Omega Speedmaster Mark III Automatic Chronograph

Post date: Oct 18, 2016 7:38:36 AM

Omega Speedmaster Mark III Automatic launched in 1971, the first automatic chronograph of the brand. It was presented as the next step in the Speedmaster-series: a self-winding Speedmaster. The watch featured the new, automatic chronograph movement c 1040, housed in a funky chunk of steel. In retrospect, there is a lot to love about the Omega Speedmaster Mark III, its ridiculous case and the inconsistent Mark-line.More replica Omega Speedmaster.

The automatic chronograph became available to the public in 1969 by Zenith, while Breitling and Heuer/Leonidas were also completing their versions (ChronoMatic). Seiko had already released the very first automatic chronograph (caliber 6139) earlier in 1969, however only available to the Japanese market. Omega’s first automatic chronograph movement, calibre 1040, had been developed with Lemania and was presented in 1971 in the Omega Speedmaster Mark III.

The central rotor winding automatic chronograph, with a diameter of 13 3/4 lines and a height of 8 mm, featured a central 60 minutes counter (the ‘jet’ hand), a central ‘stopwatch’ hand counting a minute in 5ths of a second, a 12-hrs counter at 6 o’clock, a double counter at 9 o’clock and a date at 3. The double counter at 9 consisted of a continuous seconds counter and a 24-hrs dial showing day or night. It is possible that the huge case was built to house this thick movement.
