Well, it's certainly looking like there will be a date function and with the 8800 caliber (or a variant of it), I'd imagine Omega will make it Boutique Exclusive and charge around $7000 +/- 500.

A new Omega Railmaster would go nicely with my Rolex Explorer - as long as it does not have a date feature and doesn't retail for a crazy amount of money!

They have removed the entry for the date in the movement section in the meantime, see 220.10.38.20.01.002 : Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial 38 Railmaster / Bracelet / 60th Anniversary » WatchBase.com

Excellent news! The date window doesn't make much sense for a Railmaster. Or any of the trilogy for that matter.

But 19mm lug width? Why, Omega, why?

Yeah! The Railmaster is a smart watch, but no smartwatch. ;-)

Maybe they will 'modify' that entry as well.

Oh, and - also modified - they now state

"Limited: Yes, 3557 units"

Just like the 60th anniversary Speedmaster. It was 1957 pieces prior to that for that new Railmaster.

(Lug width is still 19mm. ;-) )

As I mentioned earlier, I think they've mixed up some of the information between these models...

C'mon Ken, spit it out!

Either way, I'm excited. I doubt I'll have the $$, but the prospect of a Railmaster reissue is exciting.

 

[bck919]

That watchbase website seems to be constantly updating the information on the 1957 trilogy anniversary models. I guess I'll wait a few more weeks before setting any real expectations for the Baselworld releases.

A 40mm after all?

 

[stamsd]

Did I miss something? How come such a slow beat? 25k? Has the Co-Ax always been so slow? I would have thought 28k.

 

[bck919]

No, it should be 38-39mm.

This was started by the 8500 movement, all non chronographs now have the slower beat. To be fair, this is 7 beats per second, versus 8 beats for 28k. Side by side, there's an observable difference, but in isolation, not an issue at all

 

[Ken G]

No, it should be 38-39mm.

If this is in reference to my previous post about a 40mm model, then yes, there has been a lot of talk of 38.5mm. But, in addition to that size, there will be a 40, I'll wager...

Lots of us are waiting for it, but the big question is, will Omega do the Railmaster name justice!!

It will not be easy improving on this.

 

[dantan]

Will the new Omega Railmaster be my first Omega, finally?!

 

[Ken G]

Lots of extras with the LE!

 

[RTK27]

Lots of extras with the LE!

NATO/Leather strap/ bracelet kind of goodies?

 

[Ken G]

It will not be easy improving on this.

For me, this is the one that they'll have trouble improving:

Just wish I owned one!

 

[Betterthere]

Titanium coming? A sm300mc sorta ...

 

[omeglycine]

Will the new Omega Railmaster be my first Omega, finally?!

For me the question is: will it be my next Omega? Although I am also considering the previous gen (among a handful of other watches).
