Q: What is the Omega Speedmaster Reduced Ref. 3510.50? A: The Reference 3510.50, often known as the “Speedmaster Reduced”, is a Swiss-made automatic chronograph introduced in the late 1980s. It was designed as a smaller, self-winding alternative to the classic manual-wind Moonwatch, featuring a 39mm stainless steel case and the iconic black tachymeter bezel.
Q: How does this watch differ from the Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch”? A: The primary differences are the movement and size. This “Reduced” model features an automatic movement (the Moonwatch is manual-wind) and a more compact 39mm case profile compared to the Professional’s 42mm. It also features a distinctive dial layout with sub-dials spaced further apart, making it ideal for those seeking the classic Speedmaster aesthetic in a more wearable size.
Q: What movement is inside the Speedmaster Reduced? A: It is powered by the Omega Calibre 3220, a reliable modular automatic movement based on the ETA 2890-A2 with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module. It features a 40-hour power reserve and winds itself automatically with the motion of your wrist.
Q: Does this model have a sapphire or Hesalite crystal? A: This specific reference 3510.50 features a Hesalite (acrylic) crystal, true to the vintage heritage of the Speedmaster line. Hesalite offers a warm, charming character but can pick up micro-scratches, which are easily polished out by a professional.
Q: Is the watch water-resistant? A: Originally rated to 30 metres (3 ATM), water resistance on vintage watches from the early 1990s cannot be guaranteed. We strictly advise against swimming, showering or submerging this timepiece. Treat it as splash-resistant only and ensure the crown is always pushed in.
Q: How do I set the time and use the chronograph? A: To set the time, pull the crown out and rotate the hands. To wind manually, turn the crown clockwise while it is in the pushed-in position. For the chronograph: press the top pusher to start/stop the stopwatch, and the bottom pusher to reset the hands to zero (ensure the chronograph is stopped before resetting).
Q: What is included in the “Full Set”? A: This piece is a collector’s find, delivered as a complete set with the original box, certificate, booklet, card holder and 4 extra links. Please refer to the Accessories section for the full list of included items.
Q: What condition is the watch in? A: The watch is in Very Good overall condition with light traces of use consistent with its age (ca 1992). The internal condition is rated as Very Good, while the hardware is shiny but shows scratches. Please review the high-resolution images for a detailed view of its cosmetic state.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The bracelet is currently sized to fit a wrist of approximately 19.5 cm or smaller. With the 4 additional links included, the bracelet can be extended to fit larger wrists comfortably.
Q: Is it authentic and what warranty is provided? A: A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. This watch comes with a 12-month movement warranty. We offer free, fully insured DHL shipping and a 14-day return policy for your peace of mind.
