I just picked up the 57 with a blue dial on a metal bracelet last week. It took me 6mths to find this colour and I absolutely LOVE IT.. Its gorgeous in person and so comfortable to wear. Its a keeper for me
I have to give it to Omega for making 30 meters great again. I never knew that.
Thank you for including the weight! I can't understand why more reviewers (and brands in general) don't include the weight of the watch. It makes such a difference in terms of deciding comfort and daily wearability (based on personal preference) . Kudos to you for including this info and I hope you continue to do so on future videos.
The transition at 2:01 was very clean! Thanks for the review, I wasn't aware of the change from 2013 to 2015.
If anyone is curious there is a very good looking version from the prior generation with a white dial and in titanium.
I really wanted to fall in love with this watch 57' ( the burgundy in particular). The proportions seemed perfect for me but once I tried it on the bracelet it didn't fit right, and I tried it on a few different times to double check. I was surprised considering I don't mind the fit of the Speedmaster Pro.
So for now as a Speedy guy I will sit in my corner and cry as I won't be wearing this
EDIT: 16 cm wrist
Some 10 years ago, a Japanese Omega AD took the previous gen Speedmaster Professional (Cal. 1861) to have it pressure testeted. He played safe initially by removing the movement and tested the case alone but as the water pressure increased past 10 bar without air leak detected, he went on to full blown destructive test (with movement still removed). The case withstood the water pressure of 20 bar without leakage but eventually the case back collapsed at the water pressure of 25 bar. He also operated the pushbutton at the shallow depth of beach with his watch fully submerged and found no water ingress afterwards. That was plain impressive and since then, I started considering to buy a Speedmaster more seriously. Why not yet? There are too many to choose from!
I'd like to read that article. Any idea where its published?
@@michaelhayward107 Sorry, it was not an AD, but a vintage watch and watch repair service shop in Japan. Also, it seems I cannot put a direct link here either.
Please search using the keyword of "daiwatokeiten", and "impression7s", "impression8s", "impression9s" or "impression10s" they should appear on the top of search result.
They are in Japanese but Chrome should help translate them.
30m means 30m. Well done Omega! I love the 57, especially the bezel, jumping hour hand and the bracelet.
"in the illogical context of luxury watches". A sentence we've all said at some point
biggest problem with Omega is seen when one looks at their catalog from 1960-1979. Those were thin, timeless, gracefull watches, with classic mid-century styling. Today: thick, oversized watches, centered around 20,000 "limited editions". They cash in endlessly on the moonwatch, yet all of their other watches miss....BTW: huge props to Omega about their WR, and also your attention to the issue!
My impression is that larger & thicker watches must be cheaper to produce because of the larger tolerances to defects… Most brands are producing larger & thicker watches which are generally less elegant, graceful and timeless.
@@patrickjean-philippe7679no it is actually because of the co-axial escapement
3 mil more to boost the hype with a frankie too.
Their watches are still thinner than some of the competition. Take tudor for example, not only are their watches heinously thick and slab like, they do nothing to bevel the case flanks. At least omega's design their watches to wear thinner than they are. I have a speedmaster racing, white dial varrient for example. It's pretty thick on paper, but it doesn't wear that thick. Most new, modern generation chronograph watches are thick by nature, it's the features they have, the power reserve, and in the case of Omega, the coaxial escapement. It all just takes up more space. If you want a thin watch, stay away from a Chrono.
Every manufacturer is making larger thicker watches in comparisons the 60s average. It’s not great but it’s not uniquely an Omega problem.
Great video Evan!🤩Your perspectives are one of a kind
That's probably a compliment.
@@YoureTerrific Hahaha you're probably right :)
I've had one on the wrist. It really, really is a great piece. The fit is just right.
One of the only channels I watch even when I have zero interest in whatever watch is being talked about. Real nuanced takes that come from actually wearing and experiencing the watches.
The red colour really pops, very cool!
Great video! You never disappoint.
That is a stunning watch! Never really gave this much of a look but that burgundy dial is beautiful.
One cool feature to emphasise on these Omega movements is that you can change you Timezone without resetting your watch making them great travel watches. Nice points made about the obsession that permeates the Watch enthusiasts and industry to overdo the Historical references ad nauseam.
Fantastic watch, fantastic video! I'm saving for this watch!
Really great looking watch. Hard to choose tbe best color, but the red is certainly unique. I've thought about trading my Speedy Pro for a 57 but it's hard to give up such an iconic watch - plus I'm an engineer and the watch has a lot of sentimental value too.
Some of the best videos on the internet. Thank you!
You must have this channel confused with another.
So akshully... what a beautiful watch!
man the production quality on this video 🔥🔥🔥
The WR guarantee puts Omega one of my favourite watch maker, with all the ambiguity and confusion all the other brands are having, I am never confident whether I can take my 50m WR watch into the shower. Huge props to Omega. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I tried on the green version with leather strap. It’s a lovely watch. Already bought a IWC MKXX this year, so will wait to next year if I get this one.
I'm just glad that this is just one more watch I don't need to add to my wish list. Something about the hands or the date complication. Wellp happy hunting.
Been waiting for this one. I have the same SEVEN INCH WRIST and I think this looks perfect on yours. I like the Clooney (blue version). I have no Omega’s, but this may be my first. Looks perty.
Rill perty
I got the red one and it hasn't left my wrist since. I'm literally selling off other watches because this one is so good that I don't need the other ones. Also this is the first micro adjustment clasp I've ever had and it's perfect for me. No need for any more adjustments. My wrists don't change that much. My only knock is that I wish omega used a little more punchy colours on their dials. Side by side, a normal Seiko dial will outshine omega every time. But that's just a subjective thing.
I picked up the blue dial with metal bracelet last week. Took me 6mth to find it and absolutely love it. Its gorgeous in person.
@@Raven77844 congrats man. The wait makes it feel more special when u do get it👍. I think the blue is the hardest one to get.
I also find myself resistant to Omega, but I LOVE this dial.
This is a pretty watch but man I hate a lot of polishing on bracelets, specifically 3 link style.
That colour is delicious
Beautiful beautiful watch (I like the green one)
Damn inflation is crazy nearly 5 figures for a speedy. Powell keep those rates rising.
Good Video. Definetly have this watch on my radar. Its crazy cause this watch used to be 8k and now it rose to 9k. Definately should of pulled the trigger back then. But got my eye on the green dail for 2024 to 2025. This Tudor Black bay blue bezel
Crushed it as usual man!
It's strange how watches speak to people differently, i had to have the sandwhich dial variant. I like the vintage flair on a new watch, mostly because other people seem to dislike it so much... Great watch!
Check out the CK859. Might be more up your alley!
You are truly terrific! This has become my favorite watch related channel, and it’s not particularly close at the moment. Thank you for content, it’s always a pleasure seeing you have posted a new video. Please keep them coming!
The man with a Ploprof isn't sure he likes Omega? I bought mine and it's your fault... Still love mine!
BTW, I owned the previous '57. the 2013 version. It was an automatic with 100m WR. So this is a downgrade. But it was too thick and I sold it. This new version I had the opportunity to try on in Bienne, where I bought my Ploprof, and it's a great looking and very comfortable wear. Just wish it was an automatic without getting thicker.
The Ploprof wasn’t made by Omega. It was made by the Galactic Empire. It’s a Dreadnought class Star Destroyer.
@@YoureTerrific good point
Evan - always love your reviews. I actually bought this watch a few days ago in green and absolutely love it. FWIW - I do think you’re being a tad hard on Omega. But we’ll forgive you under the “for me” disclaimer 😂
The gang at ET are awesome. Got my Czapek there. If you’re in Naples definitely stop there.
I have two Omegas, a Speedy and a Globemaster. One is probably the most hyped Omega and the other is one of the most underrated. These new variants look really good, but one thing that annoys me with few Omegas, including the black dial variant here is that faux lume. They do the same thing on the Seamaster 300. Creamy or white lume would look so much better.
Excellent!
Great video 👍
Dammit. I have and wear daily (since shortly after it was announced) the 3861 Speedmaster moon watch, and I love but, but sometimes I just wish it were 2 mm smaller. This Speedmaster 57 seems to almost fit that wish. I need to try one on.
Sir, this is the bracelet police. I believe you have mounted that bracelet backwards. This is only a warning, but it will be noted.
Awesome review.
I enjoy Omega, they make beautiful watches.
I have the blue dial and its a phenominal piece. I could live without the date but its not a dealbreaker. Yeah, it takes a bit longer to set if I havent worn it for a while, but its not like it takes hours or even minutes to complete.
Good vid. 👍
Nice watch, i’m not he biggest speedy fan but would prefer the 41,5 57 white with blue markers in titanium.
Omega are a very good brand that make excellent watches but their marketing of late is distasteful and tedious.
This offering, especially in green, is a beautiful timepiece with an excellent movement.
One of the best in their line up. For me
I get the reluctance due to repeated and tenuous grasping of linkages to historical models, but I must say: the sandwiched and lumed indices is a nice nod to the ‘57.
I could take it or leave it with the fauxpatina.
Best review on this watch
That was refreshing, as in a cold drink. Let loose the shackles of nostalgia and move into the future.
Freedom!
I bought , I love it .
Love Omega!
Omega is a wonderful value brand and they are one of my favorites
🤣🤣🤣
Bonito Reloj Omega. 👏👏⌚️⌚️
This movement is absolutely amazing. I still hope they will release it in a wearable size some time (diameter
I've tried this on and it is very wearable. My wrists are right under 7 inches and it looks great.
It’s very very wearable.
It's way more wearable in person. Wears small even with the straight lugs.
If you're in to smaller watches, like 36mm and below, omega has reduced and other variants for you. I think in a modern era of watches, a man with something sub 40mm looks little strange.
Wow, damn fine watch...
There are actually many shots of people diving/swimming with Speedy's if you search for them. I've taken my 3867 swimming and it still works so yea...
Yup!🎉
Are the 60 minute chronograph counter quickly legible?
Never
I haven’t ever bought an Omega. Similar sentiments I guess.
There just hasn’t been one to win me over, over and above others I’ve chosen.
Some day I’m sure…
well done Omega on WR , does what it says on the tin
“ sounds like a euphemism for hospice care” 😂😂😂
super 🔥🔥🔥
About that water resistance. I think I go for the watches with 200/300 resistance so don’t have to think about it.
30/50 = worry, 100/150 = happy, 200/300 = don’t worry be happy.
Here’s an incredibly ununique perspective; I could live without that date window
Me, too!
What's the point of shrinking the dial diameter but keep the lugs unnecessarily long?
Solid video. But I don't know man, all of those gripes seem so negligible to me. Sure, there's downsides of manual wind, but also upsides like thickness, sure there's downsides of no quick set date, but huge upsides of quickset hour. Looking back to one's history can go overboard, but you'd also be crazy not to utilize such a rich history. Imo, for under 10k, that's one of the best and highest quality chronographs out there.
I have to agree, I thought a lot of the gripes were stretching it a bit. Especially the point about history which is one of the main marketing components of every big watch brand. Still a very good review.
no problem without a quick set date if you're winding it everyday 🙂🙂
I long ago decided I didn’t need a Speedmaster. I don’t need to time stuff. I have a 300 Diver however but I also don’t dive.
But dammit man, this has just shot to the top of the list.
And then off the list again. I was drawn in by the colour. Hand wound. No. Date. No. This is going to be even more costly to get serviced.
Stick that colour on an Aqua Terra with AR coating on the underside and we have a sale.
Something to add. Omega do specify the Seamaster 300m and 600m Chronos CAN be used underwater.
Lugs for days!
I’ll stay with my no-date, 11.9” thick, 100 meter water resistant JLC Polaris Chronograph, thank you.
Try to get your hands on an Omega Admiralty (aka the Anchoretta), an obscure model that came out in in 1970/71. Small size, vintage charm, out of step with today's Omega corporate culture. You'll like it, guaranteed.
If you had to choose, this one or the great side of the moon?
I strongly considered one of these. And I don't buy into the whole Speedmaster glorification. They just look great. But the manual winding and lack of on the fly adjustment let it down. Or at least question the price tag.
It has an on the fly adjustment, as much as Rolex puts in their non dive watch bracelets... Manual winding is something to enjoy, not dislike. I get you may be used to an automatic, but there is something about connecting with the watch every single day, getting to wind it etc, adds to the luxury watch experience, in my opinion.
50 or 30m ?
The burgundy one was my favorite of the new speedy 57 releases. Hard to swallow the 9K pill tho. Would rather get the classic moonwatch in hesalite for 3k less.
That's the thing about Omega for me: My opinion is that they change their collections so frequently, the only one I feel good about buying would be their iconic pieces like the moon watch professional.
@@tiderider I have the latest version of the blue smp as my omega. And for a chronograph I went with iwc Pilot's Chronograph 41 well before it hit current price point. But once watches hit over 8.5k, I automatically think I'd rather try to get a rolex for that type of money
@@joshuakaplan5726 I was gonna say that too about the price point, but I didn't want to start a war on here. You have some fine Timepieces.
I hope to own a Speedy before I go to my “comfort setting”
I'm pulling for you.
30m WR on the new Navitimer scared me when I bought it in November 2022, but after 6-7 months of wearing everything is fine, including accidentally washed 2-3 times, we are no longer discussing accuracy, even the mother of Rolex, I don't think it has 3 seconds advance in 30 days of wearing! Go Breitling!
I need to ask Breitling about their ratings. I would love a new Navi.
@@YoureTerrific Please do ask. I would love the new Navi but the 30m WR is one of the main reasons why I haven't got one yet!
@@YoureTerrific navi is no for water is a land watch because the bezel move with glass too, and you know that, in manual breitling said that the case is protected but not for swim because the case has another structure, but atention, navi are 2 gaskets not one on the crown like Avi for example, Navi has a special gasket between bezel and case, and I think Breitling not permit that an 9-10K euro watch not to be well protected even the recomandation is not for swim and in last clip of company of quality control all the watches are submerged and tested even if they don`t recomand this, and i think the point of view of all Breitling ambasadors is the same like mine.
I would buy the nivada chronomaster!
I like the 57, not a fan of 3 dial chronographs,
But christopher ward have a nice looking quartz 3 dial chronograph
Iwc does it similarly. Happily wear my Iwc chrono swimming
I’ve heard something like that. I need to do some research.
@@YoureTerrific they say it on their website but I only got around to testing it last week in the ocean
Is that Arial or Helvetica?
An example of our insanity: Apple market their watch (with 50m) WR as a fully fledged water sports ready monster, meanwhile watch guys are doing full pre-flight checks before doing the washing up…
First off apple isn't a watch. Its a phone you were on your wrist. Second I never do pre-flight I just wash my hands I wear proper watch's with at least 100m water resistance lol. If it doesn't have gears its not a watch lol. Just like a Tesla is not a performance car lol.
@@daleyfamily2179but that’s wrong. Quartz watches are definitely watches, but don’t have gears.
@@Hank-fj8kr Digital/LCD quartz watches don't (generally) have gears. Analog quartz watches certainly do. Because those hands don't just move by magic, you know?
A proper watch has 100 meters WR. A proper “dive watch” has 200 meter or better. You can dive with a Datejust though …
@@tangoESPECIAL so any Cartier, JLC, dress watches aren’t watches because they are 10-50 meters? Makes 0 sense.
It’s a few grand too expensive. But I love it.
I really don’t understand how anyone can have an issue with omega. They’re objectively fantastic watches in every category except for public perception
No problem with "public" otherwise they wouldn't be selling that many watches.
RUclipsrs tend to think they are the greater majority when Infact it's not true at all. They tend to hear their own voices. Take Tudor... it's much hyped as if everybody loves them.but market realities are totally different from RUclips perception. Longines is far ahead of Tudor in market share.
Likewise the moonswatch, for all the so called hate among so called RUclips experts...they sell a lot of those. And I've seen many rich folks including many of my friends with expensive exotic watches buying and wearing them.
Am not referring to you btw, pls don't take this the wrong way.
@@Mega-zi7ys I appreciate your input, and definitely know where you’re coming from no offense taken! Yeah that makes a ton of sense, I personally think they as well as grand Seiko are better than Rolex (and Im not hating on Rolex Im a fan of Rolex, I know they have iconic watches and that’s why they’re so beloved) but I do think omega and GS would be selling more than Rolex if everyone on earth was a watch nerd that cared about these things haha.
Your upside down case spinning skills are wheel of fortune level.
I’d like to buy a Ω, Pat.
Omega make very high quality watches, i had the the aqua terra and SMP 300. Absolute beuts.
However, omega seems to keep forgeting that these are wrist watches and the lack of adjustments on the bracelet is so disappointing that I ended selling both.
Tudor’s new t-fit bracelet tho, now those are awesome
Current SMP 300 has on the fly micro adjustment. Aqua terra does not and it is such a pity
@@gaspa4ooo ooo maaan really for SMP 300? Thats nice.
Yeah it is a pity for the AT
@@normang663 Yes for SMP 300 Diver, but note that it is not available for the Seamaster 300 which is a different watch and omega vintage inspired model.
I wonder if that WR policy extends to the rest of the group?
Logically, a depth rating should always be safe at that depth whereas a pressure rating is clearly a combination of depth and movement and so Omega are merely doing what everyone should always have been doing, and Swatch Group as a whole should be doing it too.
What does it say that we're all so surprised & impressed by a watch firm 'not' bending the truth?!
If I had microbrand I would label our dive watch as "dishwasher safe" just for fun Cheers!
Thumb up for showing the watch from the start, its so rare. In 2023 LOT of trash "creators" showing themselfes all video and the watch covers 10% of the screen from 2 meters. Trash narcissism
prize plz
I hope that one has all of it's original parts and wasn't Frankensteined.
You’re missing out… We really should pick a couple of your favorites and wear them
That bombshell about waterproofiness very nearly trumps the real star of this watch, its clockface chrono dial which makes it easier to read elapsed time than nearly every other chronograph. If it had a flyback it'd objectively be the best chronograph in the world (alongside the IWC Yachtclub, to my knowledge the only watch to share those two features).
PS the pushers on my chronograph are designed to be used under water 🤣✌️
If it’s METAS certified than yes 50m = 50m.
..... if you are so worried about the depth rating just buy a cheap Steeldive and if it fails at 300M buy a slightly more expensive Helm next time ..... and no I'm not even considering taking my brand new 3861 Speedmaster anywhere near the water as I've got a whole raft of dive watches for that exact job ........
I don’t think Omega linking this to a prior model is a dilemma at all: otherwise great watches with no historical link are always decried as “having no heritage”
🎉🎉🎉 Shiny Watch on a SEVEN INCH WRIST 🎉🎉🎉
"a euphemism for hospice care." 😆
I still haven’t pulled the trigger on my Omega moon watch grail. It was suppose to happen on July 21 2019. Then just as my trigger finger touched the trigger Omega launched a super expensive 321 calibre Speedmaster. Yet another speedmaster, too many! Too many versions and homages of homages. Wtf are they doing? So no Omega for me until I can see the wood for the trees.
Погодите, погодите. Я не ослышался? Дата без квик-сета? В двадцать первом веке? И это за сколько тысяч долларов?
