Introduction of Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus Gold Watch Replica

Introduction of Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus Gold Watch Replica

On the first SpeedyTuesday (Tuesday Speedmaster Day) in 2022, the famous Swiss professional watch brand Omega released its first blockbuster new product in 2022 - the Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus 18K gold watch replica, to pay tribute The 65th anniversary of the Speedmaster watch. The watch is made of Canopus 18K gold developed by Omega. It is equipped with the legendary 321 movement inside. The retro and gorgeous design details are eye-catching.

The Case

The newly launched Omega Speedmaster 65th Anniversary watch replica has a case of 38.6 mm, which continues the size of the original prototype watch CK2915-1, and is made of Canopus 18K gold.

Although it may share more than a passing resemblance to earlier revivals of the original Omega Speedmaster replica, the 18K Canopus Gold case of this new Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 replica is all-new. This case uses Omega’s proprietary alloy of white gold, platinum, rhodium, and palladium for a bright and lustrous look in initial images. The overall form closely follows the pattern of the 1957 original, predating the signature Speedmaster “Moonwatch” look with elements like tapering straight lugs, simple vertical case sides, non-recessed piston pushers, and an insert-free engraved gold bezel. Although the radial brushing and black tachymeter scale give this a similar feel to other iterations of the 1957 Speedmaster design, Omega takes this familiar element above and beyond its predecessors with its execution. 

To begin with, although the engraved tachymeter scale features signature touches from the 1957 original, including the French “tachymètre” spelling, this scale also includes subtle nods to other early Speedmaster models including the sought after “dot over 90” mark. The black fill for this scale is another major step beyond the usual Speedmaster execution, with inky black Grand Feu enamel that should lead to a more nuanced sheen on the wrist than most similar designs. Omega also leaves subtle tributes to the Speedmaster’s history throughout the rest of the case. For example, in addition to the classic Omega emblem, the 3 o’clock crown is engraved with the brand’s NAIAD symbol for water resistance in homage to several ‘50s Speedmaster references. 

The Dial

The dial is made from black onyx that has been painstakingly cut by a special ultrasonic CNC machine. Formed over a black DLC brass plate, the sub-dials, main dial, and external minute ring are made of black onyx for an effect that is undoubtedly special but also well within the replica Speedmaster's design legacy. Look closely and you'll also notice Canopus gold PVD-treated applied hour markers, an applied vintage Omega logo, special vintage-inspired fonts, and 18K white gold hands. 

The Movement

Naturally, Omega powers this new 18K Canopus Gold Speedmaster replica with its in-house handwound Calibre 321 movement. Rather than an evolution or a reimagining of the classic Omega Calibre 321 used from the ‘50s to the ‘70s, this new Calibre 321 is a true reproduction of the original powerplant, and has become a fixture in high-end Speedmaster releases over the past several years. Even the finishing is pure vintage Omega, with the ornately snaking plates and bridges finished in brushed pink gold with bright gold highlights for the balance wheel and gear train. With that said, the Calibre 321’s performance is similarly vintage-inspired with a slow 18,000 bph beat rate. However, this steady frequency allows the movement a surprisingly robust 55 hours of power reserve. 

The display caseback gives us a view at this reissue of the legendary calibre 321 with one last detail that’s meant just for the wearer. On the clear sapphire of the caseback Omega’s engraved the OMEGA Seahorse — a brand icon used on the Speedmaster since 1957 — on the inside of the sapphire crystal glass with an eye made from a sparkling blue sapphire, a precious jewel that traditionally marks a 65-year celebration.

The Bracelet

Omega pairs the watch with a reproduction of the classic Speedmaster “flat link” bracelet in 18K Canopus Gold. The 321 watch replica is equipped with an adjustable-length Canopus 18K gold bracelet, and the humanized design makes it more comfortable to wear. Featuring a sharp mix of even brushing and polishing, this bracelet design gives the Speedmaster a versatile sporting edge in initial images.
