Originally crafted for the racetrack, the Speedmaster<\/a>, Omega’s renowned space watch, also boasts a significant motor racing legacy. Tailored for use by scientists, engineers, athletes, and race car drivers alike, it was groundbreaking as the first watch to feature a tachymeter scale outside the dial, positioned on the bezel.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the Speedmaster has evolved, with design elements and technological advancements that continue the enduring legacy of Omega in the world of racing timepieces.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Omega unveiled a notable addition to its elite lineup of racing watches: the Omega Speedmaster Super Racing. This piece is both a homage to their Aqua Terra \u201cBumblebee\u201d watch and an introduction to Omega’s new Spirate™ System. Visually striking and rich in horological significance, the Super Racing stands as a collectible milestone in Omega’s watchmaking history.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

About the Omega Speedmaster Super Racing\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Introduced in 2023, the Omega Speedmaster Super Racing represents a significant advancement in the Speedmaster collection, pushing the limits of accuracy and precision.<\/p>\n

Featuring the patent-pending Spirate™ System, this timepiece is also a visual homage to the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra >15,000 Gauss (nicknamed the Bumblebee) from 2013, the first watch to achieve the said level of magnetic resistance.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The first watch to use Omega’s Spirate™ System<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Omega Speedmaster Super Racing features the Spirate™ System that marks a groundbreaking advancement in watchmaking. This system is engineered to significantly enhance the precision and stability of mechanical watches.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the Spirate™ System is an advanced silicon hairspring attached to a flexible blade. This blade extends into a long “tail” that connects to the balance bridge. The attachment point can be finely adjusted using a snail cam, allowing for ultra-precise rate adjustments. This unique mechanism not only increases the accuracy of the watch but also enables a broader range of regulation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

According to Omega, this achieves an incredible precision of 0\/+2 seconds per day on average \u2014 an improvement on their already remarkable 0\/+5 seconds per day standard, certified by METAS.<\/p>\n

The Omega Speedmaster Super Racing is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9920, benefiting from the enhanced precision offered by the Spirate™ System.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A Tribute to the “Bumblebee”<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Visually, the new Super Racing draws inspiration from Omega’s 2013 anti-magnetic masterpiece, the Seamaster Aqua Terra >15,000 Gauss, particularly with its striking yellow accents.<\/p>\n

The Super Racing’s hour and minute hands, as well as its arrowhead indices, are filled with an exclusive Super-LumiNova lume that gives off a bright yellow glow. The tachymeter scale on the black ceramic bezel ring is marked in yellow oven-fired enamel.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
