OMEGA Speedmaster ’57 40.5 mm, steel on steel 332.10.41.51.01.001

Description

The Speedmaster is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces. Having been a part of all six lunar missions, the timepiece is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit.

This 40.50 mm model, inspired by the legendary 1957 original, features a stainless steel case and a black dial with recessed hour markers showing vintage Super-LumiNova from beneath. Along with rhodium-plated “Broad Arrow” hands, there is a date window at 6 o’clock, a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, and 12-hour and 60-minute chronograph recorders on the subdial at 3 o’clock.

The brushed bezel includes a blackened tachymeter scale, while on the caseback, there is a “Speedmaster ‘57” engraving as well as a flat sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment inside.

The watch is presented on a matching bracelet with OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system, and is driven by the manual-winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9906.

Features

• Anti-magnetic: The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).
• Chronograph: The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.
• Chronometer: Label given to a watch which has been successfully tested by an accredited and independent laboratory in order to receive a certificate compliant with the chronometer ISO 3159 standard.
• Date: The day of the month, displayed in a window on a watch dial at the 3 or 6 o’clock position, or within a subdial at 9 o’clock.
• Master Chronometer Certified: Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
• Small seconds: A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.
• Tachymeter: A tachymeter watch has a function for measuring speed. It is a chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed can be read in kilometres per hour based on a 1000 metre distance.
• Time zone function: Allows the hour hand to be easily adjusted to different time zones without stopping the watch.
• Transparent caseback: A transparent caseback – frequently made of sapphire – makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
