    I've recently been lucky to purchase my grail Speedmaster. If you're not familiar with how rare this watch is click the video below.
    This watch was never available for sale to the public and was given to the Ferrari F1 team members by Michael Schumacher after his 2003 - 6th World Championship win.
    For me this is the most exclusive Omega Speedmaster to date. I'm now curious if there are any other exclusive Speedmasters. By exclusive I mean not available for sale to the public and come with a great story.
    Feel free to share your thoughts and any info on this or other exclusive Omegas.

    Nice find, congrats! I have the "public" limited edition of the same watch and love it!

    Regarding your question of other exclusive Speedmaster models; yes, there are many...;-) The Italian market for example is famous for a number of limited editions given to members of the Military or Police.

    And staying with the car theme there is a really nice limited edition that was made for the Porsche Club of America.

    That's a great piece, the 3559.32.00 is no longer available new but the original MSRP was $4,500.
    https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-speedmaster-legend-35593200
    The are some used examples on Chono24 and eBay but asking prices are $6000 and above.
    There is also a 3556.50.00 listed on ebay/chrono24 which looks like a 3559.32.00 due to having a dial and hands from a 3559.32.00, the seller is asking just under $6k for this modified/franken watch.

    The 3506.31.00 is also quite nice, but without the red accents and different subdials:

    I hope you got a good deal.

    Speedmaster Starmus award.

    6 total…. 2 variation with 3 apiece.

    There is no question the most rare Speedmasters by far. All are solid gold and edition 1 would be the more expensive of the 2. 1 of which is a first edition daily wearer for non other then Neil deGrasse Tyson one of the few people to win the award.

    Ok... just that I saw the exact same photo listed from a seller in Florida so I guess this is not your watch but a stock photo.
    Talking about that Omega Porsche Club Of America Speedmaster Watch.
    Nice looking watch, it appears to be the CO‑AXIAL CHRONOMETER CHRONOGRAPH 44.25 MM with custom dial and coloring.

    Which watch are you asking about?
    If you're asking about the original watch in the opening post, I've seen 2 come up for sale in the last 3 years.
