Limited Edition Model Adorned with the Rio Games Logo
The hallmark of this Olympic Collection, commemorating the Rio Games, is its instantly recognizable, unique style and design. The base model features the Bullhead. Its distinctive style, with the winding crown at 12 o'clock positioned between the two chronograph pushers, earned the Bullhead its name among watch collectors, as its case shape resembles a bull's head. Furthermore, a second crown at 6 o'clock controls the rotating inner bezel.
The blue leather strap, symbolizing the Rio Games logo, is accented with stitching in the Olympic colors of yellow, green, red, and black. The bi-directional rotating inner bezel with a 60-minute scale also features these five colors: blue, yellow, green, red, and black.
The movement is OMEGA's proprietary automatic Co-Axial Caliber 3113. The case back is engraved with the Olympic Rio de Janeiro Games logo and the serial number, indicating its limited production of 316 pieces worldwide.
