watch design
The charm of a watch lies not only in the watchmaking craftsmanship behind it, but also in the uniqueness of the dial design and the flexibility of matching. We saw this new Speedmaster ’57 watch. The entire dial design is very classic, and the symmetrical design makes people fall in love with it at a glance.
The 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions are the chronograph counter and the small seconds counter respectively, and the 6 o’clock position is the calendar window, which is simple, clear and elegant. The hands and scales are rhodium-plated for excellent brightness and not easy to fade. The most important thing is that the color of the dial of this watch is not the common black and white, but a very rare green. It is much more lively when paired with a green strap.
Green is originally the color that symbolizes life and hope. When paired with the Speedmaster ’57 watch, it shows a more energetic atmosphere. This kind of watch looks perfect when paired with suits, sportswear, or casual clothes. It is simply a must-have item for modern people.
Omega Speedmaster
When it comes to the name of this watch, we know that it has a lot of origins. The Omega Speedmaster series was founded in 1957 and was the first watch in the world to provide timing services for motor sports. At that time, it did not have the name Speedmaster. It was not until 1959 that it was officially renamed the Speedmaster series.
Then it followed astronauts into space many times and became a veritable “moon landing watch”. Its status was thus established. Everyone who loves watches knows the Speedmaster series of watches.
This new Speedmaster ’57 combines retro and modernity. It retains the classic elements of the Speedmaster series of watches, while using modern watchmaking technology. It can be said to be a tribute to history.
The watch uses a 40.5 mm stainless steel case, the bezel is made of brushed stainless steel, and the middle part has been blackened, which is very in line with the aesthetics of today’s young people. At the same time, because of the use of modern technology, the problem of paint peeling off the bezel of the old Speedmaster series watches has been solved to a large extent.
Watchmaking craftsmanship
Speedmaster ’57 is equipped with Omega’s self-made 9906 movement. This movement not only has high precision, but also has amazing anti-magnetic ability. Generally speaking, the anti-magnetic ability of watches is around 1,000 Gauss, but the anti-magnetic ability of this watch has reached more than 15,000 Gauss. It can be said to completely break the legend that mechanical watches cannot be anti-magnetic.
The 9906 movement also has a very good advantage, that is, power reserve. This movement can provide a power reserve of 60 hours, which means that even if you don’t wear this watch for two days, it can still keep time, which is very good.
For a mechanical watch priced at around 30,000 yuan, such parameters are already very satisfactory.
Summarize
In short, the Speedmaster ’57 is a watch that combines retro design and modern technology. It not only shows the wearer’s extraordinary taste, but its excellent movement and waterproof performance are also very suitable for daily wear. It is a rare good watch.
