The Swiss watchmaker and Official Timekeeper of the Olympics has released a special edition piece honouring this year’s Games, infused with the brand’s rich history
Just in time for tomorrow's much-awaited opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics, beloved Swiss watchmaker Omega, the Official Timekeeper of the Games, has released a special piece to commemorate the moment. Aptly named ‘The Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition,’ the watch draws inspiration from the most coveted aspect of the Games: the medals, symbolising the pinnacle of sporting achievement.
The timepiece elegantly incorporates all three revered materials – bronze, silver, and gold. It features a 39mm case crafted from Omega’s exclusive bronze gold, a sleek dial made from Ag 925 silver, and delicate hands in 18K Sedna gold with a special PVD bronze gold coating. Boasting a vintage feel, the piece is influenced by a classic Omega wristwatch from 1939, harking back to the brand’s pioneering days of timekeeping. Naturally, just like the athletes competing at the Games, the watch’s performance is top-notch, powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8926.

Omega has a long and cherished history with the Olympic Games, dating back to 1932 when the brand became the Official Timekeeper for the sporting event.

Complete with a stylish brown calf-skin leather strap and an engraving of the Paris 2024 Olympics logo on the case back, this watch is the perfect keepsake to forever treasure in memory of this year’s spectacle.
