2016 Best Chronograph - Omega Speedmaster CK2998

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 features Alpha hands, a symmetrical case, and a dark blue bezel with a tachymeter scale. The bezel is made of ceramic and the tachymeter scale (a reminder that the Speedmaster was originally aimed at the auto racing set before its association with space travel) is treated with Super-LumiNova for extra legibility in low light.

The same shade of blue has been used for the three subdials on the opaline silvery dial, as well as for the leather strap, with its beige contrast stitching and polished steel buckle. The Alpha-shaped hour and minute hands (as well as the subdial counter hands) are rhodium plated, and the central chronograph counter hand retains the classical “lollipop” shape used on the original model. The stainless steel case measures a contemporary 39.7 mm in diameter and features polished and brushed finishing.The applied indices are also rhodium-plated and are coated with a green-emission Super-LumiNova.

Omega Caliber 1861 — the manual-wind chronograph movement with 21,600-vph frequency and 48-hour power reserve that served its duty in the very first Omega Speedmaster “Moonwatch” — beats behind a solid, screw-down caseback engraved with the collection’s classic Seahorse emblem and the limited edition number.
