c.2001 Omega Speedmaster Michael Schumacher Limited Edition 3517.30.00 – Silver Checkered Dial, Unpolished, 2-Year Warranty

Info

The Omega Speedmaster Michael Schumacher Limited Edition ref. 3517.30.00 is one of the most successful and captivating tributes to the legendary Formula 1 champion. Released in 2000 to celebrate Michael Schumacher’s World Championship victory with Ferrari, it was produced in a limited run of 4,000 pieces featuring a silver checkered dial – the most sought-after and appreciated version among collectors. At the same time, Omega introduced another 4,000 pieces with a black dial (ref. 3518.50.00), for a total of 8,000 watches dedicated to this historic triumph.

The 39 mm stainless steel case, typical of the Speedmaster Reduced, houses a silver checkered dial immediately recognizable for its racing-inspired design, directly evoking the checkered flag of motor sport. Red and orange accents, applied to the indexes, minute track and sub-dials, bring energy and dynamism, making this edition stand out as one of the most distinctive and vibrant in the series. The result is a dial that conveys speed and passion, while maintaining the flawless legibility characteristic of the Speedmaster.

Inside beats the automatic Omega caliber 3220, based on the ETA 2892-A2 architecture with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module, a movement combining reliability and precision while preserving the reduced proportions compared to the Speedmaster Professional. The steel caseback bears the special Michael Schumacher engraving and the individual number of the limited series, confirming its exclusivity and collectible value.

Striking a perfect balance between sportiness and refined aesthetics, the Speedmaster 3517.30.00 is one of the most iconic interpretations among the Schumacher editions, blending the legendary DNA of the Speedmaster line with the thrill of Formula 1 racing. Collectors value it not only for its limited production, but above all for the expressive power of its checkered dial and its strong connection to one of the most celebrated drivers in history.

Case, Bracelet, Dial & Glass

The stainless steel case of the Omega Speedmaster Michael Schumacher Limited Edition ref. 3517.30.00 is unpolished and remains in excellent overall condition. Light micro-marks from normal use are present, imperceptible to the touch and barely noticeable once worn. A few more evident marks can be found on the lower right lug at 5 o’clock, highlighted in the high-definition photos provided: these are visible only under certain lighting conditions and do not compromise the overall appearance of the watch on the wrist. The stainless steel bezel with tachymeter scale is also in excellent condition, showing minimal wear not immediately visible to the naked eye.

The Omega bracelet, composed of 23 links and suitable for wrists up to approximately 20 cm, is also unpolished and shows normal wear in the form of fine hairlines, only detectable under magnification. When worn, it appears uniform and free from any significant signs of use. The clasp exhibits light traces of wear, though they are barely visible to the naked eye.

The silver checkered dial with red and orange accents, the defining element of this limited edition, is in flawless condition. The three registers, central hands, and applied indexes are intact and ensure the excellent legibility that defines the Speedmaster.

The Hesalite crystal is in excellent condition, free from scratches or visible imperfections, preserving the pure aesthetics that are part of the Speedmaster tradition.
