In a banner year for Omega, 1957 saw the release of not one, but three flagship models that went on to become classic timepieces: the Seamaster 300, the Railmaster and the Speedmaster.
For its 60th anniversary, Omega has relauched all three as a trilogy set, with each watch faithfully reproduced using a laser-scan of the 1957 models to perfectly recapture the original dimensions. Each updated watch also has the same signature feature as its namesake.
The Railmaster, designed for scientists, engineers and technicians, is powered by the 8806 caliber Omega Master Chronometer, which resists magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. Like the original Speedmaster, which was the first timepiece in the world to do so, the Limited Edition version comes with its Tachymeter scale etched into the bezel - a feature intended for racing drivers. The set is presented in an oak box with extra NATO and leather straps. Finally, the Seamaster retains the Naïad symbol to mark its exceptional water resistance. £16,000
