STORY

The black dial, softly aged lume, Hesalite crystal and steel bracelet give this c.1996 Speedmaster the character of a vintage watch, while its design still feels completely modern.

An early example of the 3570.50 reference, combining Omega's Calibre 1861 movement with the character of its tritium-era Speedmasters. A manual-wind chronograph made to be used and worn, with three decades of history visible in its details.

Two additional Delugs curved rubber straps offer a different way to wear it. A period-correct Omega presentation box, document wallet and booklets were sourced separately to accompany the watch.

We call it The Champion as a nod to Damon Hill's 1996 Formula One World Championship, the same year this watch is believed to date to.

CONDITION

Very good vintage condition with visible age and wear.

Dial: Warm aging to the luminous material.
Hands: Visible aging, with some luminous material missing from the minute hand, as photographed.
Lume: Glows after exposure to light, then fades over a short period.
Case, bezel, bracelet and clasp: Surface wear and handling marks consistent with age and use.

Please review the detailed photographs, including the close-ups of the Hesalite crystal.
