Omega has updated their Speedmaster collection of watches. The new watch, called the Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial, gives an iconic twist to the original Speedmaster from 1957.
This watch introduces some very stylish new updates to the classic design. The new dial, available in both black and silver finishes, features the unique Geneva Waves pattern. The chronograph counters are surrounded by applied rings encompassing a beehive structure background. This look updates the watch to the next century. The rings of the sub-dial are black on the silver dial and vice versa on the black dial.

The watch comes in at a large 44.25mm, but still retains the case shape that we are all familiar with. The case is still made of stainless steel. The watch is powered by Omega-exclusive Co-Axial calibre 3313. The movement is a COSC-certified column wheel chronometer. The unique aspect of the movement is the fact that the hour hand can be adjusted independently of the minute and second hands. This is ideal for those who travel between time zones.
The movement is a robust movement and as such Omega is able to offer a three year warranty on the watch. Even the time between scheduled service has been increased.

The watch features a sapphire crystal display back and has a water resistant rating of 100m. It is comes with a choice of black alligator strap or stainless steel bracelet. The watch is expected to retail at about USD 6,000 for the alligator and USD 100 more for the steel bracelet.
