Description
Measuring 39mm in diameter, the Speedmaster Reduced Date retains the iconic design cues of its larger sibling, the Moonwatch, but with the added convenience of an automatic movement, making it an ideal everyday timepiece without sacrificing the rich horological pedigree.
The deep black dial, a hallmark of the 3513.50, serves as a sharp contrast to the polished steel case, creating a striking visual balance. Applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova ensure optimal legibility, while the subtle date window at the 3 o’clock position adds a layer of practicality, making this not just a sports chronograph but also a highly functional daily companion. The classic tri-compax layout features running seconds, a 30-minute counter, and a 12-hour counter, making the watch a reliable tool for timing with precision.
At its heart lies the Omega Caliber 1152, a robust automatic movement derived from the famed ETA 7750, known for its durability and precision. The movement, with its column-wheel construction, offers a smooth chronograph function, and its automatic winding makes it particularly user-friendly.
Aesthetically, the Speedmaster Reduced Date is a masterclass in proportion and versatility. The stainless steel case, combined with the iconic tachymeter bezel, offers a sleek, sporty look, while the tapered bracelet ensures a comfortable fit, whether worn casually or with more formal attire. This particular example comes as a full set, complete with the original box, papers, and accessories, further enhancing its appeal to collectors and those seeking an investment in Omega’s rich chronograph history.
The 3513.50 is more than just a scaled-down Speedmaster—it’s a refined chronograph that caters to those who appreciate the history and design of the original Speedmaster, but in a more practical, wearable package. With its blend of heritage, mechanical sophistication, and timeless aesthetics, this 2004 Omega Speedmaster Reduced Date is a watch that stands the test of time, offering versatility, reliability, and style in equal measure.
