Dynamic III Date Stainless Steel / Black / Yellow Coramide

In Context

At 36.5 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

5250.50.40 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black matte dial with a stainless steel case. Introduced in 1997.

An ETA 2892-A2 in Omega's hands, fitted to the Dynamic III with a date. It winds both ways, hacks, and sets the date quickly. Mechanically it is the same movement as the 1109 in the Seamaster Professional 300M, minus the chronometer certification — and because the 2892 is among the most widely produced automatics ever made, parts and servicing stay straightforward.

3 other watches in the library run the Omega 1108.
