Review Omega Speedmaster ’57 stainless steel and red gold

Omega Speedmaster ’57 331.22.42.51.01.001, the stainless steel and red gold combination on a brown leather calf strap. More replica Omega Speedmaster watches.

The dial appears to be different than the one used on the ‘normal’ Speedmaster Caliber 9300 that we reviewed here and here. At least to us it appeared as if the lay-out was different. A quick comparison taught us that the sub dials of this Speedmaster ’57 are a bit bigger. Below you see a comparison picture with the Speedmaster reference 311.30.44.51.01.002 (right) and the Speedmaster ’57 331.22.42.51.01.001 (left). The hour markers are a bit shorter giving the sub dial indices a bit more space.

41.5mm (which is actually smaller than then hand-wound Speedmaster Professional that we discuss here so often), it surely seems to wear a bit bigger. This is mainly due to the height of the watch. The chronograph caliber 9300 watches by Omega are all quite thick and this Speedy ’57 is no exception. Due to the use of a sapphire crystal on both the front and the back of this watch, Omega will make you think their Speedmaster caliber 9300 are a lot thinner.
