Omega Speedmaster Automatic | HODINKEE Spec Sheet | What You Need To Know

Welcome to HODINKEE's new video series, The Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next-best thing to having the watch in your own hands. In 1988, Omega introduced the Speedmaster Automatic as a practical, everyday alternative to the classic Moonwatch. At 39mm, it was a few millimeters smaller than the Moonwatch, making it more wearable for more wrists. It owes its Automatic name to the Omega caliber 3220 ticking inside, an ETA-based automatic caliber fitted with a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module. The automatic winding was meant to appeal to those who wanted a watch they could "set and forget."
