omega speedmaster racing master chronometer prix

It’s a much loved design, and I had precisely zero issues with it while it was on my wrist. Unsurprisingly, the Speedmaster Racing comes on a standard Speedmaster bracelet, brushed with those little flashes of polish. Antimagnetic, 4Hz, strong power reserve, accurate. These movements, including this Calibre 9900, really are among the best, most advanced high-volume movements in the business right now, and one of Omega’s greatest assets. Much has been said (some of it by us) about how impressive Omega’s METAS-certified Master Chronometer movements are.

Orange is one of those colours best used in moderation, which is exactly what Omega have exercised here. The staggered minute ring that gives the Speedmaster Racing its name has short black hash marks and longer orange ones, creating a slightly subtler and (to my mind) more interesting version than the black dial. No, what really sets this dial apart is all that orange, as well as the crisp contrast provided by the luminous hands and hour markers. And not just because the grey is so mutable in the light. The black we showed you earlier is an undeniable classic, and there’s a white version, but this sunburst grey number is the real winner in my books. Speaking of elegance, this dial variation is by far the dandiest. The case is mostly brushed, with the exception of that sinuous polished line that stretches from lug-tip to lug-tip, adding an air of elegance to an otherwise utilitarian case. It looks and feels much like every other Speedmaster, except for its contemporary dimensions: it clocks in larger than your regular Speedy, at a not insubstantial 44.25mm wide, but it wears well, and sits comfortably on the wrist, thanks to a very reasonable sub-15mm height. It’s a Speedmaster, so no real surprises with the case.

And while this Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer we first looked at in 2017 isn’t particularly limited or hype-y, it’s still a super hot version of THE chronograph … I/trending 21256 Dialled in for speed – the Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer Time+TideĮditor’s note: For some reason we can’t quite place (one small step might have something to do with it though), we’ve got the Speedmaster on our mind.
