Omega Speedmaster Salmon Grand Prix (Ref. 3511.60), 1997

Dealer description — Huntington Company

History and Significance This Omega Speedmaster Ref. 3511.60 was released in 1997 as part of the “Grand Prix” series, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Speedmaster line. Distinguished by its rare salmon-colored dial, this variant was produced in limited numbers and has become one of the rarer versions of the automatic Speedmaster Reduced. It carries the same design DNA that defined the Speedmaster family: a tachymeter bezel, tri-compax chronograph layout, and bold yet compact proportions, but in a 39mm case that wears comfortably for a wide range of wrists. The dial itself is the centerpiece, displaying a warm metallic salmon tone with applied indices and white subdials, all retaining their original tritium lume. The automatic chronograph movement (Caliber 1152, based on the ETA 2890-A2 with a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module) delivers dependable performance while maintaining the classic Speedmaster look. Writer’s Thoughts This 3511.60 is the kind of Speedmaster that stands out quietly, instantly recognizable yet distinct from the countless Moonwatch variants. The 39mm case makes it especially wearable, and the salmon dial gives it a rare character that feels equally vintage and contemporary. It’s a great entry point for collectors who appreciate rarity without ostentation. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed to be authentic. This Omega Speedmaster is presented in original condition, representing both timeless style and enduring quality.
