The Omega Speedmaster is such a watchmaking icon that an entire subspecies of Speedies has evolved in the nearly seventy years since its inception in 1957.
The Speedmaster Pilot launched earlier this month is a definite departure from that classic Speedy vibe, with visual cues that put it firmly in the cockpit of a jet rather than in space.
At 40.85mm in diameter, the case harks back to the very first Speedmaster, but the dial features a groovy granular surface and unique functional details.
Omega, you see, is one stop on an 8-day tour of the best of Swiss watchmaking, orchestrated and planned for Esquire readers.
