I just picked up the 57 with a blue dial on a metal bracelet last week. It took me 6mths to find this colour and I absolutely LOVE IT.. Its gorgeous in person and so comfortable to wear. Its a keeper for me

I have to give it to Omega for making 30 meters great again. I never knew that.

Thank you for including the weight! I can't understand why more reviewers (and brands in general) don't include the weight of the watch. It makes such a difference in terms of deciding comfort and daily wearability (based on personal preference) . Kudos to you for including this info and I hope you continue to do so on future videos.

"in the illogical context of luxury watches". A sentence we've all said at some point

Some 10 years ago, a Japanese Omega AD took the previous gen Speedmaster Professional (Cal. 1861) to have it pressure testeted. He played safe initially by removing the movement and tested the case alone but as the water pressure increased past 10 bar without air leak detected, he went on to full blown destructive test (with movement still removed). The case withstood the water pressure of 20 bar without leakage but eventually the case back collapsed at the water pressure of 25 bar. He also operated the pushbutton at the shallow depth of beach with his watch fully submerged and found no water ingress afterwards. That was plain impressive and since then, I started considering to buy a Speedmaster more seriously. Why not yet? There are too many to choose from!

The transition at 2:01 was very clean! Thanks for the review, I wasn't aware of the change from 2013 to 2015. If anyone is curious there is a very good looking version from the prior generation with a white dial and in titanium. I really wanted to fall in love with this watch 57' ( the burgundy in particular). The proportions seemed perfect for me but once I tried it on the bracelet it didn't fit right, and I tried it on a few different times to double check. I was surprised considering I don't mind the fit of the Speedmaster Pro. So for now as a Speedy guy I will sit in my corner and cry as I won't be wearing this EDIT: 16 cm wrist

30m means 30m. Well done Omega! I love the 57, especially the bezel, jumping hour hand and the bracelet.

That is a stunning watch! Never really gave this much of a look but that burgundy dial is beautiful.

biggest problem with Omega is seen when one looks at their catalog from 1960-1979. Those were thin, timeless, gracefull watches, with classic mid-century styling. Today: thick, oversized watches, centered around 20,000 "limited editions". They cash in endlessly on the moonwatch, yet all of their other watches miss....BTW: huge props to Omega about their WR, and also your attention to the issue!

Their watches are still thinner than some of the competition. Take tudor for example, not only are their watches heinously thick and slab like, they do nothing to bevel the case flanks. At least omega's design their watches to wear thinner than they are. I have a speedmaster racing, white dial varrient for example. It's pretty thick on paper, but it doesn't wear that thick. Most new, modern generation chronograph watches are thick by nature, it's the features they have, the power reserve, and in the case of Omega, the coaxial escapement. It all just takes up more space. If you want a thin watch, stay away from a Chrono.

Every manufacturer is making larger thicker watches in comparisons the 60s average. It’s not great but it’s not uniquely an Omega problem.

The red colour really pops, very cool!

I've had one on the wrist. It really, really is a great piece. The fit is just right.

One of the only channels I watch even when I have zero interest in whatever watch is being talked about. Real nuanced takes that come from actually wearing and experiencing the watches.

Really great looking watch. Hard to choose tbe best color, but the red is certainly unique. I've thought about trading my Speedy Pro for a 57 but it's hard to give up such an iconic watch - plus I'm an engineer and the watch has a lot of sentimental value too.

I got the red one and it hasn't left my wrist since. I'm literally selling off other watches because this one is so good that I don't need the other ones. Also this is the first micro adjustment clasp I've ever had and it's perfect for me. No need for any more adjustments. My wrists don't change that much. My only knock is that I wish omega used a little more punchy colours on their dials. Side by side, a normal Seiko dial will outshine omega every time. But that's just a subjective thing.

I have two Omegas, a Speedy and a Globemaster. One is probably the most hyped Omega and the other is one of the most underrated. These new variants look really good, but one thing that annoys me with few Omegas, including the black dial variant here is that faux lume. They do the same thing on the Seamaster 300. Creamy or white lume would look so much better.

Is that Arial or Helvetica?

Dammit. I have and wear daily (since shortly after it was announced) the 3861 Speedmaster moon watch, and I love but, but sometimes I just wish it were 2 mm smaller. This Speedmaster 57 seems to almost fit that wish. I need to try one on.

That colour is delicious

Evan - always love your reviews. I actually bought this watch a few days ago in green and absolutely love it. FWIW - I do think you’re being a tad hard on Omega. But we’ll forgive you under the “for me” disclaimer 😂

Something to add. Omega do specify the Seamaster 300m and 600m Chronos CAN be used underwater.

Try to get your hands on an Omega Admiralty (aka the Anchoretta), an obscure model that came out in in 1970/71. Small size, vintage charm, out of step with today's Omega corporate culture. You'll like it, guaranteed.

Omega are a very good brand that make excellent watches but their marketing of late is distasteful and tedious. This offering, especially in green, is a beautiful timepiece with an excellent movement. One of the best in their line up. For me

Best review on this watch

Solid video. But I don't know man, all of those gripes seem so negligible to me. Sure, there's downsides of manual wind, but also upsides like thickness, sure there's downsides of no quick set date, but huge upsides of quickset hour. Looking back to one's history can go overboard, but you'd also be crazy not to utilize such a rich history. Imo, for under 10k, that's one of the best and highest quality chronographs out there.

I long ago decided I didn’t need a Speedmaster. I don’t need to time stuff. I have a 300 Diver however but I also don’t dive. But dammit man, this has just shot to the top of the list. And then off the list again. I was drawn in by the colour. Hand wound. No. Date. No. This is going to be even more costly to get serviced. Stick that colour on an Aqua Terra with AR coating on the underside and we have a sale.

I wonder if that WR policy extends to the rest of the group? Logically, a depth rating should always be safe at that depth whereas a pressure rating is clearly a combination of depth and movement and so Omega are merely doing what everyone should always have been doing, and Swatch Group as a whole should be doing it too. What does it say that we're all so surprised & impressed by a watch firm 'not' bending the truth?!

I strongly considered one of these. And I don't buy into the whole Speedmaster glorification. They just look great. But the manual winding and lack of on the fly adjustment let it down. Or at least question the price tag.

Wtf are they doing? So no Omega for me until I can see the wood for the trees.

That bombshell about waterproofiness very nearly trumps the real star of this watch, its clockface chrono dial which makes it easier to read elapsed time than nearly every other chronograph. If it had a flyback it'd objectively be the best chronograph in the world (alongside the IWC Yachtclub, to my knowledge the only watch to share those two features). PS the pushers on my chronograph are designed to be used under water 🤣✌️
