The clock is ticking down to a Lichfield auctioneer selling two collections of classic watches.

The lots are expected to fetch £25,000 when they go under the hamme at Richard Winterton Auctioneers on 14th August.

Among the pieces are a ‘racing red’ Michael Schumacher special edition Omega Speedmaster, an Omega Speedmaster Professional Mark II, and a vintage Omega Seamaster chronograph.

There is also a British military issue Hamilton wristwatch bearing the ‘crow’s foot’ broad arrow symbol, a 1970s Aquastar Regate regatta watch with a countdown timer, a vintage Omega LED ‘time computer’ and a retro Jowissa digital timepiece with a brown and orange dial.

Further examples include models by Longines, Tag Heuer, Tudor, Oris, Seiko, Zenith, Chronographe Suisse, Oriosa and Favre Leuba.

Another collection of wristwatches from a separate seller features a stainless steel Glashütte Original, a Rolex Oyster Perpetual with a blue dial, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, a diamond set Parmigiani Fleurier and watches by Breguet, Audemars Piguet and Omega.
