The Speedmaster Reduced Triple Date is highly complicated and visually dense within the Speedmaster lineup, it features a smaller 39mm case and a sunburst white dial that integrates day and month apertures at 12, a pointer date hand circling the dial, and a 24-hour indicator within the small seconds subdial at nine o’clock. Its generous amount of complications is due to the Calibre 1151, which is based on the robust ETA/Valjoux 7751 ébauche, providing chronograph and comprehensive calendar functions.
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the company that would become Omega established its identity with the 1894 introduction of the 19-ligne 'Omega' calibre. This movement was a landmark in industrial watchmaking, utilizing interchangeable components to streamline production and repair—a philosophy of accessible precision that continues to define the brand.
Omega cemented its reputation for robust accuracy through its role as the Official Timekeeper for the Olympic Games since 1932 and, most famously, through the Speedmaster Professional's flight qualification by NASA, which culminated in its journey to the Moon.
In the modern era, the brand's most significant contribution has been the industrialization of the co-axial escapement, an invention by Dr. George Daniels that fundamentally reduces friction within the calibre for superior long-term chronometric stability. Typified by purpose-driven design, Omega's collections—from the abyssal-depth Seamaster to the iconic Speedmaster—are archetypes of the professional tool watch, balancing legible aesthetics with advanced material science and anti-magnetic properties through its Master Chronometer certification.
