Details
Racing Pedigree, Faded To Perfection
While the Speedmaster is famous for its lunar connection, its origins are firmly planted on the race track. This limited edition from 2000 celebrates Michael Schumacher's World Championship victory, bringing the model back to its original purpose. The black dial with its bold red accents is an unapologetic tribute to motorsport. As one of just 6,000 pieces made, it represents a specific and highly successful chapter in Omega's long history of timing the world's best drivers.
An Extraordinary Ghost Bezel
What truly sets this particular watch apart is its stainless steel tachymeter bezel. It has developed an extraordinarily faded, even patina that gives it a "ghost" appearance. This is not something that can be replicated, and it's a feature rarely seen on this reference. The soft, uniform tone of the bezel provides a striking contrast to the sharp red and black of the dial, lending the watch a unique visual character that separates it from the other examples in this limited run.
A Well-Preserved Example
This example is in very good condition. The stainless steel case is strong, and the dial with its red racing accents is clean and vibrant. The defining characteristic is the beautifully aged bezel. The stainless steel bracelet is well-preserved and ready for daily wear. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
More Than A Tribute
This watch works for more than just the Formula 1 enthusiast. The case is a versatile size that wears comfortably, and the automatic chronograph movement is robust and practical. The unique ghost bezel provides a layer of vintage aesthetic that is uncommon on a watch from this era. It is a limited edition with a distinct identity, making it a strong choice for the collector who wants a Speedmaster with a different kind of story.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
