Catalogue Essay
Exclusively made for the Japanese market, the Omega Speedmaster ref. 3570.40.00 was launched in 2004 as a limited edition of 2004 pieces with a distinctive racing dial. At first glance, the present reference resembles its preceding examples from the late 1960s. With a pop of colour, this refreshing modern twist creates a sublime contrast to the originally grey-toned dial, forming its frame with crisp white, neon orange and crimson red accents that appeal to contemporary demand.
Nicknamed the “Racing” dial, the minute track mirrors the checkered finishing lines often seen in circuits of motorsports competitions. With a well-balanced display of colours flanked together, it is no wonder the Omega Speedmaster “Racing” is so highly coveted, with the “Racing” Japan edition being perhaps the most attractive among its kind.
Offered in excellent overall condition, the present example Omega Speedmaster Japan Racing from 2004, presented with an Extract from the Archives confirming its manufacture date and origins.

Omega
Swiss | 1848Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
