Omega Speedmaster Reduced- Tritium Burn?

Hi everyone,

New member here from the Philippines, hope all are doing good.

Just got myself my first vintage watch for my birthday, and went with a Speedmaster Reduced.

I chose this one particularly due to the unique, reddish patina from its hour hand.

Now though, it got me thinking, if there was a chance this patina was modified ie. brushed, artificially put there etc.

From my seller, he did say it is confirmed a natural patina, and I am inclined to believe him as he is a reputable vintage seller in my area.

Just want to know anyone's thought if you think its normal/natural patina.

Been scouring the internet looking for an example such as mine but so far, haven't seen any.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you!

bump?

Find a Watchmaker to paint it white again. Problem solved. Why would an example like yours show up again on the Internet ? It's paint. Somebody did it. It's not Patina.... Whatever your " reputable Seller " said.

He should better paint all three....😉

That watch has a super luminova dial & hands, which is new and will not develop patina like radium and/or tritium. As mentioned above, that is not “natural”

Appreciate your inputs everyone thanks, that confirms it.

Same red on the subdials and I’d say the minute hand is headed the direction yours is.
