Here is a fantastic, fully original Omega Speedmaster Automatic from 1998. The two tone dial is is in very minty condition, with a dark silver sunburst inner dial and a radial chapter ring and minute track surrounding it. It has a steel Omega logo and black lettering and barely any marks. The three subdials at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock respectively display the hour counter, running seconds and minute counter. The dial has faceted steel bar hour markers with lume dots at the outer ends and black painted stripes for minutes and seconds/sub-seconds. The baton hands are in excellent 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 light overall wear, such as at around the 150 and 65 marks. 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 just a few small marks of wear. The stainless steel case back is in very fine condition, with a crisp and clean hippocampus logo in its center and just a few small marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original bracelet is in very fine condition, with little stretching and only light overall wear. It is big enough for 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.

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 May 2025 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.
