Basel 2017 - Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer Thu, 23 March 2017 10:57



In the new Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer, the dial features the distinctive minute-track style that first appeared on a 1968 Speedmaster model.



The first model of this new collection is done in stainless steel with a matte black dial, a polished ceramic bezel with a brushed Liquidmetal tachymeter scale, and distinctive orange wording that matches the color of the varnished hands and tip of the seconds hand.



The second model has been crafted from 18kt Sedna gold. The color blue is used for the dial, the leather strap, and the ceramic bezel with its Ceragold tachymeter scale.



Both models feature an "alternating" minute-track in a racing style which gives the models their name. This feature links back to early Speedmaster designs from 1968 that provided better readability for the wearer.



Tthe 44.2mm case of the new Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer is thinner than previous versions thanks to the work done on the sapphire crystal in particular. Other notable features include bevelled arrowhead indexes filled with SuperLumiNova and subdials that have been slightly expanded for improved readability.



On the stainless steel model, there is a black leather strap that contains a section of orange rubber through the middle. A milling tool has then been used to create micro perforations through the constructed strap that reveal the orange rubber inside. This perforated design provides the perfect sporty look and also has the benefit of aerating the wearer's skin.

These models represent the next Speedmasters with Master Chronometer certification. Driven by the caliber 9900/9901, the watch and its movement have reached the Swiss industry's highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic resistance, as approved by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). The watches come with Omega's full 4-year warranty.

MSRP is 7,800 to 22,750 Swiss Francs.

Thanks.
