Among Formula 1 fans, the name Michael Schumacher is spoken with hushed and reverential tones, as he belongs to a man who, even in this modern era of hyperbole, can rightfully be called a racing legend and perhaps the greatest driver of all time. The German driver won seven Formula One (F1) World Championships and in 2002 became the first driver in F1 history to finish in the top three in every race of the season. It is not surprising, therefore, that he was approached by Omega to become an ambassador for the Swiss brand, lending his name and influence to a series of special editions of their iconic Speedmaster range. The watch on sale, with reference 35195000, is a special edition produced in 11,111 numbered examples in honor of Michael Schumacher’s victory in the 2001 world championship. Much appreciated by enthusiasts and collectors all over the world, this special edition is stands out for its beautiful carbon fiber dial.
