Omega Speedmaster ’57 (Blue Dial)

The Speedmaster '57 is the modern reissue of the original 1957 Speedmaster — the watch that started everything before the moon, before NASA, before the cultural weight that the Moonwatch carries today. The '57 reissue returns to the asymmetric case, the broad arrow hands, and the proportions of the first generation. The blue dial is a departure from the original black, which places it in the category of collector variant rather than strict historical recreation.

Blue on a Speedmaster is rarer than it should be, given how well the combination works. The '57 case — with its asymmetric crown guards and broader lugs — wears differently from the classic Moonwatch, sitting lower on the wrist and reading as a more intimate watch. For collectors who want the Speedmaster lineage without the Moonwatch crowds, the '57 in blue is the considered choice.
