·New forum member, so hello all 😀.
I recently purchased a gorgeous Speedmaster to add to my collection of chronographs. Unfortunately, no box/papers, but too nice of a watch for me to pass up. I'm a big fan of arabic white dials, and blue hands … checks both!
I’m looking for some help identifying the Reference #. From google/ebay research it seems that there are few variations of this model. Some had 4 Olympic Rings engraved into the caseback along with the Speedmaster logo. Another had no Speedmaster logo, but instead, large Olympic Rings (and Limited Edition). Others, like mine, had just the Speedmaster logo, and the small circular omega authentication logo.
The dials look the same, except the L.E. version has Olympic rings on the bottom of the chronograph second hand (and perhaps a different bracelet and larger case diameter).
Reference #’s that I have come across are: # 3515.20.00 (I think this is mine), # 3513.20.00 (I think the 4 rings with Speedmaster logo), and #323.10.40 (I think the Limited-Edition version)
Again, just from my research, so not 100% certain.
Many websites that have these models for sale, ie. eBay, Chrono24, seem to show both 3515.20 and 3513.20 interchangeably though ...
Regarding caliber#: my research shows 1151, 1152, and 1164 in some cases (cosc version of 1152). I could open my caseback, but really don’t want to take a chance scratching it (it’s a snap on/off).
Any help or guidance is appreciated!!! The serial number is on the lug … will contacting Omega directly yield the most certain answer?
