Sorry to be unclear.

Early Speedy bracelets have hollow centers. Later models are 5 pieces per link and the shiny little plates on either side of the center link are solid, but act as caps.

There are a number of different bracelets depending on the year and model you finally decide on.

Just curious, Is there any years that we’re all solid?

What is considered as “warmth” of the hesalite is just distortion for me. It has a quirky vintage vibe that a lot would like, but I preferred the clarity of the sapphire.

The “milky ring” doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I like it as it is quite unique; you don’t see watches with this milky ring.

We may compare specs and numbers. But in the end, buying a watch is an emotional decision. Your money, your watch; get the one you want.

Sapphire sandwich for clarity, toughness of the crystal, and view case back.

BTW, love the Bluesy, too! (maybe someday!)

Good luck in your quest - Ben.

I WAY prefer the hesalite, but mine has sapphire. When it came down to it, the slightly smaller size of the First Omega in Space made a bigger difference on my wrist.

Now an FOIS with hesalite, that'd be the perfect watch.

Speedmaster Proffessional Moon Watch Vs Speedmaster Reduced

Hi all,

I'm new to the luxury watch world and looking to buy my first Omega. I wanted to know what are the main differences btw a Speedmaster Moonwatch and a Speedmaster Reduced?

Thanks!

I believe the biggest difference is the reduced model uses an automatic movement where as the professional uses a manual movement.
