Omega Speedmaster Reduced 175.00.33

Omega Speedmaster YG 175.0033

Released in 1957 and based on their earlier chronographs from the 1920s and '30s, the Omega Speedmaster is one of the most iconic chronographs ever. Named after the purpose of the tachymeter along its bezel, the Speedmaster was designed for race car drivers and pilots to time events and make rapid calculations. While these adrenaline-fueled activities might not be for the faint-hearted, they weren't what made the Speedmaster so iconic - that was its use in space and on the Moon. Following a gruelling series of tests with several competing brands, the Speedmaster debuted in space as a piece of NASA standard-issue equipment during the Gemini program of 1965. Today the Speedmaster has many forms, with the Speedmaster Reduced being one such design. A rather luxurious take on the Speedmaster Reduced, the ref. 175.0033 that we have here boasts an 18kt yellow gold construction that has taken the Speedmaster’s typical 42mm diameter and downsized it to 39mm. Sporting a golden dial for a completely monochromatic aesthetic, this neo-vintage Speedmaster Reduced is the perfect combination of luxury and everyday casual wearability.

THE CONSTRUCTION Boasting a luxurious 18kt yellow gold construction, the ref. 175.033's case takes the Speedmaster Professional's iconic design and shrinks it from an imposing 42mm down to a universally-wearable 39mm.
