On my 17cm/6.75inch wrist it looks great! Zero regrets. Under a loop you can really appreciate the detail.

Nice my man, thank you for reviewing the Reduced! I requested this from you a few months back and you delivered 👍🏼

Hello, again young man! As a combat vet; I want to thank YOU for displaying the "Flag" in your shadow box where it is very prominent!!

Personally, I have always liked the Speedy reduced. Yeah, the bracelet is a little narrow, but that is not a dealbreaker.

Hi Guy. Very nice and thorough review as always. I own both watches since I like the speedmaster line a lot and consider they´re sufficiently apart to justify owning both. The auto was given to me by my father and the PRO I was able to buy years later. Just a little insight on my ownership experience you (or somebody) might find useful. It´s not that the auto is more expensive to service but I can assure you it´s way more delicate so you would have to get it serviced or repaired more often. This contrasts a lot with the profesional more robust lemania based movement. I had a couple of issues with the auto that I never experienced with the pro, like for instance hands going out of alignment propably due to shocks or fast gestures (playing sports) and so on and even due to normal long term operation. This is probably why the reduced was not certified for space flight I probably It couldn´t have been. On the positive side, I feel that the automatic is a way more dressier watch despite the fact it has a busier dial. I find myself putting on the auto/reduced on more dressed up ocations and because of the more compact size and the jubilee-style bracelet it complements a suit or black tie way better that the PRO. The auto just looks amazing with a tie and the pro is just too big, even though it sits well on my wrist. I just feel a can´t get rid of any of them and decided to keep them both. Probably this is has to do with the order I got them too. The pro may be the real deal but the auto appeals more to the heart with its little quirks and accesible price for what it is.

I love my Speedmaster Professional and i love yours as well. Nuff said

I'm a proud owner of both watches. I purchased the Reduced first but ended up buying Speedy Pro about 6 months later. I like them both. One useless information, on Speedy Pro the inside and outside of the bracelet is exactly the same. I think that's why it's very comfortable to wear.

I love smaller watches but some watches are supposed to be bigger. Some omegas, breitlings and panerai.

It's perfect, it looks great on your wrist.

Another great vid! I’m glad I went with the professional moon !

Hi! thx for this review , I have a "reduced" and I must say, having a smaller wrist it actually fits perfectly....Besides, it really measures 37,5/38 not exactly 39. The movement unfortunately is not quite in the cosc limits...But on the whole it is a nice watch, nicer bracelet...Does a datejust 36mm wear bigger? I don't think so...(maybe due to the 20mm lug width) regards!

Enjoyed your review, thanks. I noticed that the reduced model appears to have a pressure back whereas the professional has a screw down back. I am in the throws of squiring the professional “moonwatch”

size is great but I don't like the dial and like you said it could be because of the huge pictures. maybe FOIS would be better for me

Thanks for this. Given my wrist size, when I do decide to pull the trigger on a Speedy, the Reduced is where I will be looking. I already knew that but it is nice to see the comparison.

Great review! I actually love the Speedy Reduced size on my 18 cm (7 inch) wrist. The clasp feels cheap, the bracelet is adequate. The dial, sub dial positions, pushers are great. I don't think its better or worse, but rather different to the Speedy Pro. One thing that lots of reviews don't mention is the fact that the cheaper Reduced movement actually has hacking, whereas the Professional does not, which is honestly quite a let down, for a "professional chronograph". The same can be said for the bracelet micro adjustments. Its disappointing to see the Professional with only two micro adjustments.

The dubois depraz module has more parts and jewels than integrated chronograph movements like valjoux 7750 but from servicing stand point neither of the two are complex or difficult to service for an experienced and well trained watch maker. I've serviced both the moon watch and reduced through Omega and was charged the same amount ~$650 I believe.

Nice, thank you for this video. In motion (meaning, seeing the watch being moved, rotated, held in hand vs. still photos) the Reduced looks actually nicely proportional. And yeah, it looks smaller than I expected - but all the elements on it kinda really work with each other, there's nothing egregiously off.

I’ve been looking for someone to do this moonwatch v reduced comparison for a while. And who better, you nailed it. One of the biggest appeals for me for the moonwatch is that it’s an absolute strapmonster. At 18mm lug width I’d expect ‘reduced’ options with the reduced.

A great comparison between the 2 watches.

I prefer the reduced size and the fact it’s an automatic and fits me 7 1/4” inch wrist perfectly the professional wears to big in my opinion. Cheers

Thank you so much for doing this review. I don't like heavy watches and my wrist is a big round for some reason so a smaller watch fits better. The Moonwatch is to big and heavy for me. I was thinking of the reduced. Being an older watch, I saw some service costs on this model. Probably nearly the cost of the watch. About 1100 from Omega to do an overhaul. OUCH. Not sure what I am going to do. I also like 20mm or 22mm size bracelets as it makes it more comfortable.

There is a third option. I recently bought a Speedmaster FOIS 39.7mm and bought the 19mm bracelet separately (recommended by Omega) - great combo. Wish they sold it on bracelet but still works out slightly less than a 42mm.

I’m glad there’s an option for people with smaller wrists who like the aesthetic of the Pro, but there’s only one Moonwatch: The Pro with hesalite crystal and closed back. The purist in me wishes Omega would take the reintroduced 321 movement they put in the 50th anniversary edition and put it in the Pro. That would be a true Moonwatch. And reproduce the original caseback too while I’m dreaming. Omega would probably call it The Vintage Edition and charge a trillion dollars tho. :/ And it would be available in ten sizes and thirty one color options too, of course.

Nice video. I have a Reduced. 3 years and I love it. I have to say the bracelet feels really fragile and bad quality. Changed it for a nice strap and the reduced look gorgeous. Anyway Speedy look great with a leather or Nato strap. The Professional is way too big for me but I would advice anyone interested to try them both in the metal and decide which one suits you better. Thanks again for the vid.

Given your wrist size, the "Reduced" looks better on your wrist than the Moonwatch!

I'm a big guy with 7.9" wrist and planning on buying reduced piece. 😂

18mm bracelet is a bit too dainty imo, plus I have way more 20mm straps laying around

Great review Guy! A nice watch but definitely too small and not the original. I love my Speedy Professional MOTM. It will always have a place in my collection.

Thanks Guy, another amazing review. Regarding your negative experience winding your moonwatch. Have you tried winding with just your index finger at the bottom of the crown, rather than using your thumb and index finger. Just use you index finger and push the crown up to wind with pressure on the crown guards. Not sure if that makes sense.

Great review! I also didn't think it was that small. BTW, does it hack unlike the professional?

You normally like smaller watches, but I like the bigger watch on this occasion

Great review man - must say with the reduced movement and bracelet/size I'd likely pass for the original but that's me (shrug) .. again, nice job!!

Not exactly a "petite" watch, or "baby Speedmaster" as you call it...

Thanks for the detailed review. You didn’t even mention what many, including myself, to be the biggest flaw in the Reduced. This is the non-alignment of the pushers with the crown, which is a result of the modular movement. Just looks like something is terribly wrong to me.

18mm is about all that fits on my SNK809. It isn’t delicate!

The smaller size looks cool and unassuming, like I wear a great watch but don't want it standing out like a dinner plate on my arm.

never noticed the dial spacing now i cant un see it hehe. one thing i think you missed is that the seconds is reversed position on reduced on left not right

My wrist is 8 inches, so i have the pro, but if i had a slender wrist i wld get one asap!

If you love the Speedy, you should do a a review on the Rodania Goemeter. Cheers

You forgot the number of jewels comparison! 46 for the reduced!!

The minute hand is a tad short on the reduced. Perfect on the pro. Deal breaker

Pro all the way.

I enjoyed the review but I am going to get one because the 40mm and 42mm watches that I do have look good but my wrist are small I am a skin 5,8" guy so that is a perfect size for me and also if cheaper haha

What about Reduced vs Racing?

I'm just puzzled about one thing after buying a Reduced as a mistake: there are so many superb water resistant and water proof sport tool watches and yet Omega makes this series with the worst possible protection ever from the 1957-1969 type tech. Is it annoying or arrogant?

Sponsored Reviews we can accept - but the first 2:15 just on the sponsorship? And what about the difference in seconds hands?....very poor

The moonwatch ✔

The size is better than the pro

reduced suitable for thin wrists

"What's up KZfaq"? What is wrong with a normal introduction like "Hello folks, here is a video about......"?

The reduced is just another omega. Don’t pretend it’s a moon watch.

Did someone ask you to do this review? Who is your sponsor? Omg 2mins 20 seconds of repeating that. Everyone can save some time as the video starts at 2:20. I quit watching as I was tired of him repeating himself

So can anyone plz tell me if i can shower with my reduced speedmaster ?

youre review's get subjective too often...it's not even supposed to be a watch that fits your wrist well, you got a standard one for that...this one is for those with really small wrists or women

42 mm ever

Nicht für Deutschland zugelassen (Watch2Wear)🤦‍♂️

Bouncy head.

Sorry but Omega bracelets look cheap. Ruins the watch.
