Dial and Hands
The matte black dial is exceptionally clean, featuring crisp and intact printed white text. Its luminous hour markers have aged to an attractive, even creamy yellow patina that gives the watch beautiful vintage character. The sub-dials are finished with concentric circular graining. The white painted main hands retain luminous inserts that perfectly match the dial patina, complemented by a chronograph seconds hand with a luminous tip and white painted sub-dial hands. The paint and luminous material appear intact with only minor signs of aging, remaining well-preserved and visually consistent with the dial.

Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case features Omega's signature twisted lyre lugs and shows honest vintage wear with well-preserved geometry. Brushed and polished surfaces display normal wear and light scratches consistent with age, while the edges remain reasonably defined. The fixed steel bezel with a black tachymetre insert shows some minor edge wear and light scratches but remains fully legible with no major dents or deep gouges. The knurled steel crown is clearly signed with the Omega logo on its face and is flanked by two pump pushers for the chronograph. A domed crystal provides clear visibility of the dial and exhibits some minor surface scratches visible under certain lighting angles. The caseback exterior displays a clear seahorse engraving and the serial number.

Movement
Inside is the automatic chronograph Caliber 1140, a modular movement that pairs an ETA base with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module. The movement features a gilded gold-tone finish on the plates and rotor, appearing very clean with no visible corrosion, oxidation, or damaged screw heads. Engravings reading OMEGA 1140, FORTY-FIVE 45 JEWELS, and SWISS remain crisp and clear. The timegrapher reads +4+5s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.

Strap
The watch is fitted with its original signed stainless steel link bracelet, complete with endlinks stamped 811. The clasp is signed with the Omega logo and the Speedmaster name. The bracelet shows normal surface scratches and wear typical of use, presenting honest character that matches the case, and accommodates a maximum wrist size of 18.5cm.

Condition

Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is performing very strongly.

Remarks
This is a well-preserved example of the popular Speedmaster Automatic. The exceptionally clean matte black dial, beautifully aged luminous patina, and original matching bracelet make this an excellent choice for any enthusiast looking to enjoy a highly capable mechanical chronograph with fantastic visual character.

History
Introduced in 1988, the reference 175.0032 is widely known as the Speedmaster Automatic Reduced. Designed to offer the classic aesthetics of the traditional Speedmaster Professional in a slightly more compact 39 mm case, this model became a highly successful pillar of the Omega catalog. It utilizes the modular Caliber 1140, which cleverly pairs a reliable automatic base with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module. This configuration allowed Omega to provide the convenience of self-winding functionality while retaining the beloved visual proportions of the Speedmaster line.
