Omega celebrates its legacy as timekeeper for the Olympics with a special collection

Published Thu, Mar 1, 2018 · 09:50 PM

The bosses of the Olympic Games must have valued Omega a lot as a timekeeper to keep it on the job for so long - 86 years, with at least another 14 to go to make it 100 years.

Playing the role of timekeeper of the world's biggest sports event for that extended time has also sharpened Omega's skills in making time measuring instruments for races as well as wrist-watches for everyday use.

Just take a look at some of the timepieces Omega has produced for the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, which blew its final whistle last Sunday (Feb 25). While the designs for the latest Olympics watches reflect the different aspects of the event, they are for the first time powered by Omega's new ultra-sophisticated Master Chronometer movement - a movement that has passed rigorous tests to prove, among other features, that it's very precise in keeping time; tightly secured against the entry of water or moisture; and highly resistant to magnetic distortions.
