This model is powered by the Omega caliber 3220, a 47-jewel modular automatic chronograph built upon an ETA 2892 base movement with a Dubois Depraz module. This combination provides reliable automatic winding alongside classic chronograph functionality, making the Reduced a highly versatile member of the Speedmaster family. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-SXX-0066
