the Omega Speedmaster Automatic Day-Date 3520.50.00Īs such, I’ve always kept a keen eye on the so-called “reduced” models. While these models might not be what normally comes to mind when one says “Speedmaster” they take their namesake seriously, and are ultimately great expressions of my favorite type of watch, the chronograph, made by one of the great Swiss brands. Models that feature different case shapes and styles, not to mention wholly different movements and dial designs. Speedmasters that might only resemble their kin thanks to the word “Speedmaster” being printed on their dials. However, thanks to a mix of flipping, being slightly disappointed in some purchases, and having too much time on my hands during the lockdown, this Speedie moved off the list and into my collection in mid-2020.Įver since picking up the criminally underrated Speedmaster Mk 4.5 some years ago (which since left my collection, but I feel will make a return) I gained an appreciation for off-the-beaten-path Speedmasters. For years it lived on this limbo-list, occasionally prompting an inquiry on the forums, a trade offer here and there. The Speedmaster 3520.50.00 was one such watch. Or they have some feature I want to experience, but not so urgently as to force me to spend the cash. Perhaps they are odd or obscure but not highly valuable, relieving purchase pressure. For me, somewhere in there is an offshoot of watches I’ve stumbled upon that intrigue me, but don’t have a pressing need to be bought. On one end of the list might be new and noteworthy watches you just have to try, while on the other are watches you wish you could have but know are unlikely to obtain. As a watch collector, it’s only natural to create lists, whether physical or mental, of the timepieces we wish to acquire.
