Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch VS Speedmaster Reduced

First of all, the size of the watches differ from eachother. Where the Speedmaster Pro measures 42mm (diameter), the Speedy Reduced is a tad bit smaller with its 38mm (and not 35.5mm as the OMEGA website states, I don’t know why they did this). More replica Omega Speedmaster.

The movement is quite different! This explains the difference in dial lay-out as well. As you can see on the pictures, the sub dials are quite far away from the center on the Speedy Reduced where the sub dials on the ‘Moonwatch’ are closer to the center pinion. The Speedy Reduced also has the wording ‘Automatic’ on its dial and features the minutes in Arabic numerals at each hour marker. Below, an image of the hand-wound movement of the Speedmaster Professional.

The movement of the Speedmaster Professional is of course the hand-wound Lemania based chronograph, either caliber 321, 861, 863, 1861 or 1863 (depends on the age of the watch). The Speedy Reduced has an automatic movement, based on the ETA 2890-A2 (no date), also known as Omega caliber 3220. On top (no pun intended), there is a add-on Dubois-Dépraz 2020 chronograph module on the ETA base movement.
