The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Need help on this one. Anyone with the expertise to ID this?

Its a model Omega has sold in different iterations for some time. It's a 40mm automatic Speedmaster. I think this one's a generation back. The present models have sub-registers at 3, 6, and 9, though I think that changed just a couple of years ago. I'm not certain but pretty confident that the movement is a Valjoux 7750.

It is the Speedmaster Day Date as oposed to Speedmaster Professional.
The Day Date was equipped with a 7750 based Cal 1164 movement whereas the Pro has a manual wind Lemania based Cal 1861 movement.
The Day Date uses a saphire crystal, Pro uses acrylic (Hesalite) crystal.
Pro has a 3,6,9 subdial layout.

Some will argue that the Day Date is not as classic as the Pro. A debate that will never be resolved I guess.

It's still in very nice condition by the looks of it. I'd pull the trigger if the price was right. Doesn't seem to matter how they play round with thus watch it still comes out adding up IMO. very nice indeed.
