Their movements range from the classic manual caliber 1861 and the 3220 with a chronograph module all the way to the modern Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 9900. You'll find a wide variety of Racing watches with different calibers on the pre-owned market. The collection's top model is made of 18-karat Sedna gold and features a blue dial. Most Racing chronographs come in stainless steel and have a black, green, or white dial. METAS only grants this distinction to timepieces that are resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. As of early 2021, Omega only offers Racing watches with a 44.25-mm case and a Co-Axial caliber with Master Chronometer certification from the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). The 42-mm models feature the classic Professional Moonwatch case. Omega also produced slightly larger 40-mm editions until 2017.

The smallest versions belong to the now-retired Reduced series and measure 39 mm in diameter. Today, the Omega Speedmaster Racing is available in several sizes and with various dial colors. Racing models stand out with their improved readability thanks to the "racing" minute track, which Omega modeled after the checkered flag used at motor races. From then on, it would be known as the "Moonwatch." Since it debuted at nearly the same time, the Speedmaster MK II and its racing dial have always remained in the shadow of watchmaking's crowning achievement. It spent twelve years as a reliable timepiece for motorsport enthusiasts until 1969, when Bull Aldrin wore a Speedmaster on the Moon. In 1964, the distinctive twisted lugs where introduced, which allowed for an asymmetric case that in turn protects the crown and pushers.Omega originally introduced the Speedmaster as a racing chronograph in 1957. This watch was strapped to astronaut Ed White when he made his spacewalk on June 3, 1965, and featuring its simplified calibre 861 was worn by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin when they took their giant leaps on the lunar surface in 1969. In 1963, the third generation was the first watch to pass NASA’s strict testing and was worn on Gemini and Apollo missions. Like its predecessor, it featured the highly collectable Calibre 321 movement.

It was also the first to be worn in space on the wrist of Walter Schirra on October 3, 1962. Two years later, a second version was released with a black aluminium bezel, lollipop seconds hands for Air Force orders and 'Alpha' style hour and minute hands for better legibility. However, when it comes to speed, I’m sure there’s nothing quite as exhilarating as jetting off to the moon. It is not only one of the most iconic chronographs, it was the first chronograph wristwatch with its tachymeter scale engraved on the bezel - a feature designed for the benefit of racing drivers. The original Speedmaster 'Broad Arrow' was created in 1957 and was so named because of its distinctive hands.
