Starting with the flagship stainless steel product line, replica OMEGA patented bronze-based alloy – 50% copper + 37.5% gold equivalent to 9 carats – corresponding to patina – Bronze Gold version. Depending on the dial color combination and strap/bracelet type to add, there are a total of 7 references. In general, the diameter of the case is 43mm, which is about 1mm larger than the classic Speedmaster. The distinctive case shape (with twisted lugs) and pusher/crown and bezel designs that run through the collection are unfailingly consistent.
But crucially, there is a big difference in the dial design. Unlike other moonwatch series, like the Speedmaster Chronograph and Speedmaster Racing series, the two-counter layout is basically reminiscent of a snail, so it is a pattern composed of three different types of scales called snail design. A homage to the original 1940s chronoscope by adding a word that combines the Greek words Chronos, which means time, and Scope, which means to observe. It contains the meaning of (dedicated).
Among the snail patterns that emphasize the unique antique impression, the outer ring has a telemeter scale that can measure the physical distance to objects that can be seen or heard, such as when lightning strikes, and the middle ring. shows the pulsometer scale that can measure heart rate, and the innermost ring shows the tachymeter scale that can measure the average speed of a specific section. The tachymetric scale can also be found on anodized black or blue colored aluminum bezel inserts.
Monochrome dial version with silver-white background and two-counter sub-dial with the same color treatment, so-called Panda dial version with silver-white background and two-counter only in black, blue background with two-counter only silver color Various versions of the reverse-panda dial are available, such as a treated reverse-panda dial version (bronze gold model only), with a silver opalin finish on the two-counter only on a near-brown bronze color background. . In particular, the two-tone combination of the dial looks sportier than the monochrome version. In common, the leaf hands reminiscent of leaves were applied along with appliqué-type Arabic numerals, and the colors were matched to harmonize naturally with the dial and bezel inserts.
All movements of the Speedmaster Chronoscope are equipped with the new in-house manual chronograph caliber 9908. It is not a completely new movement, but a manual variation with the rotor removed from the existing automatic chronograph caliber 9900 (an upgraded version of the 9300), inheriting features such as the automatic version of the column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism. The double barrel design that focuses on the stable distribution of torque guarantees a power reserve of 60 hours, and the silicon balance spring (Si14) is applied along with the co-axial escapement, a symbol of accuracy, so that it is not affected even in a magnetic field environment of 15,000 gauss or more. The excellent anti-magnetic properties are certified by the Master Chronometer certification through the Swiss Federal Society for Metrology (METAS). Through the see-through case back inserted with sapphire crystal, you can appreciate the unique movement that has been treated with rhodium plating along with the characteristic arabesque-style Geneva wave pattern.
The domestic launch price of the Speedmaster Chronoscope Collection is set at 10.8 million won for the steel leather strap model and 11.2 million won for the steel bracelet model, regardless of the dial color. On the other hand, the only bronze gold model scheduled to be released in November is 18.2 million won.
