There are 100 days to go until the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris and Omega, the event’s longstanding official timekeeper, is marking the occasion with a new Speedmaster Chronoscope in the gold, black and white colours of the games.
There are four models in the range, including a steel-on-steel piece with an anodised aluminium bezel, a second when the bezel is switched for ceramic and a piece in 18ct Moonshine gold, Omega’s own alloy that polishes-up nicely in a slightly pale yellow gold.
The 43mm watches have silvery-white opaline dials with three dark grey timing scales — tachymeter, pulsometer and telemeter — in a snail design configuration first seen in the 1940s.
“It’s the perfect tribute to the precise and all-encompassing timekeeping that Omega brings to the Olympic Games – a role it has held since 1932,” the company says.
The collection comes with closed case backs adorned with the Paris 2024 Olympics logo and the Olympic rings in relief against a frosted background.
Inside, the watch is powered by the Speedmaster Chronoscope with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908 / 9909.
Along with the bracelet editions, the watches can also be bought on black calfskin leather straps.
The steel piece is £9,300 on a bracelet or £8,900 on a perforated leather strap.
Moonshine Gold models are £30,900 on a leather strap or £48,500 with a gold bracelet.
