![]() Long sold out, but you might be able to source one via one of the sales forums, auctions or Chrono24 for example. In 2004, the Speedmaster Professional Racing was released again (2004 pieces) for the Japan market. Remember the Speedmaster Reduced models that were linked to Schumacher and Andretti? Or the later Schumacher limited editions for his GP wins? We talked about the Schumacher edition that was done especially for the Ferrari team not too long ago. Over the years, racing has always been connected to Speedmasters. The Speedmaster Mark II was also available with racing dial (and the updated Mark II of 2014 also is available with racing dial). That watch was advertised with cars and racing drivers. The connection between Speedmasters and racing has been there since the very first CK2915. A sought-after configuration that we discussed in-depth in this article. The Speedmaster Racing goes back to 1968, when Omega released their first Speedmaster with racing dial. A welcome update, as some people found these models a bit too thick. Last year, they did the same with the Speedmaster Moonphase Master Chronometer.īoth Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer models undergone a couple of small adjustments, so that the case of these Speedmaster watches are a bit thinner than the regular Speedmaster with caliber 9300 movement. I remember, as it was right before the SIHH in Geneva when Omega stole a bit of the show (again). The Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer with caliber 9900 movement (based on the in-house caliber 9300 movement) was introduced earlier this year, on January 13th to be precise. It will keep the specific rose gold color. Sedna gold is an interesting material, as it – as opposed to normal rose gold – will not turn into yellow gold over time. Sedna is Omega’s own alloy for rose gold and it has been used for almost all their collections if I am not mistaken. ![]() Not too long ago, I was in London and tried the new Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer in 18kt Sedna gold. Owning a couple of gold watches myself, including the Speedmaster Professional ‘Stafford’, I’ve come to appreciate the material more and more. In the last few days, I’ve been posting a couple of gold watches on my private Instagram account Not to test or try something, but because I’ve noticed I’ve grown into this precious material.
