Any speedmasters smaller than 40mm

Does anyone know if Omega made any Speedmasters under 40mm in size?

That's surprising.... Usually, hand-wound movements are smaller...

3510 is under 40mm. I had one for 12 years, sold it so I can get the moonwatch in the near future.

it is actually 39.7mm. Although the size of the case is skinnier width-wise the lugs protrude on top and bottom as much as the regular moonwatch.

I just snapped up a speedmaster professional automatic on the bay.
Didn't measure the case, but it was quite small. Will post it for sale soon.

I have a Speedmaster 3510 (a.k.a. "Reduced") and it's a great watch.

3510 reduced great watch, I have one I bought here from a trusted seller. I don't wear it that much it feels a little small after wearing my GMT or Speedy Moon.

But it still wears smaller than the 42mm Speedy Pro.

The bezel and dial diameter is exactly the same size as the current speedy.
Seems like the difference is that the case of the FOIS is symmetrical and lacks the 'crown guard' of the 3750.50

that's what I figured. I was essentially looking for a speedmaster professional, non-automatic, in something less than 40mm... looks like the FOIS is the closest one

That would be a wonderful choice
I have found this article quite informative:
