In this video, I take a closer look at one of my favorite Speedmaster references, the heritage-inspired Speedmaster '57. Pairing a historically accurate design with a decidedly modern in-house caliber, the '57 makes an intriguing argument while also differentiating itself from the standard Speedy. What do you guys think of the OMEGA Speedmaster '57?

Having worn the sandwhich dial almost daily for a year now I can only sing its praises. Beautifully executed watch and so comfortable on the wrist.

@trdartz Ай бұрын

Got this one in blue and I love it. Was my first luxury watch and after a year I still love it. I didn’t actually want the moon watch because it’s way too common and I liked the 2 sub dial layout which made this look cleaner. I have zero intent of selling it as this is my 40 yo birthday watch that my wife got me ....so resale really doesn't affect me. I just love how it looks

I have had my Speedy 57 for about a year or so .. phenomenal watch that I wear daily. I was torn between the Speedy and Zenith El Primero until I tried on the Zenith and it simply was a good fit for my smaller wrists. Ultimately I was won over by the beautiful vintage design combined with an excellent modern movement. I also was fortunate to find “a like new” one for under 7k, which allowed me to pull the trigger

Hi Teddy, perfect video as always. Nevertheless there is one thing I’m missing, wich is a visual side-by-side comparison on the same scale of the original 57, the new 57 and the Speedmaster professional. I miss this comparison in all the videos (of all the fantastic creators) that are about two or more watches, but I never see them next to each other.

@clintmiller1 Ай бұрын

This watch is incredible on the bracelet. But if you add a good quality aftermarket brown leather strap (and black too!), it takes it to a whole other level! The black face, faux patina, steel bezel, and brown leather work really well together.

@OjusJere Ай бұрын

Thank you Teddy for bringing the '57 into the limelight (now just hope investors don't shoot up its value). It is overlooked and certainly underrated when compared to the Moonwatch, indeed. I like the original black and stainless steel look of it. Although, I think 40mm is a bit big, regardless a fantastic piece. Rightly mentioned, without the '57 there would be no other Speedmasters! Planning to gift myself on my 30th!

There seems to be much more love than hate for the 57. Agree the sandwich dial is the way to go. My only omega is the 60th 007. The watch is brilliant but the overlap and buckle in the mesh strap is somewhat uncomfortable at times. The bracelet on this 57 looks really nice. The movement also looks killer. Great review Teddy!

This watch is kind of insane. It isn’t iconic like a Speedy Pro, and it isn’t automatic anymore, which seems like a reason someone would choose this over a Speedy Pro (although I appreciate how this isn’t a hockey puck on the wrist now that it got rid of the rotor and went to a manual wind system). I think this watch isn’t for people that don’t care about the “moon watch” history and just like the design, or they already own a Speedy Pro, like that this design is slightly different, and want to add something unique to their collection. I dig it… but it would be like a 3rd or 4th watch in my collection. Thanks for making the video, Teddy!

@edkwon Ай бұрын

I love my green dial 57, but the construction of the black sandwich dial is so cool, wish I liked it enough to buy. Also I chose the 57 over the Professional Moonswatch as my first Speedmaster because I wanted something slightly different.

@bbrebozo6417 Ай бұрын

The chronograph minutes and hours are hard to discern in the 57. I have two chronographs with this layout, and the only one I can easily read when timing a flight is the Omega deep black chronograph (because the minute hand in the combination sub register is orange). Greg Kissing likes to say that combining these indicators in one sub register gives you a potential two timezone watch (if you start the chronograph at noon or midnight). That doesn’t make that sub register readable.

@VMIyanks04 Ай бұрын

I do love that blue dial ‘57! It’s sharp! But I’d have a hard time trading in my current 3861 Speedy for it. While it would be a better daily watch for me with the date and blue dial, it would lose the Moonwatch history for me, which is something that I really can’t take away from that watch. Otherwise, it’s just another vintage-inspired reissue, whereas I view the new Moonwatch as a natural iteratively improved modern version, slowly over time of their watch, like Rolex does with their Sub.

@DOAHouse Ай бұрын

I bought this exact watch just over a year ago. The biggest reason was the look of the broad arrow hands and a more balanced look of the two sub-dials. This was my first manual wind watch, so I have to be mindful of how much /often to wind the watch. Best part, I went to the Omega Boutique store and asked about the availability of the watch. None were in stock, but received a call three weeks later and purchased the watch. I have an older Aqua Terra, and a Seamaster 300M. This watch is my favorite.

On picture I was in love with the Speedmaster 57 in blue or green. Then I fitted one in real life at my AD and I was disappointed with both watches. To my eyes those two models looked plain, a bit boring and not that appealing in real life. I know; the Speedmaster 57 should be more special being a dial in blue or green or…but for some reason it did not look and feel this way. I can not understand or explain why and It’s ofcourse a personal opinion. But for me; my Speedmaster Pro Hesalite is so much nicer on every aspect. The IWC Ingenieur 40 is a couple of grand more (and overpriced on paper with that movement) but when I fitted this watch in Aqua I was amazed and blown away about the looks, details and presence.. This was something I thought would happen when seeing the Speedmaster 57 in real life, but sadly it was not the case :(

Not trying to change your mind but I think the lume is simply a color choice. Instead of referring to it as fauxtina look at it as a shade of off white.
