Hi all, first time poster here and 1st Omega watch as well. I have been into Rolex & Patek. Thought I branch out to Omega. Had a chance to acquire this watch from a shop. It is Omega Speedmaster 3513.33. Is it considered a vintage? Not so much background on this watch, other than this model came out for only a few years 1996-1998. It is using 1152 aka Valjoux 7750 movement. Some help would be nice. Thanks.

Nice watch. Not quite vintage yet though. Early 70's is where most people put the cut off. There have been some discussions on these search for the model number and they should show up. Welcome!

No, dont think it is. Mark 40 has day date. This is speedmaster date.

Thanks. The dial is actually silverish with tiny bit of beige tint, not quite white per se. It actually looks even better in person. The pic doesnt do justice.

It's really an attractive watch, nice choice for a first Omega. Congratulations on the acquisition, and welcome to the Forum!

Thanks. Been wearing this Omega for a week now. Still sometimes caught myself staring at the guilloche. Looking forward to getting other Omega watches.
