Omega Speedmaster Japan Racing Limited Edition, 2005

In 1957, the Omega Speedmaster was originally introduced for use on the race track, not for space exploration, despite later being approved for NASA missions. Omega occasionally revisits the watch's racing roots, releasing models specifically designed for high-speed events. Released in 2004 as a limited edition of 2,004 units, the 3570.40.00 Japanese racing dial quickly gained international recognition. The distinctive design features of this Japan-exclusive timepiece, including the orange secondhand, sub-dial hand, and hour markers inspired by the Mark II Speedmaster, perfectly complement the red and white racing track on the dial, making this Speedmaster a standout among its peers. The dial of the watch features a racing track with 5 ticks between minute markers, allowing for precise timing with the renowned 861 chronograph movement. Notably, the Omega logo on this limited edition watch is a rare orange color, deviating from the traditional silver or blue.

Featuring a unique color scheme and limited production, the Speedmaster Japan Racing edition has quickly gained popularity in the secondary market, making it a highly coveted timepiece for collectors.
