Omega offers an update of the classic Speedmaster Mark II with the introduction of an automatic movement and a tachymeter scale visible even in low light. The polished steel case frames a dial on which the three chronograph counters are clearly recognisable: the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock and the small seconds counter at 9 o'clock. The dial, in grey and matt black versions, is protected by a flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The transparent tachymeter scale on the sapphire crystal is backlit by an aluminium ring filled with SuperLuminova: the hour and minute hands are also coated in the same material, as is the central chronograph hand. The case is completed by a brushed steel bracelet fitted with an adjustable folding clasp. Compared to the original, the new Speedmaster Mark II is distinguished from the 1969 watch from which it draws its inspiration by the Co-Axial calibre 3330, a self-winding movement with an Si14 silicon balance spring and column-wheel chronograph mechanism. Water-resistant to 10 atmospheres, it is covered by a four-year warranty.
