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.

That not a real speedy ..
I tried on the trilogy version when they came out and apart from the bracelet I really liked it; surely a good investment . I bought the sea master 300 trilogy in th end , which I then swapped for the Railmaster trilogy .

Trilogy? Trilogy? Trilogy?

Not an authentic heritage reissue Speedy but I think it’s totally valid as a modern take on the basic ‘57 design language.
