WOTD - Omega Speedmaster - 3594.50.00
Purchased after watching this video https://youtu.be/PRWITJmQ9s8 (thanks Max!). Absolutely love this 20+ year old watch.
Name: Speedmaster Replica 57 Stainless Steel (aka Relaunch).
Produced: 1998 – 2003.
Case Material: Stainless Steel.
Bezel: Tachymeter.
Glass: Plexi.
Back: Closed.
Diameter: 42.00 mm (on my 170mm wrist).
Lug Width: 20.00 mm.
The version pictured was not a limited edition. It features a stainless steel, engraved bezel and so-called ‘broad arrow’ hands to mimic the look of the original CK 2915 of 1957. It's case back does feature the seahorse medallion, but with no additional engraving.
Since the 60th Anniversary of the Speedmaster in 2017, the ‘Replica 57’ is also known as the ‘Relaunch’, avoiding the word ‘Replica’ in the name.

This one’s also on my list. May be my next one 😇
Simon, glad you picked one up! I got mine on a new speedy 3861 bracelet and it's pure magic!
That's a great looking watch. I have the Speedmaster 57 that was launched in 2013. It's a bit on the large side, but otherwise an awesome watch. The version I have uses the alpha style hands, which reflect light in such a way that the watch is super legible.
