Omega Revives the Reduced Era in a 38mm Speedmaster

Omega unveiled a 38mm Speedmaster that channels the classic Speedmaster Reduced: an automatic Cal. 3332 movement (no METAS), Moonwatch-inspired dial and bezel with the dot-over-90, 100m water resistance, a hippocampus-engraved caseback, and a $6,500 price with several steel variants.

Omega reveals a new generation of the Speedmaster 38mm, dropping the oval subdials in favor of a Moonwatch‑style look, a wider bezel, and an updated 5‑link bracelet with Omega’s micro‑adjust. Seven variants span steel, bi‑metal, and diamond‑set bezels, including black, white, silver, ivory, and Moonshine/ Sedna gold accents, all using Caliber 3330 or 3332, in a 38mm case about 14.75mm thick. Prices start at $6,500 (steel) and rise to around $13,100 for diamond models, with availability listed as now. The piece notes the refresh is aesthetically strong but wishes for slimmer proportions and a new caliber in the future.

Six years with the Calibre 321 Speedmaster show it as the standout modern steel Speedmaster: it wears like a high-end piece thanks to the galvanic dial, meticulous finishing, and hand-assembled movement, even without Master Chronometer certification or strong water resistance. Magnetism issues were quickly resolved under warranty, and at about €17,100 it’s pricier than the standard Moonwatch, but the author would buy it again if budget allows, with a vintage 105.003 as a compelling alternative.
