The case and bracelet both carry a traditional speedy look, although the bezel is of the sleeker steel embossed variety, and the royal blue dial with all of its functions is quite striking.
Note that it appears lighter blue under the bright photography lights. In person it is Omega's rich traditional royal blue.
It is the more desirable second generation of this model with Hypocampus case back.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
Speedmaster:
In 1957, Omega unveiled a chronograph that was a true technological marvel, the Speedmaster. Its incredible durability and accuracy would not only win it accolades around the world and the distinction of being the first watch to be worn on the moon, it would accomplish something far more important, guiding the crew of Apollo 13 safely back home after their malfunctioning electronic systems had shut down.
