Heritage Narrative

Inspired by the 1957 Speedmaster—Omega’s first chronograph launched into space—the “Broad Arrow” series revives the original arrow-shaped hands while introducing modern mechanics. This stainless-steel reference 78010106 retains the heritage cues of the early Speedmasters: a crisp “TACHYMÈTRE BASE 1000” scale on a steel bezel, pump pushers, and a tricompax dial layout. Inside, Omega’s chronometer-certified Calibre 3303 brings contemporary reliability with a column-wheel chronograph, free-sprung balance, and 52-hour power reserve. The watch is fitted to a period-correct 1620/887 solid-link bracelet, completing a package that blends mid-century design with modern performance.
