Omega Railmaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer 38 mm The 1957 Trilogy ...

Team,

Sometimes the majority is right, not always of course.

This time, Dr. No and other owners of the Railmaster are 100% correct.

The Railmaster from the 1957 Trilogy is a watch that challenges my perception.

I saw it first, during my memorable visit to Omega last January and, from the trio, it was the one that didn't catch my attention.

Saw it last week and, again, it didn't triggered the "I want bit".

Yesterday, my magician sales lady made me to wear it and "voilà", I was converted!

I'm a lover of the vintage styled watches but I don't love the occasional disappointment or pain that the true vintage watches can cause.

I'm too old to search for parts that don't exist anymore, to wait forever for a repair and, worst, to receive bad news about the originality of a watch.

Omega is a brand that, like any large manufacture, makes terrible mistakes (yes!) but this time the C.E.O. Raynald Aeschlimann and team hit the mark.

The Railmaster is everything that one can want, in terms of looks, about a vintage piece modernized with an amazing quality and fine taste.

One the inside, it's powered by the excellent caliber 8806, Master Chronometer certified, Co Axial.

Let's see some pictures that I took on this foggy morning.



Sexy without being over.



Notice the Omega logo etched on the sapphire crystal. Details that shows care.



The buckle of the metal bracelet. Cool. (Of course, it comes with a leather strap that I plan to install soon).



In B&W



Hanging on my hand. Cool. (notice that there are some dirty that I forgot to clean).



Kudos to Omega for this and others from the Trilogy.

My warm thanks to Ms. L. and Ms. D. for another amazing experience.

Cheers,

Nilo

But, where is the Trilogy? It's starting to really annoy me.

Not only you ...

That's waiting. Be cool. Should be in December. Cheers, Nilo

So, only about 7 months late.

Delay is unforgivable!

Very frustrating. Never promise what you can’t deliver. Still, a few weeks now.

Funny thing.

Got an email a few hours ago with subject: Trilogy. Got so excited and started planning the pick up. Then I read the email. My contact at Omega is leaving and was writing a hand-off email. And so, now I am upset even more. But at least I got to see thisIR...  

Such a beautiful watch!

I have decided to admire this one from afar, personally. I want a coaxial with 2 barrels . Such elegance! This watch is very refined. I’m it’s own way, it’s hard to put one’s finger on isn’t it?

Try it and then tell me. [nt]

These pictures of yours are superb. They give justice to tis beautiful watch. If only it had a manual winding movement...

It is the same issue than for the TT Geophysic. With a manual winding movement, I would have got these 2. Best, and enjoy. Omega did an excellent job on this trilogy. Nicolas

It was hard decision by Omega ...

After all, they have a manual wind movement that has the same characteristics. Cheers, Nilo

Congratulation!

Is " Hesalite crystal with OMEGA logo in the centre", meaning that is assembled as any Moon watch. The other watches from the trilogy uses sapphire crystal and I believe that they use a different method for the etching and assembly. If you want, you can a...

. . . just to prove to her I'm right occasionally.

“Challenges my perception”

That it did. Hope you get your trilogy set soon! Echi

Consider me part of your team in admiring this watch.

This will be my second Omega. Soon. Best wishes , very nice pictures. Chief Nilomis. Geross.

You made, by PM, an important point ...

The crown is not screw down type, that limits the water resistance to meager 60 meters. Omega followed the original one (that was the "marching orders" to produce the Trilogy - "Be as much original as possible"). Since I don't wash my hands with any watch... 

That's the power of this watch...

It's truly amazing how this Railmaster changes your mind after trying it on. I'm enjoying mine to the fullest!
