OmegaSpeedmaster

Offered by a private collector, this Omega Speedmaster Michael Schumacher ref. 3810.12.40 is accompanied by its tyre-shaped presentation case, outer box and a receipt for a movement service dated October 2018. The watch shows some light signs of wear and its condition is within the bounds of the sellers ‘A’ grading.  

This eye-catching Speedmaster was launched in the late 1990s with Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher. While the series consisted of three dial and strap variations across all three primary colours, perhaps the most fun and charming was the yellow version - as we see here.

The lively yellow tone jumps off the wrist as the watch’s standout feature, with a staggered checkered flag pattern around the perimeter adding additional visual appeal. The red and black hands are finished in a varnished lacquer and offer contrast for easy reading.

The stainless-steel case has a distinctive asymmetrical shape and lyre style lugs synonymous with the Speedmaster model line. With a diameter of 39mm, it's the perfect size for almost any wrist. The bezel features a tachymeter scale inlay as a nod to the Speedmaster’s motorsport heritage. Moving inside the case, the watch is powered by the Omega calibre 1141, which is based on the robust and reliable ETA 2890, with a modular vertical clutch chronograph. The watch is fitted with a factory yellow strap that’s double bolstered and nicely complements the dial.
