Omega Speedmaster - Racing Dial
From The Racetrack To The Wrist
While the Speedmaster is famous for its trip to the moon, its origins are firmly planted on the racetrack. This limited edition from 2000 brings the model back to its motorsport roots, celebrating Michael Schumacher's Formula 1 World Championship victory. Limited to only 6000 pieces, the reference 3518.5 is a tribute to the fusion of high-performance engineering and split-second timing. It represents a specific moment in history when two icons, Omega and Schumacher, were at the peak of their respective fields.
A Dial Built For The Podium
The most distinct feature of this edition is its unique racing dial. The vibrant red outer track and orange hour markers create a high-contrast, instantly legible display that stands apart from the traditional monochrome Speedmaster. Housed in a versatile case, the watch offers a more compact and comfortable wearing experience than the larger Professional models. It is a purpose-built design that captures the energy of motorsport without sacrificing the classic Speedmaster chronograph layout.
Untouched And Well Preserved
This example is in great cosmetic and untouched condition. The dial and case are well-preserved, with a matching patina developing on both the hands and hour markers that speaks to its originality. It is fitted on its original Omega stamped bracelet. All parts, including the signed crown and caseback, are original to the watch. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Piece Of Motorsport History
This watch is for the collector who appreciates the Speedmaster's racing heritage as much as its spacefaring legacy. It is not trying to be a Moonwatch; it is a wearable piece of Formula 1 history. The combination of a limited production run, a direct link to a sporting legend, and a unique dial design makes it a standout piece in any collection. It's a confident choice for someone who wants an Omega with a story that starts on the grid.

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….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
