Case #548 β Omega Seamaster 57 Trilogy Limited Edition Ref. 234.10.39.20.01.001
Status: Active Investigation
Condition: Excellent Pre-Owned
Scope: Box, Chronometer Card, and Pictogram Card
Year: 2017
The Omega Seamaster 57 Trilogy Limited Edition Ref. 234.10.39.20.01.001 is one of the most compelling heritage reissues Omega has produced in the modern era. Released in 2017 as part of the Trilogy 1957 set celebrating the 60th anniversary of the original Seamaster 300, Railmaster, and Speedmaster, this reference captures the spirit of the first Seamaster 300 in a remarkably faithful and highly wearable modern package.
What makes this reference especially appealing is that Omega did not simply borrow the name and move on. The case sizing, broad-arrow handset, vintage-inspired dial layout, and overall proportions were all approached with a clear respect for the original design language. At the same time, the watch benefits from modern construction and finishing, which makes it far easier to enjoy as a daily wearer than a true vintage example.
This example is Limited Edition No. 2961 of 3557 and dates to 2017. It is presented in excellent pre-owned condition. Overall, it shows only light wear consistent with careful use. It includes the box, chronometer card, and pictogram card but does not include the warranty card. It is currently sized to fit approximately a 7.75-inch wrist and also includes the NATO strap, leather strap, strap tool, and leather roll, making it a particularly complete and attractive package.

The 1957 Trilogy watches matter because they represent Omega looking back at one of the most important years in its tool-watch history and doing so with unusual seriousness. Rather than reinterpret the originals too freely, Omega preserved much of what made those early designs so successful: clean proportions, strong legibility, and a real sense of purpose.
That matters here because the Seamaster 57 Trilogy feels like a watch made for people who actually care about the original design. It carries the warmth and restraint of a vintage diver, but in a format that is durable, dependable, and much easier to wear with confidence.
The appeal here is rooted in faithfulness, scarcity, and completeness. The Trilogy Seamaster was not an open-ended regular production watch β it was a limited run of 3,557 pieces, and examples that retain their numbered-edition identity together with the broader accessory package remain especially attractive. The inclusion of the NATO strap, leather strap, strap tool, and leather roll strengthens the collector appeal considerably, because it preserves more of the full presentation and versatility that came with the watch.
This particular example also benefits from being a 2017 piece in excellent pre-owned condition, with a very strong overall package despite the absence of the warranty card. For a buyer looking for one of Omegaβs best modern heritage reissues, this is a compelling example.
The broader Trilogy 1957 collection received strong attention among Omega collectors and enthusiasts because of how faithfully it revisited the brandβs most important mid-century tool-watch designs. That wider heritage-driven recognition continues to support the appeal of the Seamaster 57 Trilogy as one of the standout modern Omega reissues.
