Caught red-handed


A little change from all the Rolex stuff: Omega Speedmaster Automatic, so-called Schumacher edition. This watch was available with either a red, yellow or blue dial, all fitted with matching straps. Although admittably we're not the biggest fans of the Speedmaster Automatic, this is a cool and unusual watch at an affordable price. Packaging is great too which is a nice touch for a special edition piece.

This watch was available new from 1996 till 1999. It ( & the red version) was unvieled [sic] on 22 July 1996 by Michael Schumacher at his go-kart track in Kerpen, Germany. It was NOT a limited edition & is not marked so. Any auctions you may have seen claiming this are wrong. It is basically a Speedmaster Automatic ( reduced ). The dial, hands, strap & packaging are all different from the standard reduced.

We'll be posting some other non-Rolex watches in a few hours. Stay tuned.
