2004 Omega Speedmaster Professional Racing Dial Ref. 3570.40.00 – Japan Limited Edition, Box and Papers + Omega Serviced

Info

When talking about the Speedmaster, the mind inevitably goes to the Moonwatch and its black dial that made history. Yet, in 2004 Omega decided to offer the Japanese market something completely different, a limited edition that blends the tradition of the collection with a bold and modern twist: reference 3570.40.00, known as the “Japan Racing Dial.”

The true star of this version is the dial, a palette of colors and details that breaks away from the classic scheme. The matte grey base gives the timepiece a refined and unconventional character, while the “racing track” minute scale recalls vintage car dashboards, with graphics designed to enhance readability. Making the dial even more captivating are the orange accents on the chronograph hands and the Omega logo at 12 o’clock, perfectly balanced by the red details on the outer track, creating a striking contrast that immediately draws the eye.

The recessed sub-dials add depth and dynamism, reinforcing the sense of a technical instrument designed not only to measure time but also to tell it in a different way, sporty and experimental. There are no inscriptions declaring its limited production, no outward sign of exclusivity: the charm of this model lies precisely in being unique without the need to proclaim it, a secret shared only by true connoisseurs.

Limited to 2,004 pieces, this Speedmaster Japan Limited follows in the footsteps of the historic “racing” variants of the 1960s and 1970s, reinterpreting them with modern taste and rare aesthetic precision. It is a watch that speaks to enthusiasts not only as a timekeeping instrument but also as a collectible object that embodies discretion and originality.

Case, Bracelet, Dial & Glass

The case is in excellent condition, with surfaces that have regained their brightness thanks to a professional polish carried out during the latest Omega service. The tachymeter bezel shows only light signs of age, barely noticeable and in no way compromising the overall aesthetics or wearability of the watch.

The Omega bracelet, composed of 17 links and fitting wrists up to approximately 20 cm, maintains its full structural integrity and has been carefully polished to restore its shine. The clasp is solid and functional, a testament to the brand’s high-quality craftsmanship.

The grey “Japan Racing” dial, the aesthetic heart of this reference, is in perfect condition. The grey tones harmonize beautifully with the orange and red accents of the hands and minute track, delivering a vibrant and unmistakable contrast. The indexes and hands are sharp and perfectly legible, preserving that visual strength which makes this model stand out within the Speedmaster universe.

The hesalite crystal, replaced during the service, is brand new and flawless, ready to highlight every detail of the dial with its clarity, free from scratches or distortions, in full respect of Moonwatch tradition.

Accessories & Warranty

The watch comes with its elegant original Omega wooden box, the outer cardboard box, the original warranty card, and the cardholder. In addition, the components replaced during the service are also included, as shown in the final photo of the listing—an appreciated detail for the most meticulous collectors.

Originally sold by an official Omega dealer in November 2004, the timepiece has recently undergone a complete overhaul at an authorized Omega service center. During the intervention, the water-resistance kit, hesalite crystal, chronograph hands, and seconds hand were replaced, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with the Maison’s rigorous standards.

The service is backed by an official Omega 2-year warranty covering the movement against any mechanical defects not caused by negligence or accidental damage. On top of this, the watch comes with our certificate of authenticity and lawful provenance, offering further reassurance and transparency. This allows you to purchase with complete peace of mind, confident in receiving a timepiece that is flawless in every respect and supported by attentive, professional after-sales service.
