Overview

The Speedmaster ’57 collection pays tribute to the very first Speedmaster from 1957, combining straight lugs, a brushed steel tachymeter bezel and clean, no-crown-guard case lines with Omega’s latest movement technology. Reference 332.10.41.51.01.001 is the classic black-dial version on steel bracelet, offering a more compact and slimmer alternative to the Moonwatch while staying unmistakably Speedmaster. 

Design & Wrist Presence

At 40.5 mm in diameter and around 13 mm in thickness, the Speedmaster ’57 wears smaller and flatter than the modern Moonwatch, making it ideal for daily wear and slimmer wrists. 

The symmetrical stainless-steel case with straight lugs, brushed steel tachymeter bezel and box-style sapphire crystal gives the watch a strong vintage character, while the black dial with applied indexes and two sub-dials keeps the layout clean and legible. 

The steel bracelet with folding clasp continues the retro inspiration with a flat-link look and a comfortable taper, creating a cohesive all-steel presence that works with everything from T-shirt and jeans to a smart casual outfit.

Movement & Performance

Inside the case beats Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9906, a hand-wound chronograph movement developed in-house. It offers a 60-hour power reserve, anti-magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss, a column-wheel and vertical-clutch chronograph architecture and full METAS Master Chronometer certification for accuracy and robustness. 

The bi-compax dial layout places small seconds at 9 o’clock and a co-axial chronograph hours-and-minutes counter at 3 o’clock, with a date window discreetly integrated at 6 o’clock. This allows you to track elapsed time up to 12 hours while keeping the dial balanced and easy to read. 

The watch is water-resistant to 50 m / 5 bar, is fitted with a sapphire crystal front and back and lets you admire the movement through the open caseback.

• Retail price: €9,150 (approx., depending on market and configuration)
