That railmaster is everything that is wrong with the world (and also Omega). It's a homage watch with faux patina, a fabricated story, artificial scarcity and a x3 price tag. It's designed for middle-aged men who need to be able to justify an expensive watch as an "investment piece" but wont go to the effort of tracking down a real vintage watch.
Don't fall for the marketing hype, this is a company that has totally lost its way and is coasting on its brand heritage. Pretty much everything Omega sell now except maybe the speedmaster pro is a reissue of something they stopped selling in the 70's/80's.
