Omega "Speedmaster Automatic Reduced Japan", Ref. 175.0032 / 175.0033, Cal. 3220A, 39 mm, circa 2003
A rare bi-color automatic wristwatch with chronograph
Case: steel/gold, push back with Speedmaster logo, tachy bezel, gold "Omega" crown and chronograph pushers. Dial: white. Movm.: rotorwind movement, Glucydur balance.
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.
