Limited to 2,032 pieces in each color!
OMEGA has served as the Official Timekeeper for the Olympic Games 27 times, beginning with the 10th Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1932. The collection released for the PyeongChang Olympics features five watches, each distinguished by the Olympic colors: black, yellow, green, blue, and red.
The design is inspired by the stopwatches used at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, and the Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria.
The dome-shaped black and white dials enhance legibility, while the sporty hands and thick white Arabic numerals create a sharp contrast. Furthermore, the pulse reader, in the same color as the strap, not only serves as an accent but can also actually measure heart rate per minute.
It functions as a source of inspiration for the athletic spirit.
An aluminum ring on the case back is engraved with a list representing OMEGA's journey as Official Timekeeper, covering all confirmed Olympic years and cities to date, from the 1932 Los Angeles Games to the planned 2028 Los Angeles Games.
The strap is made of perforated leather, offering both style and excellent breathability. The limited edition number is also engraved on the side of the case.
Sales are limited to 2,032 pieces for each model. This number commemorates the extension of OMEGA's role as Official Timekeeper until 2032, which marks its 100th anniversary.
This is a sports watch that truly embodies the deep connection between OMEGA and the Olympics.
