Turning the watch over, the solid caseback features the deeply engraved Hippocampus medallion, the "100m/330ft" depth rating, and Omega's anti-counterfeit globe engraving. The serial number is sharply stamped on the underside of the lug, confirming the case's integrity and unpolished character.

The Speedmaster Date models brought chronometer-certified precision and the convenience of automatic winding to the forefront, proving that the Moonwatch's iconic styling could be successfully adapted for the modern, dynamic lifestyle while remaining true to its legendary origins. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OSA-0026
