Omega - Seamaster Olympic Games Gold Collection

Omega is launching the Seamaster Olympic Games Gold Collection, three timepieces representing the three winning medals presented to athletes at the Olympic Games.

The Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, Omega will continue to fulfill such role until at least 2032, marking a full 100 years at the event. In tribute to that legacy, three different types of gold have been used to achieve the three timepieces of this special new collection, including 39.5mm cases in 18K yellow gold, 18K Sedna gold and 18K Canopus gold.

New to the brand, Canopus is an exclusive white gold alloy, which is distinctive for its high brilliance, whiteness and longevity.

18K gold is also used for the “leaf” hands and applied indexes of each watch, while the domed dials are eggshell white enamel with a vintage Omega logo, minute track and Seamaster wording also in enamel.

On the casebacks, an 18K gold ring includes all the known host cities and dates from the brand’s Olympic Games journey, from Los Angeles 1932 up to Los Angeles 2028.

Inside, each piece is driven by the Master Chronometer calibre 8807 beating at a frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of 55 hours. Resistant to magnetic fields reaching 15,000 gauss, these movements are equipped with a free sprung-balance with silicon balance spring.

To achieve Master Chronometer status, not only the movements but also the finished watches have passed the 8 rigorous tests set by METAS (The Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology).

The watches of the Seamaster Olympic Games Gold Collection can each be purchased separately and are presented on leather straps in either brown or black. Prices starting at Swiss Francs 16,000 / Euro 16,300 for the yellow gold and pink gold models up to Swiss Francs 17,500 / Euro 17,800 for the Canopus version. omegawatches.com
