Why the Omega Speedmaster Racing Japan Limited Edition Is a Rare and Powerful Tribute to Track-Bred Precision

Before the Omega Speedmaster became forever linked to the Moon, it was built for the racetrack—and the Omega Speedmaster Racing Japan Limited Edition 3570.40.00 proudly reclaims that legacy. Introduced in 2004 and produced in a strictly limited run of 2,004 pieces, this Japan-exclusive reference quickly gained global recognition for its distinctive styling and rarity, making it one of the most sought-after modern Speedmasters among collectors.

Its 42mm stainless steel case houses a bold black dial accented with vibrant orange chronograph hands, Omega logo, and hour markers, inspired by the classic Speedmaster Mark II Racing. The outer minute track features a red-and-white “racing” pattern with five tick marks between each minute, allowing for precise timing down to the second. Beneath the hesalite crystal beats the manual-wind Omega calibre 861, a movement revered for its proven reliability and precision, echoing the Speedmaster’s long-standing professional chronograph heritage.

This pre-owned Omega Speedmaster Racing Japan Limited Edition is presented in good condition with minimal signs of wear. It has been professionally inspected and comes with an authentication certificate, ensuring complete peace of mind for discerning buyers. While the original papers are not included, it comes with its original box, enhancing its collectability and presentation value.

A watch for those who appreciate both heritage and technical mastery, this Racing Dial Speedmaster offers a unique chapter in Omega’s history. Perfect for collectors, heritage-driven enthusiasts, and those looking to expand their collection with a rare, investment-worthy timepiece, it embodies the spirit of precision timing—on the track, in history, and on your wrist.
