Let’s start 2022 immediately with a bang: OMEGA, in fact, has just presented the Speedmaster Caliber 321 in Canopus Gold. The OMEGA Speedmaster was designed for professional racing car drivers and was perfectly legible; it was also the first in the world to be equipped with a tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of on the dial. Inspired by the first Speedmaster, known as the CK2915-1, the version that I present today celebrates the 65th anniversary of the collection, with a 38.6 mm case made of 18-karat Canopus GoldTM, OMEGA’s exclusive white gold alloy. distinguished by its brilliance and longevity. To create an effect of absolute contrast, the watch was equipped with an intense black onyx dial with applied vintage OMEGA logo and with a typeface depicting an oval “O”, a typical detail of the first CK2915 models. The hands are in 18K white gold and the indexes in Canopus GoldTM coated with PVD. Also featured are the three classic Speedmaster counters, including the small seconds display, the 30-minute and 12-hour counter as well as the central chronograph function. Of course, the famous tachymeter scale could not be missing. The bezel is presented in “Grand Feu” black enamel and, if you look closely, you will notice two of the details of the original Speedmaster: the iconic “Dot Over 90” (DON) and a diagonal dot at 70. Perhaps the most However, the movement that animates the watch is the most sought after among all. Caliber 321 is the original movement used within the Speedmaster in 1957 which also powered the watches worn during the Apollo missions, including all six moon landings. Since 2019 fake OMEGA has put the Caliber 321 back into production, scrupulously preserving all its original features. If you turn the clock upside down, you will discover another tribute to the anniversary of the collection. Inside the sapphire crystal has been added the engraving of OMEGA’s seahorse, a brand icon used on the Speedmaster since 1957. Its eye has been crafted with a sparkling blue sapphire, a precious jewel that traditionally marks the 65th anniversary. The Speedmaster Caliber 321 has an 18K Canopus GoldTM gold bracelet with a convenient adjustment system and is presented in a special wooden box. Crafted with a rosewood pattern, the box features a shape and design inspired by the original Speedmaster boxes that customers received in 1957.high quality replica watches uk
