“An automatic chronograph: the feeling of living time, wound by the wrist."

There are two distinct pleasures in a Speedmaster automatic like this one. The first is immediate: you put it on, and you feel it was designed for real life. 39 mm, a perfectly judged presence — neither “small” nor overwhelming — a watch that can become your one-watch week companion or your weekend signature piece. The second pleasure is more intimate: a mechanism that comes back to life thanks to you. You walk, you drive, you live — and the watch winds itself, quietly, through the everyday choreography.And then there is the particular charm of late-1990s and early-2000s Speedmasters: the design remains faithful to the sporty DNA, yet becomes smoother, more civil, almost “dress-ready” through finishing quality. The result is a chronograph that honours its timing roots without locking you into a purely technical look.

To understand the appeal of this réf. 1750.083, you have to look back to another story: the Speedmaster automatic ST 376.0822, nicknamed the “Holy Grail”, fitted with calibre Omega 1045 (derived from the Lemania 5100) and produced for a short window, often given around 1987–1988.  That watch cemented the idea that a “non-Moonwatch” Speedmaster — automatic and more compact — could become pure collector desire.,A few years later, Omega evolved the concept toward a more wearable, easier-to-live generation: the Speedmaster automatics around 39 mm, in the spirit lineage of the “Reduced”, with a robust, modern mechanical architecture. The réf. 175.0083 (often written 1750.083 depending on cataloguing habits) is one of the most convincing expressions of that idea. 

The steel case measures 39.0 mm and is fitted with a sapphire crystal. The watch offers chronograph and date functions, with a tachymètre scale connected to the Speedmaster world.  The Black dial satin organises the reading around three sub-dials, in a classic layout that is immediately legible and perfectly balanced for daily wear. Power comes from calibre Omega 1152, an automatic chronograph based on ETA/Valjoux 7750, valued for reliability, robustness, and ease of servicing — a real advantage for a collectible watch you want to wear often. It is listed with 25 rubis, a 28 800 alternances/heure beat rate, and roughly 46 heures of power reserve after a full wind.  It is, in every sense, a “modern movement”: strong performance, supported by today’s watchmaking tools, and serviceable without rarity headaches.The original steel bracelet adjusts via link removal or addition. And this Speedmaster stands out for its user-focused clasp: a practical folding clasp with an integrated extender, useful when the wrist changes (heat, activity) or when you want to wear the watch over a sleeve, without complicated handling.

This chronograph never denies its sporty roots: Speedmaster DNA was born from timing, measuring, pace. Yet in this 39 mm execution, the balance turns very “city”: it slips under a cuff, works with dressier outfits without trying too hard, and keeps that mechanical soul that makes the difference at night — because it does not aim to shine, it aims to be right. And that is where the size truly matters: 39 mm is now an obvious unisex standard. On a slim wrist, it carries character without domination. On a stronger wrist, it stays elegant and dynamic. It’s a collector Speedmaster that does not assign you a role: it adapts.
