A rare wristwatch with chronograph, 30 min. and 12h counter, auxiliary seconds and tachy bezel, sold on August 27th, 1999 - with original box, operating instructions and guarantee card
Case: steel, push back with Speedmaster logo, solid Omega bracelet ref. 1469 with endlinks stamped 811, bracelet length 150 mm, total length 195 mm. Dial: black.
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.
