THE BEST WATCHES FOR SPRING 2017

Omega New Speedmaster Automatic

Among the subtle nods to the first OMEGA Speedmaster from 1957 are the straight lugs extending from the watch case and the bracelets which recall that iconic chronograph. The dials are defined by their pure, understated design. There are two sub-dials on the dial instead of the three that are normally associated with the Speedmaster. This distinction is made possible by the placement of the 12-hour and 60-minute counters in the same sub-dial at 3 o’clock allowing a comfortable and intuitive chronograph reading. The second sub-dial at 9 o’clock keeps track of the passing seconds. The brushed bezel stands out with its tachymeter scale, another design feature that is so closely linked to the OMEGA Speedmaster.
