This Omega Speedmaster Date, reference 3513.50, is a 1999 automatic chronograph with black dial, triple-register layout, date display and Omega calibre 1152. It is accompanied by its documented full set.
Why It’s Special
The Speedmaster Date belongs to the family’s broader late-1990s evolution beyond the manual-wind Moonwatch. Its automatic calibre and calendar complication made the Speedmaster design language more adaptable to daily use, while the black-dial 3513.50 retained the immediately recognisable chronograph silhouette. A complete period set adds meaningful supporting context for a neo-vintage Omega.
Condition
Case shows light surface wear with a strong profile; bezel retains clean numerals with faint marks. Dial and hands present cleanly with intact lume; under angled light, subtle micro-speckling is visible, consistent with natural ageing on late-1990s Omega dials (most noticeable around the sub-dials and minute track). Bracelet has minor stretch and typical clasp wear. Sapphire crystal is clear. Full set included with worn but intact inner and outer boxes, papers, manuals, hang tag and cardholder.
Performance
Running reliably with healthy amplitude; current rate is –23 seconds per day, acceptable for a neo-vintage automatic chronograph.
