Omega Speedmaster Broadarrow 1957 Rose Gold

A brown dial is always beautiful... I saw one with the SS case ( a Traditionnal Speed ), and the combo was beautiful. When the brown dial is supposed to recall the radium dials of some vintage watches, I agree. When it is used to " surf " on the fashion, I'm less ok. Omega did it, Panerai launched the " Brown Fashion" in 1997 with the Pam 21, and 2 years later, with the 36... On this Spped you showin your pics, I have mixed feelings...A tool watch? Not anymore.... Nice, yes, but where is the spi

The Broadarrow in rose gold and steel is hardly a tool watch. That being said, my favourite Speedmaster is not the original Moonwatch - which for some reason I never liked despite owning several - but the Broadarrow in steel with blue hands and markers like this: Somehow the colour combination and design just works IMHO. - SJX This message has been edited by SJX on 2008-06-01 05:41:22

. . . of a watch that has evolved for half a century . . . this automatic version retains much of the heritage of the original, but not nearly enough to be a direct lineal descendant. The automatic movement with date function along with the constantly running seconds hand sans numerals shifts this model away from the direct line of descent, but fortunately there's a limited edition brown dial Speedmaster that can be considered "pure" . . .

But didn't know it was a LE! Nice piece, indeed! Best. Nicolas

but not a nice Speedmaster IHMO. I prefer vintage chocolate ;-)

. . . my understanding is that it's going to be of 'limited production', and there's no way of knowing when the production run will end. I used the term 'limited edition' loosely, as that implies a numbering scheme, which isn't the case here. Thanks for catching my inadvertent error . . . ;-) . . . cordially, Art
