Description
The Omega Speedmaster Reduced ref. 3510.50 features a 39mm stainless steel case, offering a slightly smaller take on the iconic Speedmaster design. Its compact dimensions ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist, appealing to those who prefer a more understated yet still recognizable version of this legendary chronograph.

The reduced size enhances the watch’s versatility, making it a seamless choice for both casual outings and more formal occasions.
The Movement
At the heart of the Speedmaster Reduced ref. 3510.50 lies the Caliber 1140, an automatic chronograph movement derived from the ETA 2890-A2 base with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module. This self-winding movement combines precision with convenience, providing the functionality of a chronograph in an automatic format. Its design represents a practical alternative to the manual-wind movements of traditional Speedmaster models, appealing to those seeking the signature Speedmaster look in a more accessible and user-friendly package.
The Dial
The black dial of the ref. 3510.50 mirrors the timeless style of the Speedmaster line, featuring a classic tri-compax layout with subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The white stick markers and luminous baton hands offer excellent legibility, even in dim lighting, staying true to the Speedmaster’s origins as a professional tool watch. The applied Omega logo and the “Speedmaster” branding at the center reinforce the watch’s place within Omega’s most celebrated collection. The contrast between the black dial and white markers, along with the tachymeter bezel, gives this model its unmistakable aesthetic, beloved by Speedmaster enthusiasts.
A Compact Icon
Released in 1998, the Omega Speedmaster Reduced ref. 3510.50 is an ideal choice for those who appreciate the Speedmaster’s heritage but prefer a smaller, automatic version of the design. Combining durable construction, a reliable movement, and the iconic styling of the Speedmaster line, this watch offers the essence of Omega’s chronograph legacy in a more approachable format.
