Omega Moonphase 3576.50.00

T T3F

Went in yesterday, got them down to $4750, and, well, here it is! Thanks for the encouragement, everyone! Very happy with this, even if I might have been able to source one from a trusted seller for a bit less. It feels good to add a new Omega again -- I've taken a detour over the last year or so and gotten into Rolex and AP, and those are frustrating brands to deal with as it seems like anything I'd want has a really long waitlist. Omega, and more specifically, the Speedmaster, is what started my journey into the hobby, and one thing I've learned since then is that nothing beats the Speedy. I'm also reminded why Omega is my favorite brand: watchmaking that beats anything in the price range, awesome history, lots of variations, no (or at least much less) snobbery, no waitlists (for the most part), and the fact that the brand is just more fun than any others.



One of the salespeople helping me pulled out a leather box, then a different one went "I think this is an order model that came in the red box." I have three of the red ones already that came with different watches and they're, err, not great. Fortunately, they were kind enough to give me the newer wooden one, with the pusher tucked inside. 😀



Agree completely on the moonphase. To take that idea even further, nobody really even needs a watch anymore with everyone having a phone on their person at all times. However, in the case of the Speedmaster, for example, there's a romantic attachment knowing that the same watch has visited the moon.

This is actually my third Speedy -- my first ever real watch was the hesalite Speedy Pro, and I added a Grey Side of the Moon a bit later. I've got my eye on a few more at the moment, as well. Honestly, I love the Speedmaster so much that I'm seriously considering focusing almost exclusively on it moving forward.

The resurrection of this thread is timely as I just received a mint 3876.50 from a trusted reseller today. Absolutely gorgeous Speedy. Love the gold circles around the subdials. Moonphase adds a romantic touch and date feature is a welcome addition for me. Don’t want to take it off my wrist. Oh, and the exhibition caseback is very cool.

Here is my slightly different and dressier speedy moon phase. I love the white gold bezel and blued broad arrow hands.

This watch was a gift and spent a good coupe of years sitting in the safe before it grew on me. Now it’s one of my favourites. I love the moon phase and calendar dial

I think 14.5mm if my memory is correct

I just purchased a 3576.50 and it is about the same thickness as my Speedy Tuesday (14mm I believe). The color of the moonphase disc and transparent case back are beautifully done. Here it is on my 7 inch wrist.

There are various iterations of this model. The ST 345.0909 with black dial came out in 1985, the 3575.20 with ivory dial and blue Broad Arrow hands came out in 2000, a similar model with silvery dial and silvered Broad Arrow hands came out in 2001, and the final version 3576.50 with black dial and sapphire back.came out in 2003 and discontinued in 2017. So various models to choose from.

I measure mine at 13.9 mm with sapphire back.

I do, it's an Adam Lewis modified 3575.20 with blue baton hands instead of the Broad Arrow hands, a blue Gemini 4 bezel instead of the white gold bezel, and an Omega sapphire back. Here on a Silver Snoopy blue strap which I've since replaced with a Genteel turquoise epi leather strap for summer wear. I think these Speedmasters are way underappreciated and undervalued by collectors.
