Here is a fabulous and fully original Omega Speedmaster Classic Automatic from 1997. The silver parchment dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo and black lettering. It has steel strip hour markers with black contrast and lume dots at the outer ends, double marker at 12 o’clock. The sword hands are in very fine condition, with the original lume and black contrast. The window at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date and weekday. The quick-set function should only be used with the hands 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 the beautiful bombe lugs that are a characteristic of the Speedmaster series has brushed face and sides with polished bevels. It is in very fine condition with only light overall wear, mostly along the sharp edges. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition with a crisp and clean Omega logo at its center surrounded by the wording “Maison fondée en 1848”.
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. 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 1051 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in January 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
While the Speedmaster is an iconic series of chronographs, the Speedmaster Classic is a stylish dress watch with the same case design. 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.
NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
