OMEGA introduces the “Seamaster Olympic Games
Collection”, which celebrates the brand’s unrivalled timekeeping legacy through
five unique watches. The collection represents the different colours of the famous Rings
of the Olympic Games, with models available in black, yellow, green, blue or
red. As well as having a vibrant colour design and playful spirit, the
collection has largely been inspired by several OMEGA stopwatches from the
brand’s timekeeping past – particularly those used at the 1976 events in
Montreal and Innsbruck. This can be seen on the domed black and white dial of each watch,
designed to be read at a glance, with sporty hands and bold hour markers on
black, set in sharp contrast with an easily-readable minute track on a white
outer circle. To further enhance the watch's athletic spirit, there's also a
coloured pulse reader encircling the dial, with three narrowly-separated 20
second timing intervals, enabling the wearer to easily calculate their pulse
beats-per-minute. On the caseback, there is an anodized aluminium ring which includes
all known host cities and dates from OMEGA’s Olympic Games journey, from Los
Angeles 1932 up to Los Angeles 2028. This impressive list shows exactly how
OMEGA has established its name at the event over so many years. The 39.5 mm watches are presented on leather straps, which are
micro-perforated both for style and to aerate the wearer’s skin. Inside, the
watches are driven by the Master Chronometer calibre 8800. Only 2,032 versions of each model
have been created, a reference to OMEGA's role as Official Timekeeper, which
extends right through till 2032, marking 100 years of Olympic Games
timekeeping. The Limited Edition number is engraved on the side of the case.
