Here is a wonderful and fully original Omega Speedmaster Automatic from 1996. The deep blue sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a silver Omega logo and lettering and barely any marks. It has three subdials at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. These display the hour counter, running seconds and minute counter respectively. The dial has rounded steel hour markers with lume dots at the outer ends and white painted stripes between for minutes and seconds divisions. The baton hands are in very fine condition, with the original lume intact. The window at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.
The stainless steel tachymetre bezel is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The stainless steel case with the original crown and pushers and the beautiful bombe lugs that are a characteristic of the Speedmaster has brushed face and sides, with polished bevels. It is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The stainless steel case back is in very fine condition with a crisp and clean hippocampus logo in its center and very little overall wear.
The original bracelet is in very fine condition, with little stretching and only light overall wear. It is big enough for moderately large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult. The bracelet can be shortened by up to about 2cm simply by moving a spring bar in the clasp.
Inside the watch, Omega’s high grade 1152 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in April 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
The Speedmaster Automatic is a very popular watch for many reasons, and the great overall condition of this one makes it even more special. This is a watch that wears well for any occasion and a Speedmaster should be part of any collection.
Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
