the speedmaster racing master chronometer 2017 price

With a 60-hour power reserve, the in-house 9900 automatic movement operates at 4 Hz, while the watch’s title of Master Chronometer guarantees that this Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic is accurate to between 0 and +5 seconds per day. Though Omega has not revealed this model’s caseback at this time, we speculate that it will likely offer an open view of this unparalleled movement. Labeled a Master Chronometer, this modern Speedmaster is powered by Omega’s revolutionary Master Co-Axial self-winding Caliber 9900, which is recognized by the Swiss Federal Institute of Meteorology (METAS) and was initially revealed during Baselworld 2016 in the Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph - the first Omega chronograph movement to have this certification.

As with former chronograph timepieces by Omega, they have once again clearly implemented a color-coding system with this watch, where the orange hands indicate time and the white hands are exclusively chronograph related. Even the Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic’s leather racing strap includes a perforated style that exposes an underlying orange rubber, thus completing the motorsport-inspired look.Īdditionally, the Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic Master Chronometer includes white finishing touches, such as the generous Super-LumiNova on the watch hands - which we can be certain will offer a strong lume - and the brushed Liquidmetal tachymeter markers, which have been injected into the ceramic bezel for durability and a cleaner appearance. Omega has continued the vivid orange theme throughout this two-register chronograph, with the polished ceramic bezel with brushed Liquidmetal “tachymètre” wording in the color, as well as the Speedmaster logo on the dial, some of the watch’s varnished hands, and the bright points on the outer edge of the watch’s beveled 18k white gold arrowhead indexes. Yet, despite its dial size, the watch actually offers a thinner profile than previous models as Omega has refined its sapphire crystal.

Though it may hold a vintage style, this timepiece contains Omega’s cutting-edge Moonwatch technology and, at 44.25 mm in diameter, it also sits markedly more prominent on the wrist. Indeed, as a racecar-inspired Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic, this timepiece celebrates and combines two notable events from back in the day - automobile racing and moon landings.

At Gray & Sons we are big fans Omega watches and carry a wide range of pre-owned Seamaster watches, used Speedmaster chronographs, secondhand Constellation dress timepieces, and other previously owned Omega wristwatches.

Six decades after the very first Speedmaster was unveiled in 1957, it remains as a top choice among Omega’s selection of sports watches. The Speedmaster is of course the flagship model from Omega, having shot to fame as the watch to accompany man’s first lunar landing.
