Omega do currently offer a 38mm automatic Speedmaster with applied indices in a range of colours (not just "pink it and shrink it" variants).

That's quite an interesting one, I remember seeing the other color schemes and being put off by the oval date window. Interesting they're only using this shape on this particular color scheme.
I might have a look at one in real life, found a shop nearby who stocks it apparently. The dial seems to have a little sunburst effect as well which is a nice touch.
Thanks!

I like the yelllowed lume but unfortunately they tend to develop mold on the lume that's on the hands. You can often see dark spots.
I've found a NOS one not too far away from where I am but as it's NOS, it's more expensive than the usual offering.
I've tried the "regular" Speedmasters but found them quite disappointing in real life as the dial is really "flat" and not to my liking. And I would like a date indication as well as that's the only thing I'm currently missing on my Seamaster.
I really like the latest Speedmaster '57 version with the green dial but that's a different price point all together and also a manual movement which doesn't have my preference per se.
