Omega Speedmaster Date 3511.80 - Blue Dial

Details

A Different Shade Of Moonwatch

The Speedmaster is an icon, defined by its role in space exploration. This reference, the 3511.80, takes that legendary DNA and reinterprets it for daily life. Produced in the 1990s, it introduces an automatic movement and a date complication into the classic chronograph layout. The most significant departure, however, is the vibrant blue sunburst dial. It’s a move that shifts the Speedmaster from a pure tool watch to something more expressive, all while retaining the core design language that made it famous.

A Nineties Take On A Classic

This example captures a specific moment in Omega's history. The case size is perfectly proportioned, offering a comfortable and balanced presence on the wrist that feels contemporary. Paired with the convenience of a self-winding movement and a quickset date, it becomes an eminently practical chronograph. The blue sunburst dial is the main event, providing a sense of depth and color that a standard black dial cannot match. This is a complete, all-original package representing the best of neo-vintage Omega.

Untouched And Well Preserved

The watch is in great cosmetic, untouched condition. The stainless steel case retains its original factory lines. On the dial, the lume in both the hands and hour plots has aged evenly to a slight cream color, a desirable trait for collectors. All components are original, including the signed Omega crown, caseback, dial, and movement. It is fitted to its original Omega stamped bracelet. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

The Ideal Everyday Chronograph

This is the right choice for someone who wants the gravity of the Speedmaster name with the ease of a modern automatic. It carries the history of the Moonwatch but is packaged for the real world. The case size and striking blue dial make it incredibly versatile, capable of fitting into any situation without ever feeling out of place. It is a piece of Omega's professional line, reimagined for the person who values both heritage and daily function.

History

In 1957, Omega released the Speedmaster as a racing chronograph. Eight years later, NASA put it through a battery of extreme tests — temperature, humidity, vacuum, shock, vibration, acceleration — and in 1965 certified it as the official watch for all manned space missions.

On July 20, 1969, Buzz Aldrin wore his Speedmaster on the surface of the Moon. No other watch has been to the Moon. That fact has never stopped mattering to anyone who cares about watches.

The Speedmaster's production history across our inventory is rich: the manual-wind Professional (ref 145.022 from 1969 itself), the Reduced automatic (3510.5, 3511.5, 3511.8 with date), the Triple Calendar series (3521, 3523.3), the Michael Schumacher limited editions (3810.12, 3518.5), and the AC Milan and Schumacher World Champion 2000 editions. Each variant was built on the same essential chassis — the 39mm steel case, the tachymeter bezel — and each one lands somewhere on the continuum between racing instrument and artifact of human achievement.


What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
