Omega: The "Broad Arrow" Family
Known today by collectors as “The Holy Trinity”, the Seamaster 300 (ref. CK 2913), Railmaster (ref. CK 2914), and the Speedmaster (ref. CK 2915) were introduced in 1957 to make Omega competitive in one of the fastest growing segments of the watch market: professional tool watches. These were followed swiftly with the release of a fourth model, the Ranchero aka "The Fourth Musketeer", in 1958. Arthur Touchot breaks down what makes each watch individually unique and explains why together, the "Broad Arrow" models form one of the most successful product launches of the 20th century.
