Omega Speedmaster — "Stardust" Dial

Details

The Story

Here's an Omega Speedmaster automatic chronograph reference #3513.50 with a black dial from the late 90s, early 2000s. Keeps great time and is fully functional. Measurements include a 39mm case and 18mm lug width. On its original Omega stamped bracelet that fits up to a 7.25 inch wrist. Quickset date function at 3 a clock. Black sub dials. Matching silver hands and hour markers. The sub dials are for the seconds, 30 minute track, and 12 hour track. Brushed finishing on the sides of the case and bracelet. The black dial has some \"speckling\" throughout that has a stardust look to it. You can call it patina. It gives the dial a unique look. All parts are original including the signed Omega crown, caseback, dial, and movement. Both the dial and case are in great cosmetic, untouched condition.

Key Specs
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.
