The latest Speedmaster Professional has a cal.1861 handwound movement. Its predecessor, the cal.861 had one jewel less and was not as nicely finished as the cal.1861. Before the cal.861, they used the cal.321 (from 1957 till 1968) and that one was even nicer. ;-) With a columnwheel instead of a shuttle/cam system. The cal.861 and cal.1861 are running on 21600 beats p hour and the cal.321 did 18000 beats p hour. The watch is ofcourse, still being made. The watch is about 1700 USD (Omega price).
On my site there is some more info, www.omega-addict.com (can also be found in the links section of this site).
