The Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow brings the pointed hour hand and steel tachymeter bezel of the original 1957 Speedmaster into an automatic chronograph built for everyday wear. It’s a different proposition from the Moonwatch: familiar Speedmaster contours, but with polished details, a date window, and a distinctly dressier character.
The white-dial 3551.20, also written 3551.20.00, is a particularly satisfying place to start. Its blue hands and hour markers give the dial contrast without losing the restrained look, while the automatic caliber 3303 uses a column wheel to control the chronograph. Early examples of this movement family had documented chronograph troubles, so operation deserves particular attention: start, stop, and reset should work consistently, with all chronograph hands returning precisely to zero. Don’t assume every Broad Arrow shares this movement; the name spans several generations.
What owners love
- On the white-dial 3551.20, the blued hands and applied markers are the detail owners keep coming back to: almost black in some light, then vividly blue as you turn your wrist. The dial looks noticeably different outdoors than it does across a desk.
- Owners appreciate getting automatic winding and a date without losing the familiar Speedmaster case shape and tachymeter bezel. The broad-arrow hour hand also gives it a distinctly different face from the Moonwatch.
Common Criticisms
- Early examples with the 3303 have a well-documented history of chronograph problems, including hands failing to reset correctly. Not every watch suffered, but owners' reports of repairs are a real part of the Broad Arrow story rather than just a generic concern about mechanical chronographs.
