Most Collectible Omega Speedmaster Reduced Models?

Hi all. Been getting into my Omegas as of late and would like to see what you guys would recommend as the most collectible Speedmaster Reduced models to consider? After options that are on the rare side that won't be seen too often in the wild, but has to look the part too

Thanks in advance

I have a Speedy Reduced and have never seen another in the wild, as let’s be honest, it isn’t the one that most people want. It’s a rarity for the wrong reasons! So i wouldn’t worry about which is the most rare.

Mine is probably the most common basic black dial, but I’ve never looked at production volumes so can’t be sure, it’s just an assumption.

The white dial is likely more rare and arguably better looking.

No idea as to what’s considered “collectible”. Mine is a 89/90 model with the flat back and no hippocampus logo, the numbers under the minute marker, and the equivalent of the now desirable bracelet from the Speedy Pro form that period.
It was my first real watch and my daily for many years. It also happens to be my most accurate watch. It runs pretty much spot on for months.
Not too much interest in it one way or another though prices seem to have gone up quite a bit.
The Schuhmacher series was certainly cool and different. You may find more of the Reduced in the Asian markets. I met maybe three people over the last thirty years who had one - one of them from Japan.
