Omega "Speedmaster Automatic Reduced", Case No. 51748510, Ref. 175.0032, Cal. 1140/ETA 2890-2, 39 mm, circa 1999

An automatic wristwatch with chronograph - rare gold version - with original box and operating instructions
Case: 18k gold, glazed push back, tachy bezel, Omega buckle. Dial: white.
Designed to be a less-expensive, smaller, automatic version of the Omega classic Speedmaster Professional ("Moon Watch"), the Speedmaster Reduced has gained fans thanks to the smaller size and different dial. In contrast to the original Speedmaster, it has an automatic movement with wider-spaced subdials. Because the movement is (traditionally) modular, the Speedmaster Reduced is thicker than the original Speedmaster Professional, however, and sits higher on the wrist. Most Speedmaster Reduced models used modular movements (Cal. 1140, 1143, 3220 since 2000 and 3220 since 2003), pairing an ETA base with a chronograph module by Dubois-Depraz.
