Meet Omega's new Speedmaster '57 and a Moonwatch made from Moonshine gold.
The movement has two barrels for a 60-hour power reserve, a silicon balance spring for less friction, low maintenance and better performance, and METAS certification. The Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology is a measurement testing lab that runs the watches through a series of tough trials to meet standards that exceed the requirements of the Swiss Chronometry lab known as COSC.
The bezel has a stainless steel insert that’s engraved and then colored in with a laser treatment. The low-profile bracelet adds to the watch’s sense of slimness and wearability. As a bonus, it is equipped with Omega’s comfort release adjustment system, which means it can be adjusted by 2.20 mm, in two positions. The caseback is open and decorated on the back plate with Omega’s signature arabesque Côtes de Genève finish. It is priced at $8,600 on a bracelet and $8,300 on a strap.
There are two dial colors: gold and green, both of which look amazing with the soft yellow gold of the bracelet and case. The gold dial is matched by a black ceramic bezel ring and blackened subdials. The PVD green coated dial version has a green ceramic bezel and gold-colored markings to match the case and bracelet. Each comes with a polished Moonshine gold bracelet or black rubber strap with a lunar surface texture on the back.
