Omega has always been driven by a pioneering spirit; in fact, no watch company in the world holds more records for accuracy. Their watches have been the timepiece of choice for some of history’s greatest explorers—from deep-sea divers to astronauts.
Taking inspiration from the rings of the Olympic Games, as well as historic Omega stopwatches, this sporty Omega Olympic Official Timekeeper watch offers a fascinating nod to the past, and, as a limited-edition timepiece, only 2,032 pieces were produced, making it a challenge to obtain.
As a self-winding automatic watch, it is driven by the Omega Master Co-Axial 8800 caliber, which delivers a resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, and can be seen in motion via the exhibition case back.
Its stainless steel case measures 39 mm in diameter, 9 mm in height, and rests upon a cool micro-perforated red-colored leather strap with a stainless steel tang buckle.
Additional case features include a push / pull winding crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystals on both sides. Upon the case back there is a red anodized aluminum ring that displays Olympic host cities and dates from 1932 up to 2028.
The minimalist black and white dial sports printed Arabic numerals, lacquered hands, blue-colored central seconds hand and a date window classically positioned at 6.
From its limited-edition availability to its chronometer certification and celebration of the Olympics, we are confident that this sporty and minimalist masterpiece from Omega will make a wonderful addition to your collection.
Standout feature(s): Limited-edition of 2,032 pieces produced; certified Master Chronometer; Olympic Games stylings.
