This Speedmaster Date is powered via the OMEGA caliber 1152, a reliable mechanism based upon the ETA 7750. The movement runs at 28.800 bph and is capable of a 44-hour power reserve and is as robust as the case that houses it.

The case is a familiar 'Speedmaster' complete with a robust 39mm by 14mm shape, prominent on the wrist, but still with classic features of the collection like the pair of twisted lugs, tachymeter bezel, and a set of pump pushers flanking a deeply toothed signed crown. It's on the dial where we see the unique features of the design in its uncommon vertical chronograph configuration and namesake, trapezoidal date window at the three o'clock position. A distinct styling of the chronograph registers on a beautiful silver dial and applied hour markers further distinguish the look, the overall style ably recalling both historic Speedmaster motifs alongside contemporary design influences. 

A BIT OF TRIVIA

Not all Speedmasters are in fact Moonwatches. Notably, the brand has for many years produced a wide assortment of variations on the classic chronograph design, from heritage models to moon phases, to even Moonswatches and bejeweled versions.

One variation in particular to skew from the beaten path of the professional line was the Speedmaster Date, an interesting, loosely aligned series particularly popular around the turn-of-the-century and the decade or so after in models like this example, here, the ref. 3511.80

OUR THOUGHTS

This Speedmaster Date 3511.80 with the wonderful blue dial is a step away from the normal black dial that we so often see and to me is a welcome change. this watch really stands out from the rest, its fully serviced, running beautiful and ready for you to take on into the future.
