Omega Speedmaster ´57 Co-Axial Chronograph ...

with caliber 9300/9301 and equipped with a silicon balance spring.

It was already introduced in Basel 2013, but I can´t remember we talked a lot about the watch. Well, Imran (aka Miranda) mentioned it once or twice. Did I miss it?






The Omega Speedmaster is on the market for more than 50 years and we have seen quite a lot different versions. For some it is a must-have in any watch collection.
For me it was always a nice watch and some I liked a little bit more. But I never fall in love, so far.
When I saw pictures of the new ´57 it got my attention. The puristic and almost vintage style together with some nice technical features. Everything inside a wearable 41.5 mm case. The latter is nicely shaped on top.
Nice details on the dial ...



and a bezel I like a lot.


The movement is interesting to say the least, because of its technical features.




It is not haute horlogerie what we see, but still interesting. Quite "technical" and I have to get used to that kind of style. But I hope I am not a "watch snob" and I would like to give it a try

Unfortunately I had no appointment with Omega in Basel last year and so I coulnd´t take any pictures. My schedule was just too tight!

I had to wait until they reached the stores. So far I only tried the steel black dial version with leather strap. But there are quite a few more ...





Which one is the best? Leather strap or bracelet? The latter could be interesting for me, but my expectations are quite high when it comes to bracelets. I have no experience with bracelets from Omega, but had the pleasure to wear some really good ones from other brands ... and tried to avoid those which don´t feel good for me.

Until I can try my favourite version(s) at one of my AD´s, I would like to get your opinions on that specific model.

If you already have real-world experiences, pictures ... please share
