Lot Essay
OMEGA introduced this limited edition "AC Milan" Speedmaster Automatic in 1999 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the AC Milan soccer team. This model features a non-conventional dial showing minute display on the dial and it says, "1899 - 1999" in red text above the hour register at 6 o'clock.
Automatic Speedmaster models are also known as the Speedmaster "Reduced" because of the smaller 39mm case size instead of the 42mm on the Speedmaster professional models.
According to the Archives of OMEGA the present watch was manufactured on November 3, 1999 and delivered to Italy.
