Omega Speedmaster French RAID Police Reference Guide

The Omega Speedmaster Reduced, reference 3513.50.00, represents a more compact and accessible option within the broader Speedmaster collection. This particular reference features a design that echoes the classic Speedmaster aesthetic but in a smaller case size, making it suitable for a wider range of wrist sizes. It was produced during a period when Omega offered various iterations of the Speedmaster, catering to different preferences while maintaining a consistent visual identity. This model is distinguished by its automatic movement, offering convenience compared to the manual-wind Professional series.

This Speedmaster Reduced is housed in a stainless steel case measuring 39 mm in diameter, providing a balanced presence on the wrist. It is fitted with a sapphire crystal, known for its scratch resistance, protecting a black dial. The watch is powered by the Omega caliber 3220, an automatic movement with a power reserve of 44 hours. The fixed stainless steel bezel features a tachymeter scale, a characteristic element of the Speedmaster line, and the watch offers a water resistance of 30 meters.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking a Speedmaster with automatic winding and a more understated case dimension. Its design maintains the core visual elements of the Speedmaster, including the chronograph subdials and the tachymeter bezel, making it a recognizable member of the family. The 3513.50.00 offers a distinct alternative to the larger, manually wound Speedmaster Professional, providing a different wearing experience while retaining the brand's chronograph heritage.
