Omega Men's 3539.50.00 Speedmaster Automatic Chronograph Watch

 (5 customer reviews)

I will dispense with the history and reputation of the watch and provide my personal recommendation and observations of the unit I purchased. For Omega Speedmaster history and product information, there is plenty of content on the manufacturers website and other related websites for you to perform your own research. Let's just say the watch has an illustrious and proven history and leave it at that.

First I must declare that this product was purchased from and shipped by Amazon.com, not by a vendor advertising in the Amazon.com marketplace. This is an important attribute because of the number of "knock off", "fake", or the overused term "replica" name brand watches being sold as the authentic article by some of these less than reputable `gray market' vendors. This is critically important because of the money you will shell out to obtain this fine watch. I was apprehensive about purchasing this watch online because of the high possibility of being scammed; however, I felt I...Read more

The Omega Speedmaster is one of the most recognizable watches ever. Let alone the amazing history the company has in precision watchmaking.

The watch is amazing. It's actually the perfect size for any wrist, even though I wish it were a few millimeters larger. The accuracy is spot on. Easily <+/-4 seconds daily. Given that it's actually a ETA2892, that's not surprising.

While it is some what of an expensive watch, the value (especially on Amazon) is hard to beat. Omega is a high-end luxury watch, but this is priced more at the level of Oris. Which is another favorite watch manufacturer of mine.

The bracelet is solid and very comfortable on the wrist. It lays flat, as it should. it's also silent!

I bought my Omega Speedmaster back in 1971 for about $160. Best watch I've ever owned. I used it for over 30 years on a daily basis as a stopwatch to set up,calibrate and optimize laboratory research systems. On any given day, I'd use it in this capacity maybe 5 times a day in various locations in my job as an Analytical Field Engineer-consultant. I must have set up,tested,calibrated and optimized well over 1000 research laboratories around the world.-Always using this watch as my essential timer.

In all those years, I've had it attended to only twice. Always by a certified,authorized Omega jeweler. DO NOT EVER use unauthorized jewelers to work on this watch - most of them have never seen this watch until they get their hands on yours, and they don't have a clue what to do and how to do it. If you own such a wonderful chronograph, make certain you use authentic parts and an authentic Omega certified jeweler.

The first time for a replacement watch band - wore out...Read more
