The three Holy Grail constitute the Omega now

As early as the 1920s, many watch brands began to study the high waterproof performance of the watch case. Omega started from the special case design of the Marine watch in the 1930s to explore the waterproof performance of the watch. However, in modern times, we are familiar with the diving watch design, in fact, it was actually in the 1950s before the real being arrived. One of Blancpain 50 is the first to have the outline of the modern universal diving watch design, the other Rolex Submariner and the birth of the Omega Seamaster series, and further to dive watch the basic classic appearance confirmed. But inside in the 1950s, also made a diving watch not only the classic appearance of more than half a century, other functional watches designed for special circumstances, such as workers: health professionals, scientists and other professionals often in high magnetic environment special R & D of high anti-magnetic mechanical watch is also on the rise, and entered another stage of the study of the performance of mechanical watches, mechanical watches in the 1950s almost become a watch professional performance competitive stage.

May also be because of strong opponents, as the backbone of a century mechanical watch brand: Omega, made a pioneering work in 1957, and therefore lay Omega modern watchmaking and watch design an important classical position. Talking about the most popular Omega watch model in the past 30 years, it can be said that in 1957, the classic design that we have always relished until now has been generally respected. 1957 OMEGA released three breath-taking classic watches known for professional performance: the hippocampus 300 watch, iron tyrants and super hegemony watches, and these three classic watches have also become the most important modern Omega, representing the promotion of tabulation Professional performance of the three series watch.

Among these three classic styles, the Seamaster 300, which is not the first diving watch owned by Omega, has offset the original look of the Seamaster series and the subsequent design of the hippocampus watches. Hippocampus Seamaster300 watch waterproof depth of more than 200 meters, breaking the hippocampus 200 before the waterproof performance limit, it was named the hippocampus 300, to today's original hippocampus Seamaster300 antique watches is still the collection area, one of the most legendary watches .

2017 Basel watch show in Switzerland to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the birth of the three classic watch limited edition set to reproduce 1957 Omega performance in the professional performance and classic, hippocampus 300 watch also re-original style Appear in front of us.

2017 Omega launched the three classic watch limited edition set, in order to reproduce every detail of the original watch, in particular the use of high-end digital scanning technology, the three antique watch completely reproduce.

Hippocampus 300 watch in 1957 when the size slightly larger than the other diving watch at the same level, the original 39 mm diameter, Rolex Submariner slightly larger than that year a little thicker, the antique 1957 Hippocampus 300 watch was numbered CK2913, Equipped with Cal.28 SC-501 automatic movement, and discontinued after seven years, during the small change several times: such as the CK14755 in the 1960s and the late 1964 launched a new generation of 300 hippocampus style. Due to the popularity of the Vintage Hippocampus 300 watch, the circulation of the watch collection in the collection market is extremely confusing and confusing. As a result, the perfect and perfect Vintage Hippocampus 300 watch has a very high collection value.

The 2017 Omega Replica Seychelles 300 retains several contemporary design features: a black rotatable bezel but the 2017 version is made of aluminum and for technical reasons it was made of synthetic resin in 1957 (this is also the case for the antique Seahorse 300 Watch is not easy to maintain the perfect phase of one of the reasons); black rotating bezel and the mirror there is a layer of metal bezel between 12 o'clock position there is a convex point, which is also preserved since 1957 Original Hippocampus 300 watch in the Case on the special and outstanding design. Crown retains the design known as Na ad: that is, the crown in addition to the Omega logo logo, the center of the logo more than a inverted "Y" -type engraved pattern (which is also the trilogy that year each table has Characteristics).

Omega professional classic watch that year, I think the most pessimistic is the Railmaster Titanium watch, and its legend is more than hippocampus 300 watch. At that time, the iron tyrant was designed for high anti-magnetic properties and was comparable to the Milgauss Rolex launched in 1954 (when IWC's anti-magnetic watch was made in 1955). Iron Brake watch in 1957 to 1000 Gaussian anti-magnetic ability to demonstrate Omega watch on the production of professional, but the original Iron Brake watch was launched in 1963 after the shutdown, and later the track of the Iron Pa has been unknown, Railmaster iron tyrants this name will appear in the name of a series, will also appear in a special limited edition style, but the overall iron tyrants series really no longer see, so Omega lovers gradually forgotten the existence of tyrants. The three classic engraved, Iron Pa's "comeback" is actually rare.

I prefer the simplicity of the Railmaster, but also because of the simplicity, so in the modern version of the iron armor will increase the watch diameter, it seems a lack of balance. Perhaps so, I would like to like the three classic limited edition engraved models introduced at the 2017 Basel Watch Fair in Switzerland to reproduce the 38 mm diameter case design.

The reason why iron tyrants so vigorous and more full than other models lines, mostly from the same year to create a dual-component case of high anti-magnetic properties of the design. In 1957, the original version of the Iron Bra No. CK2914 was even 2.5 times more thick than a normal face plate for even higher diamagnetism.

2017 version of the iron version of the original Iron Tyrus simple but thick appearance to reproduce that, like the other two models, have chosen the "Tropical (tropical)" antique light brown time scale, and has Luminous effect.

Omega emphasizes the professional performance of the three classic watch, the most iconic common element of the hippocampus and Iron Ba watch is the design of the time scale: triangular pyramid-type time scale with these two tables are in 3,6,9, 12 short pyramid with short Arabic numerals, while the other 8 are marked with an elongated triangular pyramid.

In these three classic professional watch, Speedmaster super dominate the dominant position in 1957, Omega in order to race car project designed the first Speedmaster CK2915 chronograph, designed by the designer Claude Baillod by the Omega design team Guide Pierre Moinat led the completion of the birth of the first super-speed watch became Omega's most classic and most popular watch models. However, production in 1957 to stop production in 1959, CK2915 super hegemony chronograph, its output can be imagined, so some people say that to buy a Rolex perfect piece of antique Daytona code table may be better than one 1957 original CK2915 super master chronograph is much simpler.

All three of the three classic limited edition watches in 2017, although all in line with the appearance of the original 1957 presentation, but the Iron Typhoon and hippocampus 300 models are equipped with the highest performance Omega Celestine movement and enjoy 4 years of after-sales service to ensure that the iron tyrant equipped with 8806 core anti-magnetic capacity of up to 15000 Gauss. Among the only Super Memorial commemorative models equipped with the famous 1861 Omega watch winding chronograph movement, the original version of the 1957 version of the shuttle is equipped with a 321 yards movement, and later in the acquisition of 861 movement in 1971, and later in 1996 1861 manual winding chronograph movement replaced the 861 chronograph movement, so 2017 new limited edition commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Shuttle carrying this one 1861 chronograph movement more meaningful and memorable, although not with the other two Innovative movement design with coaxial escapement and a longer period of warranty, but a rare classic watch movement is fortunate.

Supermaster, Tyrant and the hippocampus 300 These three models in the Omega world like the status of the Holy Grail as the classic watch, almost can be said that the essence of the concentration of Omega watch essence, and since then more established Omega watches in the professional performance to create On the status and design contours.

Now our favorite supermaster, hippocampus series are 60 years ago, have set a landmark like a classic look. Today, the three holy grail set to come out again in a limited manner, and set the global sale of 557 sets, or rare or attractive.
