Luxury Replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch vs. Speedmaster ’57

When it comes to chronograph replica watches, the Omega Speedmaster is easily one of the most famous.

The Omega Speedmaster ‘57

Omega first introduced the Speedmaster chronograph specifically for motorsports in 1957 as part of a trilogy of professional watches – the other two were the Seamaster 300 dive watch and the Railmaster antimagnetic watch.

The Luxury Omega Speedmaster Replica was the first chronograph to move the tachymeter scale from the dial to the bezel for better legibility.

Another common design trait across all Speedmaster ’57 watches are round symmetrical cases with straight lugs and no crown guards. Other nods to the first Speedy found across some Speedmaster ’57 models include the Broad Arrow hands, the three-link steel bracelet, and beige-colored lume to mimic the patina that develops with age.

Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch

The Grade One Replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch models are stainless steel chronographs with 42mm cases, black tachymeter bezels, black dials, and hand-wound movements. The cases of the Moonwatch professionals are asymmetric, characterized by twisted lugs and crown guards.

Today, Omega Replica offers the choice of Hesalite crystals (like the vintage versions) or modern scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, along with the option of a matching steel bracelet or black leather strap. Moreover, those Moonwatch models with sapphire crystals on the dial-side also have sapphire on the display caseback for a view of the movement inside.
