Omega Speedmaster Reduced 3510.82 – JDM Exclusive Blue Sunburst Dial

Details

A Rare Japanese Domestic Release

The Speedmaster Reduced is a staple, but the Reference 3510.82 is a significant departure from the standard black dial production. This was a Japanese Domestic Market exclusive, featuring a vibrant sunburst blue dial that was never released globally. It offers the classic triple register layout of the Moonwatch but with a color profile that is far more elusive. Finding these outside of Japan is difficult, and even within that market, the blue variant remains one of the more sought after iterations of the automatic Speedmaster range.

Regional Exclusive Design

The contrast between the blue sunburst dial and the white subdials creates a fun contrast while still changing colors in the light. This specific configuration represents a period when Omega was experimenting with bold colors for the Japanese market, resulting in pieces that are now highly collectible for their rarity. It maintains the wearable proportions and automatic convenience that defined this series while offering a specific regional history that is often overlooked.

Sharp Integrity And Verified Performance

The overall condition is very good. The stainless steel case maintains its original lines and shows only light, honest wear consistent with careful use. The bracelet remains tight with very little stretch. The blue dial is flawless and the bezel’s enamel is completely intact. After passing our test bench, the automatic movement is running strong and the chronograph functionality is functioning as it should.

A Unique Daily Chronograph

This watch works because it provides the iconic Speedmaster silhouette while avoiding the ubiquity of the standard three models everyone has. It is a specialized tool watch for the collector who wants a daily driver that stands out. It balances heritage with a specific scarcity that makes it much harder to replace than a standard Speedmaster. It is a high functioning piece of equipment that remains physically impressive and historically interesting.

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….
