Michael Schumacher became one of the most successful drivers in the history of F1 racing when he won the world championship for the sixth time in 2003. Omega celebrated this milestone of their once long-time brand ambassador with a special edition of their linchpin Speedmaster. Introduced in 2004, the Speedmaster Legend is a distinctive-looking timepiece that commemorates Schumacher with an impressive panda dial and a superlative mechanism.

Well-proportioned, the stainless steel case measures 42mm, with beautiful bevelling on the lugs, and is finished with both polished and brushed surfaces. Functionality is optimised on the case with 100 metres of water resistance and a tachymeter bezel. The dial features a panda-style horizontal configuration with a striking black and red outer minute ring, creating a pleasing colour scheme. The applied minute markers are luminous to ensure legibility, as do the three hands. The date window is placed quite discreetly at six o'clock as it almost merges with the 12-hour counter.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
