Just an FYI, an automatic movement is still a mechanical watch. Perhaps what you were thinking of is automatic vs. manual (ie, you have to wind it)?
You can get the Speedmaster in both. The classic Speedmaster (ie, "Moon watch") is manual, but you can also get the Co-Axial version that is automatic. Personally, I have the manual because I think it's a nice ritual to have to do every day...and because the CoAxial is a little too big for my tastes (I just prefer the proportions of the moon watch).
But either way, it's an awesome watch. Absolutely timeless.
