History
The Omega Speedmaster line has seen numerous variations since its inception, with the automatic models offering a slightly more compact alternative to the Professional series. The first series of these watches, utilizing the Caliber 1140, was produced from 1988 to 1996. Early Speedmaster examples from this era frequently feature both reference numbers, 175 0032 and 175 0033, stamped side by side on the caseback, reflecting the transitional production methods of the period.
