Here's a nice treat for the CART memorabilia collector:

I wonder how many team owners had one of these?

CART or not, that's a very nice looking watch. And expensive!

That looks more like a gift for a Ferrari/Schumi Fan Boy :thumdown:

With a CART logo on the watch?

Question.....

Would this be one of the watches that Omega used to give to pole position winners?

I sorta recall reading that Greg Moore used to give his away to friends and team-mates.....

IIRC, Omega gave them away, but also sold them in stores.

Perhaps OMEGA could be brought back into Champ Car - we need an 'official timing' sponsor don't we?

So if the watch has a CART logo what does it have to do with Schumacher?

I think because the person auctioning the watch used schumacher in the title. Probably to get more hits because Omega has a Michael Schumacher world champ watch out right now thats pretty hot...

Doesn't look like it worked out too well for him. Maybe he should have put CART Champ Car in it so people who might actually want a watch with the CART logo could find it.

Nope.

He re-listed it exactly the same way.

Just out of comparison, anyone have a pic of the omega watches that were given out to pole winners?

I'm sure I saw them once or twice online, but I don't remember where....

Thanx
