Sandwich dials have always commanded a sense of mystery and luxury, with very few brands dipping their toes into the genre despite its popularity. Omega surprised many with its release of a second generation for the Omega Speedmaster ’57 in 2022, now featuring a sandwich dial construction against any semblance of vintage accuracy. Whether or not the original Broad Arrow watches used this technique, we can’t deny that it creates an absolutely stunning effect on this new watch thanks to the added depth of the aged Super-LumiNova. Andrew recently visited Greg Kissling, the VP of Product with Omega, to figure out exactly what goes into building a sandwich dial.

The Omega Speedmaster ’57 in its new form is available now from Omega boutiques and authorised dealers. Price: $12,725 AUD (on leather) / $12,200 AUD (on bracelet).

DESCRIPTION​

The Speedmaster is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces. Having been a part of all six lunar missions, the timepiece is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit.
This 40.50 mm model, inspired by the legendary 1957 original, features a stainless steel case and a black dial with recessed hour markers showing vintage Super-LumiNova from beneath. Along with rhodium-plated “Broad Arrow” hands, there is a date window at 6 o'clock, a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, and 12-hour and 60-minute chronograph recorders on the subdial at 3 o’clock.
The brushed bezel includes a blackened tachymeter scale, while on the caseback, there is a “Speedmaster ‘57” engraving as well as a flat sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment inside.
The watch is presented on a matching bracelet with OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system, and is driven by the manual-winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9906.

:wink: Thanks for posting this one up, Mike.:hat:
 
can't argue with the beauty of this piece. A bit small for my taste. I'll stick with the moon watch but I wouldn't say no if someone bought me a present.... lol

----------
Today, we'll be talking Speedmaster... But not about the #moonwatch! Today, we're taking a closer look at another watch from the Speedy collection, the recent and stunning Omega Speedmaster 57 hand-wound. Smaller, a bit less bulky, more refined, hand-wound… many aspects of the Omega Speedmaster 57 have changed to the point of not being an evolution of the collection, but an entirely new watch. And now, with this in mind, the real question is: could this Speedmaster 57 be better than a Moonwatch Professional? Let's find out with MONOCHROME's managing editor Brice Goulard telling you everything about the Speed57 and how it compares to the Speedmaster Moonwatch.

;) Thanks for adding this, Mike.:hat:
nice hand wind 2-eye sandwich

new old radium not my thing... getting old waiting for the " hoola hoop-slinky-etch-a-sketch-troll doll -beanie baby fad " to go away

old radium made peeps sick REMEMBER THE RADIUM GIRLS RIP

in vintage even invisible old radium requires haz mat suit to handle ...i think that is '73 and older ( using my fallible pachyderm not @roadwarrior 's google machine )
