Just a day after the Olympic flame arrived on French soil, for the Paris Olympics 2024, we look at a very special release in the colours of the Games
As the clock ticks down to the start of the competition on July 26, Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games, Omega, presents a thematic Speedmaster Chronoscope.
The new 43mm series comprises four models in the gold, black and white colourway of this year’s Games.
Of note are the version in full stainless steel with an anodised aluminium bezel, and another with a ceramic bezel and 18K Moonshine Gold case and bracelet—Omega’s own yellow gold alloy, known for its subtle hue and long-lasting shine.
A shared feature among all four models is the silvery white opaline dial, which is transferred with three dark grey timing scales in a 1940’s “snail” design. These include a tachymeter scale, a pulsometer scale, and a telemeter scale.
Another key detail is the commemorative caseback. The stamped medallion is crafted with a frosted base and features a mirror-polished Paris 2024 logo, along with the stamped words, “Paris 2024” and the Olympic Rings.
Omega has equipped the Speedmaster Chronoscope with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908 / 9909, certified by METAS at the highest standard of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance in the Swiss watch industry.
A further two editions are available in the Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris 2024 collection: a stainless-steel model on a perforated black calfskin leather strap, and a second 18K Moonshine Gold version on a standard black calfskin leather strap.
All in all, a perfect tribute to the precise and all-encompassing timekeeping that Omega has brought to the Olympic Games since 1932.
