Omega is a watch maker that has mastered the art of blending both past and present to create truly beautiful watches. With their sport watches often being made from the most innovative movements around, whilst their design maintaining the classic elegance of an Omega timepiece.
The Broadarrow is part of the Esteemed Speedmaster collection
The Speedmaster Broad Arrow watch is not too different from this common design theme, the concept of a Broad Arrow Speedmaster has been around for a long time, with the original Broad Arrow being released almost 40 years ago. The Broad Arrow gained its name from the simple fact that is has a very broad minute hand and an arrow on the end of the hour hand, differentiating it from the average Omega Speedmaster Professional.
The 2010 version of the Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow has the customary large case size of many modern watches, at 44.25mm and made out of steel, with the same case design that has propelled the Speedmaster to such success in the past remaining untouched. With the classic Speedmaster Tachymetre on the bezel, the only major difference between the Broad Arrow and any other Speedmaster is with the dial.
The black and silver toned dial has vertical stripes running down it, mimicking the “Côte de Geneve†polishing, continuing a recent theme for Omega watches. The Arabic style hour markers are very easy to read, however the real interest is with the sub dials. The sub dials are made of small metal rings with a honeycomb pattern on the inside, underneath this geometric pattern is a substrate with concentric circles. With either a black alligator strap or a metal bracelet, the watch has two very different looks to it.
