The Omega Speedmaster Day-Date is a fantastic watch for fans of the classic Speedmaster design who can't do without a day of the week, date, month, and 24-hour display. On this timepiece, the small seconds at 9 o'clock shares a subdial with the 24-hour hand, while the 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock also has two windows for the day of the week and the month. The date can be read using the large central hand and the outer edge of the dial.
Speedmaster Day-Date references measure either 39 or 40 mm in diameter. Depending on the exact model, these watches are water-resistant to 50 m (5 bar, 164 ft) or 100 m (10 bar, 328 ft). While you have the choice between models in stainless steel or rose gold, all of these Speedmaster timepieces are outfitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
The Omega 1151 caliber powers earlier watches, while the Omega 3606 powers the later versions. Both movements are automatic and based on the Valjoux 7751 from the Swiss movement manufacturer ETA. They have a power reserve of 42 hours and their balance wheel swings at 28,800 vibrations per hour.
Omega no longer produces the Speedmaster Day-Date, which is why you will mostly find pre-owned examples on the secondary market. If you devote some time to your search, however, you should be able to find models in mint condition.
