Enter the Omega Speedmaster Automatic, also known as the Speedmaster Reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e A few aesthetic changes distinguishes the Speedmaster Automatic from the Moonwatch – spread-out sub dials, the word \"Automatic\" under Speedmaster at 12 o'clock – but the DNA of the Speedy is still undeniable. There's the recognizable black dial and black aluminum tachymeter bezel, Hesalite crystal, and those distinctive twisted lugs. For those who love the history and look of the Speedmaster, but the 42mm, lyre-lug case might be a bit too large this Speedmaster Reduced is here for you. Discontinued in 2009, it's become something of a cult hit for enthusiasts who just want a practical, wearable Speedmaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere were a few versions of the Speedmaster Reduced during its two-decade production run. Omega offered the it in stainless steel, solid yellow gold, and two-tone steel and gold. There were also bracelet versions and leather strap versions, in addition to different dial colors. OMEGA even made date, perpetual calendar, day-date, and\u003cspan\u003e moonphase\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eversions of the Speedy Reduced chronograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common models are the no-date stainless steel ones with black dials and black bezels. The first generation included the references ST.175.0032 (leather strap) and ST.375.0032 (steel bracelet). Because OMEGA changed its coding system in the late 1980s, this version of the Speedmaster Reduced is also known as the ref. 3510.50.00.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2006, omega introduced the upgraded Reduced (ref. 3539.50.00) with a sapphire crystal instead of a Hesalite crystal and a slightly redesigned dial. However, by 2009, OMEGA had stopped producing the Reduced collection altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe movements of the no-date Speedmaster Reduced watches went by different names over the years. First calibre 1140 (1988), followed by Caliber 1141 (1996), then Caliber 1143 (1996), and finally Caliber 3220 (2000). Regardless of the name, the movement is virtually the same – a time-only ETA 2892-A2 base fitted with a Dubois Dépraz 2020 chronograph module. This setup gives a combined thickness of just 6.5mm. For comparison, a Valjoux\/ETA 7750 'the modern workhorse' comes in close to 8mm. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmega launched the Speedmaster reduced in 1988 as a more practical and versatile take on the legendary Speedmaster design. Measuring 39mm, it offered a slightly more compact fit than the traditional Moonwatch, giving it broad everyday appeal. Powering the watch is the Omega calibre 1140 automatic movement, designed for effortless daily wear with the convenience of self-winding reliability. A fantastic piece of Omega history, freshly serviced and running beautifully, brought from the past into the present, ready to be enjoyed well into the future with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57996867338627,"sku":"OSR5338WO","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/omega-reduced-3510.50-front-_4.jpg?v=1778237687","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-omega-watch-speedmaster-reduced-3510-50-automatic-chronograph-circa-1990s","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
