Blomman,
After a quick search, I have found the following ressources, in German, in French, in Italian:
First of all, an extract from a 1958 catalog
Seamaster
Railmaster
Speedmaster
1 year later, from a 1959 catalog. Also in German.
Railmaster
Seamaster
Speedmaster
Then, comes an French article about the 1958 Basel Fair, highlighting the 3 new models offered by Omega.
And finally, even if this is not the "original" Holy Trinity, this is an extract from an italian catalog featuring the Railmaster, the Speedmaster and the Seamaster all together.
Holy Trinity documentations...?
Hello Omega fans! Don’t know if you noticed… Normally, I am that kind of guy that likes to find the documents of a watch first, study the documents and maybe, eventually, go for the watch. If I find that I have enough information! Well, when it comes to t...

Great document!
Interesting read - thank you, Marv! I knew I could count on you! Best Blomman
I don't have more to share, blomman, but I have a story of coincidence.
I found an NOS 2003 Railmaster in 38 mm size on bracelet sitting sadly in a corner of my AD's show window. But with the Basel show starting tomorrow I figure I can always go back and get it if there is nothing I like at Basel this year. I know you are a s...
Well, Ruckdee...
The 2003 Railmaster is a very beautiful watch. If you like it, you should go for it! I think it would eb difficult to find a NOS 2003 while any of the new comming this year will; 1) Not be available yet. 2) Once Omega start to ship the new watches, they w...
It seems I sought advice from the best. All wins and no losses.
Thank you for your view on this matter. The lady is agreeable with the already ordered Grande Reverso Calendar so far. Let me try and spring this idea of a Railmaster on her and see how she reacts! Ruckdee
Hey Ruckdee!
Don't tell me that my advice make you skip a JLC over an Omega?! You know Vlad will not be happy with me... Best Blomman
The new Reverso is 100% confirmed just waiting for delivery.
Vlad will not be disappointed in us ha haa. I just felt like adding an Omega to my collection while waiting. So it's going to be either this Railmaster or the Speedmaster Moonphase I once owned. Oh the wait... Ruckdee
That's great, Ruckdee! :)
You got me worried there for awhlie..! Looking forward to see your new Revrso. Best Blomman
i have a 2003 42mm railmaster
i can highly recommend it as a superb watch, but one other thing to think about is that they are or already have ceased production of the railmaster automatic. hopefully they'll re introduce one with the 8500 calibre, but who knows. get it while you can. ...
Your vote of confidence is greatly appreciated. And in the case that they will offer...
...a newer Railmaster with Caliber 8500, I will still be partial for the 2003 version as I am interested in just the design. The movement I don't care much about and I already have the 8500 in my Ploprof so that base is covered. The NOS 2003 piece I found...
Nothing more than a few of those you already posted. ;)
And only about the CK 2913... I am very late! But these documents are a feast for the eyes, my friend. As for the watch which is missing, that raises a question: Which Speedmaster will you hunt? A CK 2915, or a very nice 2998? Best, Nicolas
My first choice...
would be the CK 2915... But that will be problematic for several reasons...! So, go for the 2998 instead..? I don't know, my friend. I really don't know... Best Blomman
Really 2 fantastic watches you have there, Blomman
You mentioning the Holy Trinity and already owing 2 of them, obviously means you're brewing something Do not forget the little sister in the shape of the Ranchero, that both from a stylistic and time perspective almost beloong to that fabulous series... I...
Ranchero...
Yes, I asked about that one here back in 2010... But passed on it. Now when I have started my Omega journey I wished I hadn't... Well, isn't that everybody's dreamto make the Holy Trinity..?! Thank you for your kind words and book tips, Ztirual! I will ha...
