Here’s another quick look into Omega’s heritage luxury watches under its Omega collection, the Omega Seamaster 300 “Titanium On Leather Strap.” Just a piece of small information about Omega’s Seamaster collection, Omega first made or introduced its Seamaster collection in 1957 that was mainly made for professional divers.

The Seamaster collection of Omega offers multiple luxury watch choices, especially on the design. Omega’s Seamaster collection has four types of watches: the Heritage Models, Aqua Terra, Planet Ocean, and the Diver 300M. The Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-axial Chronometer 41mm belongs to its Heritage luxury watch models.

Omega Speedmaster ‘57 Chronograph 38.6MM The 1957 Trilogy “Steel On Steel.”

This fully stainless steel luxury watch from Omega is part of the legendary luxury watches the Omega released back in 1957. That includes the Seamaster Railmaster 38mm, Seamaster 300, and the one that will be reviewed right now, the Speedmaster’57. All of these three luxury watches have their own remarkable story to tell, and it’s up to you if you wanted to know.

As a tribute to the 1957 trilogy, Omega released an extraordinary masterpiece of a 60th Anniversary edition of each watch, which are the ones that have been mentioned above. If you like to have one of these legendary luxury watches from Omega, there are only 3,557 units available in the market right now, and since they released it back in 2017, there are few available units left.

Nevertheless, if you’re lucky enough and you get your hands on one of these watches, such as the Speedmaster ‘57 Chronograph 38.6mm “Steel on Steel,” then you’ll surely love the features that you’ll be getting from it. Features such as a black tropical dial with Super-Luminova vintage indexes are some that you’ll be getting.

The 1957 Trilogy Speedmaster ‘57 Chronograph uses an unusual movement, which is the Omega 1861. It’s the popular manual-winding chronograph movement, which is based on the legendary movement that was used to conquer the moon. Also, instead of using a sapphire crystal, they used a hesalite crystal to provide a much more durable front protection.

Omega Seamaster Railmaster Co-axial Master Chronometer 38mm The 1957 Trilogy “Steel on Steel.”

To complete the 1957 Trilogy here’s the Seamaster Railmaster Co-axial Chronometer 38mm. This steel on steel variant of the Railmaster offers a very subtle yet expensive look. The Railmaster is the most uncomplicated luxury watch you can ever have if you don’t like to show the world that you’re wearing one of the 1957 trilogy luxury watches.

The Seamaster Railmaster uses an Omega 8806, a self-winding movement accompanied by a unique co-axial escapement. This particular timepiece can survive for at least 55 hours, which is pretty impressive for a watch such as this. It’s also water-resistant of up to 6 bar or 60 meters, which is also pretty average.

Omega decided to use a sapphire crystal on its front for this variant instead of using a Hesalite crystal. Please don’t underestimate the reliability and durability of a sapphire crystal because, for generations, Omega has been using a sapphire crystal for all of its luxury watches. This just proves that it’s pretty reliable and durable.

If you’re looking for excellent precision, the Seamaster Railmaster is a Master Chronometer Certified, which means that it went through several days of examination or test just to see how precise it is. You’ll also love the anti-magnetic capabilities of this watch that reaches 15,000 gausses.

Takeaway

Omega has a great history of creating the best Swiss that watches people can put their hands on. These top three watches don’t have the best style or design if you compare them to other Omega watches. However, when it comes to luxury watches, style and design aren’t always the critical factor; the story and history make a watch stand at the top.
