If you are a world traveler with a number of dress styles that varies from an elegant, dressy look to a sporty casualness, this might be your perfect watch. It guarantees a pretty cool look, a little bit classic, yet modern in general, and what is also essential, it can be very useful on a trip. This new Speedmaster Broad Arrow GMT Co-Axial watch comes with a 24-hour hand that provides the information about time in a second time zone. (Also consider Omega Seamater Aqua Terra GMT Chronograph Watch.)
A broad minute hand and an arrow hour hand are elements that make a main difference between the Broad Arrow and regular Speedmaster Professional watches. These elements also provide a catchy name for this watch family that is a part of Omega’s iconic Speedmaster Collection for a long time.
If we consider the fact that the dials of most Speedmasters feature three sub-dials (look for exception – new Co-Axial Chronograph), it is a pretty hard task to find space for 24-hour track, keeping the dial easy to read at the same time, even though it is a large timepiece. Furthermore, there is no space on the bezel, because it is covered with a tachymeter scale. However, thanks to the great design, each variation of the watch has great readability.
Two Variations of a Dial
The watches with black dials feature oversized and highly luminous applied markers for even hours, as well as smaller, but also easily legible, Arabic numerals for odd hours. The forth, GMT hand has an orange arrow, while the sub-dials come in lighter shades, with white frames.
Two variations of the Speedmaster Broad Arrow GMT feature cream dials. In that case, hour markers are grey, as well as watch hands, while a little bit lighter shade makes the hour track and sub-dials distinctive and easy to read. The Swiss watchmaker has also used orange color to highlight some Arabic numerals.
Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow GMT Chronograph is a masculine watch, with a 44.25mm case, crafted in brushed and polished stainless steel. It matches either a stainless steel bracelet or an elegant brown leather strap, with white stitches.
This Omega watch offers various functionalities – three chronographs that track 60 seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours intervals of time. Besides, there is a date window at the 6 o’clock position and a tachymeter scale on the bezel for tracking speed, based on distance.
The Swiss watchmaker used its most advanced, Co-Axial technology for this timepiece. The Caliber 3603 is an automatic chronograph with a column wheel mechanism, a free sprung-balance and a Co-Axial Escapement that provides greater stability, precision and durability. This officially certified chronometer with 55 hours of power-reserve has a rhodium plated finish and gold plated engravings.
This is the watch with the most beautiful design of all Omega watches I have ever seen. It`s so magnificent. I like the model 3881.30.37, it has a nice color of the leather strap. Features of this watch are also great. Nice job from Omega manufactures.
I don`t like this watch at all. I`m a fan of Invicta because they have the Russian Diver collection which is the best because it`s in army style and I like that kind of stuff. Let`s be clear, I didn`t said that this watch is bad, it has an excellent movement, nice and modern features and fine water resistance. But it`s just not my favorite kind of watch.
I am a proud owner of this fantastic watch. I am very happy with its performances and with the reliability of the mechanism, it is perfect. My watch has a black dial and a stainless steel bracelet. It looks very good on my hand and all of my friends envy me for this Omega Speedmaster Board Arrow GMT watch.
Omega watches have something special in their design. They look so attractive and beautiful! Any man would like to have one of the great Omega watches on his hand. In my opinion, this watch is definitely the best of all Omega collections. I like the model with the referent number 3881.30.37.
You have the point, my man! It’s absolutely true that any real man would like to have an Omega watch. Omega is maybe one of the best watch manufacture companies in the world. They make very quality watches which have great designs and the very reliable movements.
I agree with Lester’s choice of the model 3881.30.37. The combination of a steel case, a brown leather strap and a black dial looks perfect. I really can’t remember if I have ever seen a similar watch in my whole life. This watch is on the top on my list of favorite watches.
