Amongst racecar enthusiasts, Michael Schumacher can be justifiably called a legend. The most successful driver in the history of motorsport, Schumacher holds the records for the most World Championship titles (7), the most Grand Prix wins (91) and the most races won in a single season (13). In 1996, Omega released a special lineup of Speedmaster to commemorate the triumphant trajectory of Michael Schumacher’s career, and it was produced in both red and yellow versions.
The production of the special series ran from 1996 to 1999. Despite the fact that the watch does not bear the name “Schumacher”, a number of memorabilia were included with the timepiece that marked it out as something exclusive. The watch came with a tires-shaped presentation box that could be pulled apart, splitting at the middle to reveal the watch. On the right side of the tire was Mr. Schumacher’s signature and on the left were Omega brand logo. A small stand is also included to prevent the presentation from rolling away from the possessor.
