Omega Speedmaster "Japan Racing" from 1968

€72.000 EUR

This Omega Speedmaster from the late 1960s features the extremely rare Racing dial, in its version powered by the caliber 861. Today, it is one of the most sought-after Speedmasters among collectors.

The Racing dial is an uncommon dial, produced in very small quantities in the late 1960s. It is distinguished by its colors and design, which differ from classic Speedmasters. This dial can be found on a previous generation with the caliber 321, as well as on some Speedmaster Mark II models, but the Mark I version with the caliber 861 is by far the rarest.

It is estimated that fewer than one hundred examples of this configuration exist, making it a particularly difficult watch to find. For this reason, it is often compared to the “Paul Newman” of Speedmasters, in reference to the exotic Rolex dials of the same era.

This Speedmaster is one of the most important models in Omega's history. Its racing dial gives it a truly distinctive personality, different from traditional Speedmasters, while still retaining the model's DNA. It's a watch for someone seeking a legendary timepiece, whether as a Speedmaster collector or simply a collector of iconic and effortlessly wearable watches.

 

 

Cette Omega Speedmaster de la fin des années 1960 est dotée du rarissime cadran Racing, dans sa version animée par le calibre 861. Aujourd'hui, c'est l'une des Speedmaster les plus recherchées par les collectionneurs.

Le cadran Racing est un cadran peu commun, produit en très petite quantité à la fin des années 1960. Il se distingue par ses couleurs et son design, différents de ceux des Speedmaster classiques. On le retrouve sur une génération précédente équipée du calibre 321, ainsi que sur certains modèles Speedmaster Mark II, mais la version Mark I avec le calibre 861 est de loin la plus rare.

On estime qu'il existe moins d'une centaine d'exemplaires de cette configuration, ce qui en fait une montre particulièrement difficile à trouver. C'est pourquoi on la compare souvent à la « Paul Newman » des Speedmaster, en référence aux cadrans Rolex d'exception de la même époque.

Cette Speedmaster est l'un des modèles les plus importants de l'histoire d'Omega. Son cadran racing lui confère une personnalité unique, différente des Speedmaster traditionnelles, tout en conservant l'ADN du modèle. C'est une montre pour qui recherche un garde-temps légendaire, qu'il s'agisse d'un collectionneur de Speedmaster ou simplement d'un amateur de montres iconiques et faciles à porter.
