Birth year watches

Watches made in 1957.

1957 is one of the great years in watchmaking. Omega launched three professional watches at once: the Speedmaster, the Seamaster 300 and the Railmaster. Hamilton launched the Ventura, the first electric wristwatch, with a case shaped like nothing before it.

A watch made in 1957 belongs to the moment the wristwatch became equipment. Even a modest piece from this year carries some of that: better water resistance, more legible dials, and cases designed to be worn rather than displayed.
