The Omega Speedmaster is a legendary timepiece that has achieved iconic status in the world of horology. Originally introduced in 1957 as a racing chronograph, the model gained worldwide fame as the watch that accompanied NASA astronauts on all six lunar missions. In 1969, it became the first watch to be worn on the moon, cementing its place in history. Durability, accuracy, and reliability under extreme conditions has made it a favorite of pilots, astronauts, and adventurers alike. Over the years, Omega has continued to refine and improve the design of the Speedmaster, while staying true to its classic look and feel. Today, it remains one of the most popular and revered watches for collectors.

This particular racing Speedmaster is a limited edition of 6000 pieces for race car driving legend Michael Schumacher. The case shows that it was one of the last 200 made in the run and houses an automatic movement which is a convenient departure from the vast majority manual wind versions of the model. The checkered "racing dial" harks back to earlier iterations of Speedmasters and provides a fantastic splash of color to this sporty tool watch. We could not be more thrilled to offer this full set example which has remaining in stunning "new old stock" condition with only the lightest signs of handling. For any driving enthusiast, this neo-vintage gem would make for the perfect wrist companion for touring adventures.
