Watch Review Omega Speedmaster 1957 - The Broad Arrow
Hi y’all
My name is Mr. Chao and welcome to Chao Time. I’m back with the last watch in my four part chronograph series. This is going up against the Sugess Chronograph Mechanical, Bulova Lunar Pilot, Seiko SDGZ019. Of course, this is the most expensive, so it would make sense that it ranks highest, but how will it rank in terms of value? Let’s find out.
The reviews start with my as objective as possible scoring against a rubric to get a total score. I then take the score and apply a value multiplier to get a value score. Then, I rank the two scores against all the other watches I have reviewed up to that point. After the review, I give a completely subjective opinion which takes into consideration everything that goes into buying a watch.
Before we can begin scoring the watch against the rubric, we first need to understand the purpose of the watch and what design language inspires it. Well, it’s a chronograph with design cues from a very popular and historic timepiece, the Speedmaster Professional. However, it has a bit of a dressy flair.
So, let’s get to it.

    I have one and would say the lume is incredibly awesome. The two negative for me are - the bulky and unrefined bezel design. It protrudes higher than the glass and the numbers printed on it are big and cheap looking. Because of this it is a good watch that could have been great. And eliminating the embossing on the underside would have reduced the height by 1mm.

    I've owned the 116710LN for several years and agree with most of your comments except for the polished center links on the bracelet. I like the polished links a lot. Gives this watch a dressy vibe as well as the sporty tool look. And also agree with your comments about the Blue BLNR bezzle. I like the solid black better. I too have a 6.5 inch wrist and forty MM GMT is still doable. Own a couple of 42MM Speedmasters which work also. Liked your video.

Im not an automatic guy but for $110aud i couldn't say no. I'm looking for that size (or bigger) for my 7.25 inch wrist. I haven't got that vintage vibe watch in my collection and I've haven't ever seen something like this in quartz.

    • @ChaoTime101
      @ChaoTime101 Рік тому

      I'm not sure. I don't have easy access to the more modern version to check side by side. I love the old tritium version though for the patina. I wanted the more modern version until I saw mine in person. Then I knew this wasn't going to be an everyday watch anyway and lume was not going to be a deciding factor. It's more of a special occasion or dress piece for me.

    I love that you have a rubric! That really helps make it more objective. Great video and great watch! I do think that Seiko is getting more expensive than they used to, thus narrowing their value prospex (pun intended!). But every brand seems to be doing the same (Omega raising prices twice this year). The microbrands certainly can fill that gap because they need buyers to grow their brand recognition and can’t charge more. But I think most of us will still rather pay more for a Seiko purely because we know it’ll last forever. Side note, I’m glad Seiko keeps their lugs at 20mm because it makes replacement bracelets and strap options endless! Great video thank you!

    I have one that I've been wearing for 12 years, no problems at all. It is an anchor. Mine has the ETA-2824A movement and was made in 2009

      Nice. You've had that longer than I've been wearing watches!

    Strange comment about the watch not coming with a bracelet to go swimming when it does indeed come with a rubber strap for that very purpose. Also, you can most certainly get a Panerai bracelet for it. As to the lume, It is the best I ever had on any watch I have owned, It goes on for ever.

      The store I went to (which was not an AD) only had it in a leather strap. I suppose I should preface reviews by stating that it's strictly my experience. Thanks for telling me about your experience with the lume. You're not the first!

    The best of the best for the price!

      I do find it hard to get something comparable for the price.

      I haven't tried all of them yet, but certainly one of the best!

    I own this watch and bought it for 400 bucks. Ok, I'm opening myself up here to criticism, but I believe this watch will become a classic collectible in the same tradition of the Seiko skx. I adore this watch.

      It's definitely a wonderful watch. Not outside the realm of possibility that Orient becomes the enthusiast's darling brand, but they would need to up their game a bit. There's quite a bit of competition in the microbrand space.

    Was issued a Luminox but once I received the Marathon GSAR I didn't/don't wear anything else. Great watch and doesn't have to look "dazzling" as that is not what it was made for.

      Yeah, comfortable and functional. Hard to beat.
