2001 Omega Speedmaster Racing Michael Schumacher LE 3517.30.00 Automatic 39mm – Omega Serviced

Info

The Omega Speedmaster Racing Michael Schumacher Limited Edition, reference 3517.30.00, is one of those timepieces that perfectly blends sportiness, elegance, and tribute. Produced in just 4,000 pieces to commemorate Michael Schumacher’s historic victory in the 2000 Formula 1 World Championship, it remains highly admired among collectors—not only for its symbolic value but also for its distinctive aesthetic and refined vintage-modern appeal.

What immediately stands out is the dial, the true focal point of this model. Its silver checkered background unmistakably evokes the racing flag, a symbol of speed, triumph, and competition. Yet this isn’t merely a decorative touch—the dial’s play of light gives it a vibrant, ever-changing character. It invites the eye to linger and explore it from every angle, revealing new impressions with every glance. The applied indices and luminous hands enhance legibility while preserving the overall purity of the design.

The 39 mm stainless steel case is well-proportioned and comfortable on the wrist, striking a perfect balance between sporty presence and everyday wearability. Inside ticks the Omega caliber 3220, an automatic chronograph movement based on an ETA base, reliable and well-finished, offering a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. The Hesalite crystal—true to Speedmaster tradition—adds a vintage charm, while the engraved case back, featuring Schumacher’s signature and the inscription “World Champion 2000,” seals the model’s commemorative identity.

Years after its release, this reference still holds a strong appeal. It’s not just a watch for Formula 1 fans—it’s a collectible piece for those who value a thoughtfully crafted limited edition with a truly unique design. The checkered pattern and well-balanced layout make this dial one of the most iconic elements ever featured in the Speedmaster Racing line.

Wearing it means carrying a legacy of victory, passion, and unmistakable style. It’s a tribute to one of the greatest champions in history and a perfect example of how Omega has translated the spirit of motorsport into fine watchmaking.
