Q: What is the Omega Speedmaster 39mm “AC Milan 100th Anniversary” (1999)? A: It is a limited-edition Speedmaster Reduced created in 1999 to celebrate AC Milan’s centenary. Key features include a 39mm stainless-steel case, black tachymeter bezel, black tri-register dial with red “1899–1999” script above 6 o’clock, and a commemorative AC Milan engraving on the case back.
Q: How limited is it and is the watch individually numbered? A: Yes. The edition was limited to 1,999 pieces, and each watch is individually numbered on the case back.
Q: Which movement does it use? A: The watch is powered by the automatic Omega Calibre 1143, based on the ETA 2892‑A2 with a Dubois‑Depraz chronograph module. It beats at 28,800 vph and offers an approximate 42‑hour power reserve. As with all modular chronographs, servicing should be done by a qualified specialist.
Q: Does this AC Milan edition have a date function? A: No. This reference is a no‑date chronograph with running seconds, 30‑minute and 12‑hour counters.
Q: What crystal does it have—Hesalite or sapphire? A: This model is fitted with a Hesalite (plexi) crystal, consistent with many Speedmaster Reduced references from the period.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: When new, the reference was rated to 5 bar/50 metres. As this is a vintage watch, we do not guarantee water resistance without a recent pressure test. Treat it as splash‑resistant and avoid swimming or showering unless it has been tested and re‑sealed.
Q: How does it differ from the Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch”? A: The AC Milan is the “Reduced” format: 39mm and automatic with a modular chronograph, versus the Moonwatch’s 42mm hand‑wound movement. The Reduced wears smaller and slightly thicker, while retaining the iconic tachymeter bezel and tri‑compax aesthetic.
Q: What are the case and case‑back details? A: The watch has a 39mm stainless‑steel case with an engraved, snap‑back case back featuring AC Milan centenary markings. Lug width is 18mm, making strap changes straightforward.
Q: What is the fit, condition, and what’s included with this listing? A: This piece is in Very Good condition with light traces of use and surface scratches on the case, case back and bracelet. It fits wrists up to approximately 18.5 cm. It is sold watch‑only (no original box or papers).
Q: How do I operate the chronograph and care for the watch? A: Start/stop the chronograph with the upper pusher and reset with the lower pusher only after stopping. Avoid impacts and magnets, keep away from water unless tested, and have it serviced periodically (typically every 5–7 years) by a specialist familiar with modular chronographs.
Q: Is it authentic and is there a warranty and returns policy? A: A Retro Tale guarantees 100% authenticity and provides a 12‑month mechanical warranty. We offer free, fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers.
