The Speedmaster '57 in blue is one of those rare modern chronographs that actually looks better in person than in the press shots. At 40.5mm it wears closer to a proper dress-sport piece than the bulkier Moonwatch, which means it genuinely works tucked under a suit sleeve - something most chronographs fail at entirely.
