Introduction
Linked to iconic F1 world champion, Michael Schumacher, the Omega Speedmaster Reduced ref. 3810.12.140 features the Speedmaster Reduced’s usual 39mm stainless steel case and movement in collaboration with a unique yellow dial design that pays homage to Michael and his time with Jordan Grand Prix. With its yellow center, thick white chapter ring, and large white indices, the ref. 3810.12.140 is a wonderfully legible timepiece that is immediately recognizable on the wrist. Featuring ‘ghost’ hands that float above the dial as their stem blends into the dial, the ref. 3810.12.140 is an interesting timepiece to enjoy as its dial design is that little bit more unusual. With black chronograph hands enhancing legibility and toning down the Speedmaster’s tool watch design that little bit more, the ref. 3810.12.140 is a colorful timepiece that celebrates the early days of Schumacher's iconic career.
