Omega boutique had one of the new ‘57 Speedmasters in and, unsurprisingly, I have opinions about it.
Positives:
Great movement - looks great, feels great.
The bracelet is the best I've ever seen on an Omega, hands down. Top drawer. Really smooth and expensive feeling and a very nice clasp with the push button microadjust.
Negatives:
Case is overbuffed with not-great brushing and distorted surfaces - much worse case finishing than my FOIS
Fauxtina, obviously
Laser engraved bezel markings are too light
Chrono seconds hand and the date were both misaligned
Nice watch with some real standout aspects (especially that bracelet), let down by some poor QC and finishing.
