Omega Speedmaster Date I Pink “Salmon” Dial | Rare Japan Edition | Ref. 3513.60
The Omega Speedmaster Date Ref. 3513.60 is one of the more unusual neo-vintage automatic Speedmaster variations, distinguished by its striking salmon-pink dial and Japanese-market configuration. Introduced around 2001, it stands apart from the more traditional black, silver, and blue Speedmaster Date models and has become increasingly appealing to collectors seeking less commonly encountered Omega dial colors. Its approximately 39mm stainless-steel case is paired with a matching tachymeter bezel and bracelet, creating a clean monochromatic framework around the colorful dial, while the salmon finish can shift between pink, copper, rose, and champagne-like tones depending on the lighting.
The dial features three recessed chronograph registers with polished metal surrounds and applied silver-tone hour markers, with the 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock, running seconds at 9 o’clock, 12-hour chronograph counter at 6 o’clock, and date aperture at 3 o’clock. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the Omega Calibre 1152 automatic chronograph movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 44 hours of power reserve. What makes the Ref. 3513.60 particularly compelling is the combination of its rare salmon dial, compact 39mm proportions, Japanese-market history, and traditional stainless-steel Speedmaster construction, with documented examples appearing far less frequently than standard Speedmaster Date references.
