Aesthetically it is a super modern interpretation of the ck. 2915 Movement is superb and of all the cal 9300 dials the layout is best in this one Downside : it's a very thick watch and I'm not keen on the double sapphire box concept And the price, it's a very hefty premium Bracelet are much improved and this one had a superb bracelet Would I buy one?

Hi Oliver, I like the new 57 very much. I did hear it weighs in a little heavy and was partial to the titanium model... But after thinking more about it, going to stay with my current Broad Arrow... And Mondphase... I don't think you're a watch snob at all, and hope you find something nice to share soon. Best, -- Richard.
I remember well this one poping in 2013. I always liked the Speeedmaster (I have a Mark IV) and especially this dial that will never go out of fashion.

In my opinion, the cal. 3313 is a perfect compromise of modern movement technology, performance and aesthetics, and so the Speedmaster Co-axial matches my requirements perfectly. Marcus
I tried a couple of these Speedy 57's--one with a band and one with a bracelet at the Omega Boutique in Orlando. I do have a smaller wrist so coming in to the store, this version was my dream Speedy. The in-house coaxial movement, sapphire case back, and date function all wrapped up in a reasonable 41.5mm package was "perfect" for my next watch. I just needed to confirm my impressions.
