Omega Speedmaster

Dan's daily-wear Swiss automatic chronograph · Speedmaster line with tachymeter bezel + date + chrono subdials · awaiting overhaul

Note 21 May 2026: record was originally titled "Seamaster" — corrected after photos confirmed the dial reads "OMEGA Speedmaster AUTOMATIC CHRONOMETER". Caseback carries the iconic Speedmaster seahorse + 100m/330ft. URL /omega-seamaster retained as legacy redirect; canonical name on next pass will become /omega-speedmaster.

Omega Speedmaster caseback held in hand, showing the embossed Speedmaster seahorse medallion, the 100m/330ft water-resistance engraving, the Omega symbol stamp, and a partial serial-number visible on the lug edge — captured for the WatchRepair.net estimate request 21 May 2026.

Photos captured 21 May 2026 — used in the WatchRepair.net estimate exchange. Caseback serial-number digits not yet fully readable from these angles; capture again on a cleaner shot for variant/year derivation.
