The blue dialed automatic Speedmaster is not the first model you think of, but it makes a lot of sense. Model reference 375.0043.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can date this watch to being made circa 1994. Serial numbers starting 54,***,*** were used in both 1993 and 1994, and this one is just over half way at 54,56*,***.
CONDITION
To many the Speedmaster will always be three subdials at 3, 6 and 9 respectively on a black dial and no date function, just like the original moon watch. However Omega disagree, and you can get the Speedmaster in such a variety of designs now that you are not restricted by the moon watch anymore. This blue dial model has the advantage of a calendar, with quickset, and automatic winding. The 25 jewel Omega 1155 movement is actually based on the Valjoux 7750, used by many brands for many years. This is one of the better finished versions, and the real benefit may be in years to come as spares will not be restricted to just Omega repairers. Everything is working as it should. The case has several marks from being worn, with the worst being to the bottom of the lug near 5. The dial is very good. The original bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The endlinks are stamped 813 and the bracelet clasp is number 1169. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath. You can also wear this model on a standard 18mm strap, and they do look good on navy blue straps.
This watch will be supplied with an original service box, and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
