The history of this Omega Speedmaster
In 1957, Omega unveiled a chronograph designed for the racetrack, long before it conquered space. Designed for racing drivers and engineers, the Speedmaster features a tachymeter scale on the outer bezel to provide an instant reading of speed. This Omega Speedmaster 326.32.40.50.02.001 revives this terrestrial heritage. An interesting detail of its design is the Clous de Paris pattern adorning its sub-dials. This aesthetic choice replicates the matt texture of the dashboards found in classic 1960s sports cars. It marks a deliberate return to its roots for a collection that is, above all, technical.
Case, movement and strap of this Speedmaster
The stainless steel case has a diameter of 40 mm. Its asymmetrical, lyre-shaped lugs alternate between brushed and polished surfaces. The matt silver dial showcases three textured sub-dials housing the chronograph functions and an integrated date display. A fixed black aluminium bezel frames the whole under a sapphire crystal. The watch is powered by the self-winding Calibre 3330. This chronometer-certified movement features a column wheel and a Co-Axial escapement, guaranteeing a power reserve of 52 hours and high magnetic resistance. The black rubber strap bears the line’s embossed signature and fastens with a secure folding clasp. It is water-resistant to 100 metres.
Why choose this Omega watch
The 40 mm case offers modest proportions, making it ideal for everyday wear. Less imposing than other models in the range, it suits a wide variety of wrists. On the pre-owned market, this version with its contrasting silver dial paired with a rubber strap strikes a balanced blend of sportiness and understated elegance. It is a technical chronograph fitted with a high-performance movement, aimed at enthusiasts seeking a bold timepiece without the strict classicism of the traditional line.
