At Last! My Trilogy 60 th Anniversary Edition arrived!
Finally my Omega Trilogy arrived!
It took so many months but wait was well worth it!! Speedy, Railmaster and Seamaster 300 60th Anniversary Limited Edition is as good as it gets.
A fantastic recreation of three classic and timeless designs by Omega!
Each watch was equipped with the SS bracelet which as strong and well designed they are they felt so “heavy” both visually and in weight.
So I changed them for some leather straps I had at hand which add to the vintage look of these watches and make them feel lighter on the wrist.
I feel Omega made a great job in recreating these historic watches.
I’m happy to share some first shots I took of them in haste.
Cheers! Abel.

Thanks a lot Agyzace! Yes, the Raimaster is my favorite, but each has its own charm. The SM300 for example...
... is a very faithful repro with an incredible high dome crystal which rivals the vintage models. The Speedy is superbly made too. Glad you like them! Cheers! Abel
If you can share some pics that highlight the sea's domes crystal, that would be great!
I also love the speedy stamp. Class.. All the best Abel, Alex
Thank you so much Alex! I will be taking some shots next week end and post them with much pleasure, including some close ups ...
... of their domes. Thank you again! Cheers! Abel
Looking forward Abel!!
I also meant the Speedy's strap. It is pure class.. Wonderful stuff! All the very best, Alex
Thanks a lot Alex for your coment again. Yes, Understood. These straps are Italian made. They are thin (2,5 mm thick), lined, soft leather very pliable. They are expensive ...
... but very well made and look classy indeed. Glad you like them! Will be posting some more pictures next week. Cheers! Abel
Woww, knowing they are also soft and not just good looking makes them even more attractive to the eye
Really great stuff Abel. Look forward to your future postings on them! All the best, Alex
Big congratulations my dear Abel. Three Omega in one go (I know it’s a trilogy 😋). Well played my dear friend. Enjoy and wear them in the best of your health
Best wishes Alkiro PS: I like your Omega knife case opener
Thank you so much my friend Alkiro! I had entered an order for them as soon as they were launched last year ...
... but it took a lot of months to arrive here. It happens here in my Country! Glad you like them and I appreciate your good wishes. Regarding the Omega case opener: agree it is a very nice piece of collection. I got it some years ago. It is signed by Hug...
Gracias mi querido amigo Juan! Thank you my friend! I guess...
... you got something too these days ... Hope you enjoy your new toy my friend! All the best! Abel
Muchas gracias Nicolas!! My favorite is the Railmaster...
... you know I have been after the vintage one for years with no luck. This one is very very nicely made. I only wished they made it with a manual wind movement, but anyway it is a beauty. I´m really impressed by the SM300 too. The dome crystal is impresi...
A man after my own heart! My order of preferences . . .
. . . to a 't'. The SM300 and 2915 were tempting, but the Rail was a necessity. Finding an original CK2914 is a game I can no longer play (at least, not realistically), so when Omega announced the limited editions last March, I had to have one. I too wish...
Wonderful trio of Omega Amigos...
Huge congratulations....3 strikes in 1 go! Rgds Raymond
Huge congratulations. Finally.
A torturous wait, but should prove to be worth it. Let us know your favorite, I am very interested which one you like best and why.
Thanks a lot dear friend Zabreg. It is not easy to chose a favorite...
... but if you ask just for one I should say the Railmaster. I have been after an original vintage one for so long with no luck!! I feel the Railmaster is a fantastic watch and Omega never made justice with the previous model years ago (I own one of those...
The RM is my current favorite.
I’m getting ready to wear it today. But, to be fair, I feel like I have to give it some time to truly choose a favorite. Then again, it might defeat the purpose. So I choose based on activity. Dressy: RM. driving: Speedy. Beach: Seamaster.
Ahh! So we share the favorite RM! But yes, you say well Zabreg: to each its own! Omega designed each of them for ...
... an special activity in 1957. Good to follow your guidelines. All the best my friend! Abel.
Here is one from this morning’s sunrise.
Agreed, sticking to Omega’s guidelines. HAGWE. ...
Beautiful early morning shot dear Zabreg! Thanks a lot for sharing!!...
... I see you also opted for vintage type straps on your RM. They add to the charming vintage mood of this watch I feel. Keep loving and enjoying my friend! Abel
Thank you, dear Abel.
The vintage straps definitely work the best for me. I am curious which combo of watch and strap you will end up with for each watch after a few months...
Congratulations.
I guess you've bought them separately, if so, nice move. To me they look much better without the unnecessary TRILOGY lettering on the dial. I'm more than happy with my Seamaster 300, I'm wearing it on a Tropic style strap and it feels great on the wrist. ...
Thank you for your comments VMM!! Yes, I ordered the models which come separately as I preferred the original dials without the Trilogy inscription on dial...
... I´m glad to know you enjoy so much your SM 300. It is an impresive watch for sure. I own an original of the SM300 and the new version is very close indeed, in a modern watch you can take to the water, pool or sea. I also love the "vintage" size of the...
Congrats! Love the strap on the Speedy!
I see you went after the individual pieces as opposed to the set. I'm sure that was a challenge. I'm wearing my Speedy now at the 'office': ...
Hello Mach! Thanks a lot for sharing your beauty! I´m happy to know you are enjoying your Speedy too! ...
... Yes I ordered the individual watches not the Trilogy dial ones. The steel bracelet of the three watches are superbly made but too heavy for my taste and visualy too strong for my personal taste too. I preferred them with leather straps as I like to we...
Fantastic! So happy for you dear Abel!
3rd set on WPS as I'm aware of. Big congrats! Sincerely D
Thanks a lot for your kind words dear D!! I feel these watches will be very popular among our friends here at WPS both ...
... individualy or in sets. They are wonderful additions to an Omega collection I feel. All the best my dear friend!! Abel.
Beautiful watches Abel -- congratulations!
There's something wonderfully subtle about all of these. I couldn't resist the Railmaster and Speedmaster myself. The former is so elegant and simple and the latter may be my favorite Speedmaster in many years. I love hand winding the Speedmaster -- the c...
Hello John! Thank you for your kind comments and sharing your view around these watches. Completely agree with your opinions about the ...
... RM and Speedy: the RM so elegant, pure and simple. This watch has always haunted me and regret to say I had no luck in my hunt for an original one. This new version is as close as it gets and though I would have preferred a manual wind movement inside...
Hello Christianch! Thank you so much! Yes, I ordered them together some months ago and the three just arrived to the watch shop last week end. But I didn´t order...
... the Set which is offered in a single presentation box with an additional inscription on dial. These watches are sold individualy boxed and do not have the inscription. I personally do not like such an inscription which was not present in the original ...
Excellent choice of watches, excellent decision to order them separately („clean“ dials) and....
....excellent choice of straps. Congrats! Cheers, HSTE
Congratulations, Abel!
A fantastic trio! The Seamaster has been growing and growing on me. Do please share your impressions on them. Un fuerte abrazo y aprovecho para desearte un excelente 2018, Abel! Todo lo mejor, Alejandro
Hola Alejandro! Mil gracias!! Thanks a lot my friend!!...
... appreciate so much your kind wishes for this New year and send my best wishes for you too. Be it with much peace and Good Health my friend! Each watch in this trio has its own attractive. The RM is a watch I had been hunting for long with no luck. Thi...
Hi Abel. Congrats on getting your Trilogy!
Did you get the set? I thought the set would have numbered dials. The RM does stand out. And yes, would’ve preferred the manual. But this may be as good as it gets so... Enjoy them in the best of health Best, Echi
Thanks a lot Echi!! Appreciate your kind comments and good wishes so much! This is not the Trio Set with additional inscription on dial but the watches which are sold...
... individually and lack the inscription which I personally do not like. That´s why I ordered them separately. Glad you like the RM so much as I do. The manual movement wouild have been great to have but in any case the automatic movement supplied is Top...
Huge congrats, dear Abel!
Fantastic set! Must say I prefer this version over the tri-box version with the extra text on the dial. Enjoy, my friend! Best Blomman
Thanks a lot dear friend Blomman! So glad you like this version with no extra text on dial too!! This is closest to the originals I felt and that´s why I ordered this version.
I am enjoying them so much! Thanks again for your kind comments and wishes my dear friend! Cheers! Abel.
Congratulations. It is a very nice trio to have and play with.
Mine, except for the Railmaster (NATO), are still on the bracelets. Yes it makes the watch more heavy than accustomed (if you have never had a Speedy on bracelet that is), but I have to say that the bracelet is very well made. The three position push/slid...
Thanks a lot dear Arie for your kind comments and for sharing your view around these watches...
... I absolutely agree that the bracelet is of excelent quality and design and much much better than those which equipped the originals. I own several modern Speedys and I prefer wearing them with straps as they feel too heavy for my taste with their stee...
I agree with you on the rattly bracelets of yesteryears.
Since I got the Rolex Explorer II (16570) my appreciation for those flimsy bracelets has grown. And the GMT 1675 bracelet (actually rattling) confirmed that. Thinner, lighter and more comfortable to wear. My Speedmaster ‘57 will see a leather strap mounte...
Thanks a lot for your kind comments Arie. Yes, I also appreciate so much those bracelets of the past, in spite of being filmsy and rattling they offered a lightweight and practical ...
... solution and some of them like in Rolex, the clasp was so easy to adjust with their simple multi holes system. I have read an interesting post about this theme a few weeks ago in a popular watch related web site. I will send you the link by PM as I do...
Congratulations!
I see you got them separately rather than the box set with the xxx/357 writing on the dial. I did the same with my 60th Railmaster
Congratulations to a full set: lovely, lovely sight!
Will make a complete vintage set also??? Best of luck for getting a vintage RM that you are trying to find for some time, as you mentioned here. Best Moritz
Thanks a lot for your kind comments Moritz! Regarding the vintage trio set...
... The only vintage I own is the SM300. I would love to own a vintage trio but regret to say that prices for an original Speedy of this reference had skyrocketed to such a level that I will not reach one now. And the RM I have been hunting it for years h...
