I started below). I just picked mine up NIB a couple of weeks ago for slightly over $4000. I assume it's New Old Stock, which is why the dealer was looking to move it.

Nevertheless, these are really nice watches and a great addition to any Omega collection. Enjoy yours.
