Short answer

Omega does not sell a watch called the Speedmaster 329. The 329 prefix belongs to Speedmaster Day-Date references, for example 3291.50.00. That watch has a 40 mm steel case, an automatic chronograph movement, and a triple calendar: day, date, month, plus a 24-hour hand. The watch most buyers picture when they hear "Speedmaster" is the Moonwatch, references 3570.50.00 or 311.30.42.30.01.005: 42 mm, manual wind, no calendar.

A listing for a "Speedmaster 329 replica" is a copy of the Day-Date, not the Moonwatch. Ask the seller for the full reference number before you pay. Without it, the listing is incomplete and the photos may show a different watch than the one that ships.

What the 329 case looks like

  • Case: 40 mm steel, twisted lugs, brushed sides with a polished bevel.
  • Dial: three subdials at 6, 9, and 12, with day and month windows under the 12 and a date window at 6.
  • Bezel: fixed steel with a tachymeter scale, no ceramic insert.
  • Crystal: sapphire on most 329 references.
  • Bracelet: steel, 20 mm lug width.

Two details separate a good copy from a poor one. First, subdial spacing: on the genuine caliber 1151 the subdials sit close to the center, and a wide gap is a sign of a smaller generic movement. Second, the calendar windows: the fonts are small, and misaligned day and month discs show through on cheap copies.

Movement

The genuine 3291.50.00 runs Omega caliber 1151, an automatic chronograph built on a Valjoux 7751 base. Copies use one of three movements: a Chinese automatic chronograph, a quartz module, or a 7750 clone without the calendar. A quartz copy has a ticking seconds hand. An automatic copy has a sweeping hand but adds 1 mm to 2 mm of case thickness. Ask which movement is inside and ask for a photo of the caseback.

Size and weight

Genuine case: 40 mm across, about 14 mm thick. Many replicas measure 41 mm to 42 mm and 15 mm thick, which changes how the watch sits under a cuff. Head weight for a steel 40 mm chronograph is roughly 80 g to 90 g on a bracelet. A copy under 70 g points to a plated brass case.

Price points

Replica Day-Date chronographs sell for about $150 to $400. Under $100 means quartz and a plated case. Above $500 buys better finishing, but the case is still not solid gold on two-tone models. Used genuine 3291.50.00 watches list in the low thousands of dollars on resale sites. That gap is the main check: a $300 offer is a copy, and a seller who calls it genuine at that price is lying.

Checks before you pay

  1. Get the full reference in writing, not just "329".
  2. Ask for a photo of the caseback and the movement.
  3. Confirm case diameter and thickness with a caliper photo.
  4. Confirm the calendar flips at midnight and the pushers reset to zero.
  5. Confirm the crystal is sapphire, not mineral glass.
  6. Check the return policy and the shipping method.

Legal note

Counterfeit watches are illegal to sell in the US and the EU, and customs can seize a shipment. Trademark law covers the logo and the name, not the shape of the case. Buy with that risk in mind.
