In today’s quick video I take a look at the perfect book for newcomers just getting into watches, and unbox the Omega Speedmaster 57' "broad arrow" 38.6mm luxury chronograph.
I discuss why Louis Nardin's "The Magic Of Watches" is not only an outstanding introduction to the world of fine watchmaking, but also why it is an essential reference guide for more experienced watch enthusiasts too.
I then give my initial impressions on one of my favourite releases of 2017. This limited edition watch was famously reissued as part of a trilogy to mark the 60th anniversary of the original trio back in 1957.

Discovering your videos 4 months ago has totally reignited my love for watches. I’m 51 now but distinctly remember at the age of 12 me and my best mate drooling through jewellers windows in Bham at seiko’s we couldn’t afford but buying many ingersol and timex watches. Now selling my 30 plus over priced fashion watches and bought my first seiko at 51 an SKX 009 had it for 2 weeks and love it, first of many. Anyway huge thank you please don’t stop as watch your videos daily during my 100 mile commute to London on train. I too now have greedy little horological mits , thanks from a London Bobby .

Hi TGV - I had been saving for over a year for the '57 and shortly before buying I saw your videos on the Explorer 214270 and fell in love with that. I'm close to making the purchase at a local AD now, but have not forgotten the '57 and will begin saving for it again. Thanks for this video and I emphasize with your wanting to keep this watch! Best of luck in your decision. Best Regards, John

The optional leather strap was a treat but when you pulled out the authentic NATO, I almost died. Cheers to you and thank you for the great videos. Look forward to seeing more of this omega in all its variations.

Fantastic video. I love the book reviews. It's something that's just not done enough. Actually, I think you are the only one who does them. I feel like books on horology greatly enhance the enjoyment of this hobby. And for people that don't know, on some of your previous videos, you review some excellent examples of what can be had for absolute bargains. Brilliant stuff. This Omega may very well send my wallet to hospital. And just when I thought I reduce the. Collection a bit. Oh well. Thanks Tristano for yet another great piece. Cheers.

I inspected the set at the Omega Boutique in Zurich last month. They are gorgeous watches! The ONLY reason I didn’t buy the Railmaster on the spot was the lack of screw in crown. The Seamaster is the only screw in of the trilogy. For a Chrono, that Speedmaster is cooler than anything available. Great review as always sir!

But for smaller size speedies, the trilogy speedy looks the best hands down (glidelock too!). I got a 6.3 inches wrist too, can't afford the trilogy speedy, so I am wearing a speedy date instead. Thank you for the good choice!

But then the Aqua Terra always calls to me too. Great video Tristano! Ciao, John

Sounds alot but considering how much new omegas are i think i have a bargain. Works well and looks really good.

Hi TGV 100% on the coolness scale! Especially like that old school bracelet. Looking forward to the in depth review. I think it’s a fine move from Omega that they’re releasing historical remakes. It seems to be a bit of a trend these years for some brands, focusing on the brands original values. And horology indeed is about history too, so no wonder... I really like that fine book too. Keep up the good work👍
