Review the OMEGA Speedmaster 38 mm ‘cappuccino’ watch replica

OMEGA's Speedmaster line, which was born in the last century, has been a favorite of consumers since its inception. This winter, we bring to women a 38mm watch from the OMEGA Speedmaster collection in a color scheme that resembles a hot cappuccino, also known as a "cappuccino dial", OMEGA Speedmaster 38 mm ‘cappuccino’ watch replica 324.68.38.50.02.003.

THE CASE

The solid 18k gold case is crafted from Sedna, Omega’s proprietary gold alloy. With its blend of 75% gold, copper and palladium, the unique reddish colour is extremely attractive. The warm reddish gold looks very good indeed with the coffee-coloured tachymetre scale and the creamy dial and there’s that reassuring feeling of weight that only gold can impart. The reverse side of the watch is sealed and decorated with a large Seahorse medallion, an emblem of the Omega Seamaster replica family to which the Speedmaster originally belonged. There is also an engraving alluding to the 100m water-resistance of the watch, a gold hallmark and the words ‘column-wheel’ and ‘Si14’ referring to the type of chronograph and the silicon technology in the movement.

THE DIAL

The dial is a uniform creamy colour and this particular combination of a creamy dial and coffee coloured tachymetre scale explains the ‘cappuccino’ nickname of the watch. One of the salient features of the 38mm family is the shape of the three sub-dials. Instead of being round, the three counters are oval and slightly recessed to reveal a snailed background with the pertinent markings (running seconds at 9, 30-minute elapsed times at 3 and 12-hour elapsed times at 6 o’clock). To match the red gold case and underscore the luxurious character of the Omega watch replica, the hands and the applied indices are all crafted in Sedna gold. The finishes throughout are excellent, just look at the sharp faceted and polished hour markers, for example. As a luxury sports watch replica, luminescence is mandatory and the central hands and dots on the external periphery of the hour markers are all treated with white Super-LumiNova.

There is a date window inserted inside the 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock. Also shaped like an oval but placed vertically, the date window extends beyond the horizontal oval confines of the counter and has a white background. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. No matter how historically ‘accurate’ a Hesalite crystal might be, the truth is that Hesalite scratches easily although it can be polished. Better keep this for the more hardcore Moonwatch versions.

CALIBRE 3330

Hidden under the sealed caseback with the seahorse is Omega’s in-house automatic chronograph movement. Calibre 3339, based on the Piguet 1285, is equipped with a column-wheel mechanism, a patented Co-Axial escapement and a silicon balance spring the watch replica is officially certified as a chronometer and offers a solid 52h power reserve.

CONCLUSION

The Omega Speedmaster 38 mm replica is an elegant, feminine take on the Speedmaster. It displays some of the indispensable credentials of the Speedmaster like the aluminium tachymetre scale on the bezel and the hallmark lyre lugs. The rich luxurious Sedna gold case, the warm cappuccino colour scheme and the diamond-set bezel work very well together. Although it is modelled on an iconic gent’s watch, the designers have incorporated subtle changes – like the oval-shaped sub-dials – that give the watch a marked feminine identity.

Priced at $15,600 for the standard bezel and $18,900 for the models with the diamond-set bezel, while I'd expect these to be a rare sight in the wild, it is hard to argue with execution (especially the green/yellow gold with the bright silver dial). For more general Omega fans, it speaks directly to the quality and flexibility of the Speedmaster design language.
