  • Catalogue Essay

    Omega struck gold in 1957. The Swiss watchmaker introduced three different sport watches that year that would go on to change everything – not only for Omega, but for the entire watch world. Sixty years after those watches – the Speedmaster ref. CK2915, the Seamaster 300 ref. CK2913, and the Railmaster ref. 2914 – were first released, Omega went back to the archives in 2017 to create a limited-edition box set of 557 pieces that contained newly recreated versions of all three watches.

    These weren’t your run-of-the-mill reissues, either. Omega used a pioneering digital scanning technology to recreate the exact look and feel of the original watches for the modern world. All three watches are made of brushed-and-polished stainless steel with straight lugs connected to a flat steel bracelet with the iconic vintage Omega logo on the clasp. No detail was spared – even the crystals feature a subtle engraved Omega signature at the center, just like you’d find on an original example.

    The three-watch set comes inside a beautiful wooden box made of Swiss oak that’s engraved with Omega’s recognizable hippocampus logo and the historic year of 1957, alongside a plaque displaying the exact limited-edition number (out of 557 sets). The dials of all three watches also incorporate the specific limited-edition number underneath the "Trilogy" wordmark at 12 o'clock. Inside the wooden box is a travel case made of red leather, a leather travel roll, a strap changing tool, extra spring bars, three leather straps, and three nylon straps.

    If you missed out on this special anniversary box set of three of watchmaking’s most iconic sport watches when it was first released, there’s no better time to remedy that than here, with this fully complete, new-old-stock set that’s never been worn.

  • Artist Biography

    Omega

    Swiss • 1848

    Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.

    Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
