A late-1990s Omega Speedmaster Triple Date powered by the automatic Calibre 5200 chronograph movement. Featuring a 39mm stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, tachymeter bezel, and striking blue multi-register dial, this reference combines classic Speedmaster design with practical day, date and month functionality. A distinctly 1990s interpretation of the Speedmaster line.
Why It’s Special
The Speedmaster Triple Date occupies a unique space within the Speedmaster family — offering full calendar functionality in a compact automatic format. The blue dial provides depth and contrast rarely seen in other references, while the multi-register layout gives it a technical yet balanced aesthetic. This example retains its original dial, correct bracelet, and matching serial papers, and is presented with inner box and manuals — increasingly important for 1990s Omega collectors.
Condition
Honest vintage condition with visible wear consistent with regular use. Stainless steel case shows surface scratches and moderate softening to edges from wear, with no major dents or structural damage and no evidence of aggressive polishing. Tachymeter bezel retains clear engraving with expected cosmetic wear. Original blue dial remains clean and well preserved with crisp printing and intact sub-dials; minor patina visible on the chronograph seconds hand, while other hands remain bright and well matched. Sapphire crystal shows light surface marks only. Bracelet shows stretch consistent with age but remains structurally sound and wearable. Inner box and card holder show material degradation and flaking typical of late-1990s Omega packaging.
Performance: Recently tested on timegrapher at +18 seconds per day. Acceptable for a neo-vintage automatic chronograph and suitable for regular wear.
