There's a 40mm version of the speedmaster racing - discontinued a few years ago but you can still get nearly new versions and has the 3-6-9 subdials and a date and a better bracelet (and a nice integrated rubber strap). Quite a few colours too inc a (reverse?) panda.

Omega do currently offer a 38mm automatic Speedmaster with applied indices in a range of colours (not just "pink it and shrink it" variants).

I like that, I had one for a while and enjoyed it.
My favourite automatic speedmaster.

I like the yelllowed lume but unfortunately they tend to develop mold on the lume that's on the hands. You can often see dark spots.
I've found a NOS one not too far away from where I am but as it's NOS, it's more expensive than the usual offering.
I've tried the "regular" Speedmasters but found them quite disappointing in real life as the dial is really "flat" and not to my liking. And I would like a date indication as well as that's the only thing I'm currently missing on my Seamaster.
I really like the latest Speedmaster '57 version with the green dial but that's a different price point all together and also a manual movement which doesn't have my preference per se.
