Something strange happened in 2013. Omega released a new self-winding Speedmaster with its killer co-axial movement and called it the Speedmaster '57. It looked like the original reference 2915 from 1957 in so, so many ways, right down to the crown-guard-less, polished case, and steel bezel. It was, as I called it back then, a superb offering for someone looking for a vintage-looking watch with great styling but with modern technology at a great price, from a blue-chip brand. But one thing really bugged me about that watch – where were the broad-arrow hands? You call it a Speedmaster '57, and do everything right except give it its most identifiable trait? I didn't get it, I still don't, but it doesn't matter now because Omega went ahead and fixed that.

Inspired by a historically important model worn in space on October 3, 1962, by astronaut Walter Schirra, this is the Speedmaster as many of us know and love it.
Should you get a watch serviced? When should you do it, and what should you expect, and how much should it cost? Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, the little machines we all love so dearly aren't immune to the laws of physics --sooner or later, if you expect them to keep working, someone's going to have to go under the hood. When you hand a watch off to a brand serviced center, are you in for a treat, or a nightmare? Find out what happened to one Speedmaster Professional when its number came up.
