History Introduced as a more compact, automatic alternative to the traditional Moonwatch, the Speedmaster Reduced brought the famous asymmetrical case design and tachymetre bezel to a highly wearable 39 mm profile. Produced through the 1990s, these models utilized the Caliber 1140, which paired a robust ETA 2890-2 base movement with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module. This configuration allowed Omega to offer the Speedmaster aesthetic with the everyday convenience of automatic winding, making it a highly successful and enduring part of the modern catalogue. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-SAX-0007
