New OMEGA Watch Marks One Year To The Olympic Games Paris 2024

In exactly one year’s time, the world will be turning its attention to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. To start the countdown to this historic sporting occasion, the event’s Official Timekeeper, OMEGA, is launching a brand new timepiece – complete with a golden touch.

OMEGA crafted the Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition as an exclusive tribute to the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad. This edition of the Olympic Games will mark OMEGA’s 31st time as Official Timekeeper, a role the company has fulfilled since 1932.

The new 42 mm timepiece will only be available from OMEGA Boutiques in the host city, Paris. OMEGA created the watch from stainless steel and 18K Moonshine™ Gold – the brand’s very own yellow gold alloy, which offers a more subtle hue, as well as high resistance to fading. As an Olympic Games timepiece, the use of gold is an essential inclusion, and a reminder of the coveted medals that every athlete strives for. Most prominently, OMEGA used it for the watch’s bezel, which features a laser-structured diving scale in positive relief, and a single dot of Super-LumiNova at 12 o’clock.

The laser-engraved dial also delivers an eye-catching look. Produced in white ceramic, it has a matte finish with polished waves in positive relief. On the date display at 6 o’clock, OMEGA has cleverly used the Paris 2024 typography to inscribe the numbers in black, while the central second’s hand carries a small yet visible Paris 2024 emblem.

A timepiece worthy of the Olympic Games Paris 2024

These are not the only details to distinguish this original timepiece. The commemorative caseback reveals an inlayed 18K Moonshine™ Gold medallion, featuring the distinctive element of the Paris 2024 emblem, polished against a laser-ablated background. The stamped words “Paris 2024″ and the iconic Olympic Rings in stainless steel, polished on a frosted structure, complete the Paris 2024 emblem.

Around the wrist, the watch is worn on a stainless steel bracelet with OMEGA’s new patented Quick Change System, meaning the wearer can easily switch it for something more personal – such as a Quick Change rubber strap in either blue, white or red – or even a dedicated Paris 2024 NATO Strap.

Of course, in the spirit of athletic excellence, this Seamaster Diver 300M maintains the highest standards of precision and performance. The Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) tested and certified the Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8800, indeed the entire watch, to meet a stringent level of quality.

The Olympic Games Paris 2024 will begin on July 26th, 2024. As Official Timekeeper, OMEGA has spent over 90 years developing and improving the most important technologies in sports measurement, while also recording the dreams of the world’s best athletes. The brand eagerly awaits the next exciting edition, where more great moments in time will undoubtedly be captured.
