Watch Of The Week: The New Omega Speedmaster ’57

Over the last several decades, the Speedmaster has become an inherent Omega style. Inspired by the complex inner workings between race car drivers and engineers while on the track, the Speedmaster debuted in 1957 as Omega’s first line of chronographs. Since its inception, there have been many iterations of the Speedmaster, including the famous “Moonwatch” and the Speedmaster ’57. Continuing the evolution of the Speedmaster, after launching in 2013, the Speedmaster ’57 makes its grand return this year with eight new models that feature an impressive Master Chronometer upgrade.
