A late-1990s Omega Speedmaster Date powered by the automatic Calibre 1152 chronograph movement. Featuring a 39mm stainless steel case, black dial with applied indices, date at 3 o’clock, and tachymètre bezel, this reference delivers classic Speedmaster styling in a practical automatic format. A well-balanced everyday chronograph with strong mechanical performance.
Why It’s Special
The Speedmaster Date offers the core Speedmaster aesthetic with added versatility for daily wear. Powered by the reliable Cal. 1152 (Valjoux-based), it combines proven chronograph architecture with date functionality. This example stands out for its excellent dial and hand condition, strong timegrapher performance, and full-length bracelet — a clean and mechanically strong late-’90s example.
Condition
Dial and hands are in excellent condition with no notable patina; lume plots remain clean for a late-1990s example. Stainless steel case shows honest wear, including a small, shallow dent on the 9 o’clock case flank — visible under close inspection but not prominent in normal wear. No major dents or structural damage otherwise, and no evidence of aggressive polishing. Sapphire crystal is clear. Bracelet (ref. 1562/850) is full length at approximately 18 cm, showing light surface wear with no stretch; clasp engraving remains crisp.
Performance: Recently tested on timegrapher at +4 seconds per day. Strong performance for a neo-vintage automatic chronograph and suitable for regular wear. Service is unverified, though performance is consistent with a well-running movement.
