Launched in 1957 as part of the Professional trilogy, the Speedmaster was the first chronograph in the world to move the tachymeter scale from the dial to the outer bezel; a revolutionary engineering choice designed specifically for Grand Prix drivers. This allowed racers to calculate speed and distance with a single glance while keeping their eyes on the apex of a turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eIn the late 1950s, the Speedmaster wasn't an astronaut’s tool; it was a high-performance instrument for the gentleman racer. It was built for the vibration of a steering wheel and the heat of a cockpit, long before NASA ever subjected it to the vacuum of space. The 2017 60th Anniversary edition is a meticulous time capsule that returns the Speedmaster to this exact \"pre-space\" era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Original Racing DNA: Ref. 311.10.39.30.01.001\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe ref. 311.10.39.30.01.001 is a 1:1 digital scan of the original 1957 CK2915, capturing the \"Broad Arrow\" aesthetic that predates the Moonwatch's more famous silhouette. It is a masterclass in nostalgic engineering, prioritizing the raw, mechanical feel of the early motorsport age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003eThe Broad Arrow Aesthetic:\u003c\/b\u003e The iconic hour hand and tropical faded dial are direct links to the 1950s paddock.

This all-steel look is the hallmark of the original racing Speedmaster, giving it a rugged, industrial weight that feels more like a piece of engine machinery than a piece of aerospace equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003eThe Motorsport Connection:\u003c\/b\u003e This reference represents the pre-NASA purity of the Speedmaster. It utilizes a 38.6mm case; significantly more compact than the later Professional models, mirroring the slim, aerodynamic proportions of the 1950s sports cars it was meant to time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe 60th Anniversary Speedmaster is a reminder that while the moon gave the watch its fame, the racetrack gave it its soul.

This Reference 311.10.39.30.01.001 is a 1:1 digital scan of the original 1957 CK2915, arguably the most significant Omega ever produced, yet it remains an oddly overlooked gem within the vast Speedmaster library.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"atI7vU\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"fdwg1D\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt 38.6mm, the case is a revelation. It eschews the Professional twisted lugs we’ve grown accustomed to in favor of the straight-lug architecture that launched the legacy. The watch feels undeniably neo-vintage the moment it is strapped to the wrist, occupying that elusive sweet spot of sizing that balances mid-century charm with the uncompromising reliability of a modern Calibre 1861.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"atI7vU\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"fdwg1D\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe dial features the broad-arrow handset and the Base 1000 tachymeter scale that defines the '57 aesthetic. While it appears as a deep, tropical-leaning black in most settings, the subtle matte texture catches the light to reveal a warmth that photos struggle to capture—an effect that mirrors the aging process of a museum-grade original without the fragile liability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"atI7vU\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"fdwg1D\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Broad Arrow hands and the recessed sub-dials give the face an incredible sense of dimensionality. It is a design that, while commanding unobtainable prices in its original 1950s form, provides the exact same visual weight and historical gravity in this anniversary edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"atI7vU\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"fdwg1D\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile this watch has been enjoyed on all its various straps, it has lived primarily on its original steel bracelet, which features the retro-inspired flat-link design and the vintage Omega logo. Offered in beautiful condition, the watch has been meticulously cared for as a personal cornerstone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Split-second Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57113746080076,"sku":"SSW00055","price":5400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0422\/2540\/files\/Shopify-Master-Product-2048x2048_SSW00055_Hero.jpg?v=1774809475","url":"https:\/\/splitsecondwatches.com\/products\/2017-omega-speedmaster-60th-anniversary-ref-311-10-39-30-01-001","provider":"Split-second Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
