Celebrating the 65th Anniversary of The Speedmaster Line, the actors George Clooney and Hyun Bin are chosen for the OMEGA Speedmaster’57 campaign
The Speedmaster’57, as the name suggests, is based on the Speedmaster design which was released in 1957 for racing car drivers and engineers on the track. To live up to the name and paying tribute, the Speedmaster’57 collection consists of eight new watches that are designed with a thinner case and a finer bezel, with colourful dial choices, a vintage bracelet, and an outstanding Co-Axial Master Chronometer 9906 movement to make sure the watch reaches the pinnacle of precision, magnetic-resistance and performance.
Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA, says “The Speedmaster ’57 is known for its quality and timeless charm. George Clooney and Hyun Bin are the perfect leading men to showcase these values and prove exactly how the timepiece fits with the dashing style of today.”
