Serial numbers
- 46000000 – 48900000 (1997–1999) — Approximate early-production range. Tritinova transition documented at approx. 48.365.xxx–48.385.xxx. Serial number engraved between the lugs at 6 o'clock.
- 77000000 – 79999999 (2000–2014) — New Omega numbering series from approx. 2000 onward. S/N 77.056.935 = 2005 verified (dealer receipt). Exact year attribution via ilovemyspeedmaster.com (Omega archive basis) recommended.
The 3570.50.00 replaces the old Ref. 145.022, and the break is sharper than in most Moonwatch transitions. Instead of the Cal. 861, the movement is now the Cal. 1861, 18 jewels, rhodium-plated, running at 21,600 vibrations per hour. More important for collectors: tritium disappears, SuperLuminova arrives. The earliest examples still carry the "T SWISS MADE T" signature, with serial numbers between 48.365.xxx and 48.385.xxx — known among collectors as Tritinova, a transitional dial that pairs the old lume designation with the new material. Anyone who comes across a 3570.50 with this signature is holding a piece of the changeover year, not a standard production run.
## Three Bracelets in Five Years
In 1998, the bracelet switches from reference 1499/842 to 1498/840, tapering more slenderly from 20 down to 16 millimeters, and widely regarded as the most balanced bracelet variant of the entire 3570.50 era. Just a year later, in 1999, comes the 1998/840 — still with the old clasp lacking a push-button, but with a heftier profile and a 20-to-18-millimeter taper. The real ergonomic shift doesn't arrive until 2002: clasp 849 with side safety pushers, known among collectors as the "Blocky Clasp" or "Big Square Clasp." Three bracelet changes in four years on what is essentially the same case — which makes the 3570.50 a reference where the bracelet often tells you more about the production year than the dial does.
## The End of an Era in 2014
In 2014, the reference nomenclature 3570.50.00 gives way to the six-digit system, becoming 311.30.42.30.01.005 at first, with the Cal. 1861 unchanged. The physical format stays the same: 42 millimeters, Hesalite crystal, hand-wound. It's exactly this continuity that explains why Cal. 1861 examples of the 3570.50 are regarded today as the "Classic Moonwatch" — 17 years of production without a break in the core construction.
Brand profile: Omega
Omega is the second most counterfeited Swiss watch brand. The Speedmaster and Seamaster are especially targeted. Pay close attention to movement details (Co-Axial) and dial textures.
- Speedmaster: The chronograph reset hand must snap back precisely to 12 o'clock — fakes stop 1–3 seconds off or wobble
- Speedmaster (Hesalite): The Omega logo is micro-laser-etched on the UNDERSIDE of the Hesalite crystal — only visible at a specific angle and in the right light — fakes omit it or place it incorrectly
- Seamaster: The wave-pattern dial must be ENGRAVED (tactile relief) — printed/flat wave lines = fake
- DON (Dot Over Ninety): small dot ABOVE the '90' on the Speedmaster tachymeter bezel — position/size often wrong on fakes
Serial number format: Omega serial number: 8-digit number on the caseback or between the lugs (on older models). Since ~2018 engraved on the caseback at 6 o'clock. Format: purely numeric. Verifiable on the Omega website with an extract from the archive.
