As the countdown to the 2024 Paris Olympics reaches 100 days, Omega has once again marked the occasion with the release of two new Speedmaster Chronoscope models. This launch follows last year’s introduction of the two-tone Seamaster Dive 300m and continues Omega’s tradition of celebrating major events with special edition timepieces.
Omega: The Official Timekeeper
Omega’s association with the Olympics dates back to 1932, and the brand has been the official timekeeper for the Games 31 times. Their role involves providing precise timing and scoring for all events, a responsibility that has solidified Omega’s reputation for excellence and innovation in watchmaking.
The New Chronoscope Models
The newly introduced Speedmaster Chronoscope models come in two variants: one in Moonshine gold and the other in stainless steel. Both versions feature a 43mm case and are equipped with Omega’s caliber 9908, a manually wound Master Chronometer movement with a 60-hour power reserve.
- Moonshine Gold Model: This luxurious model boasts a white opaline dial with contrasting black subdials and a black ceramic bezel. It is available with either a full gold bracelet or a vintage-inspired black strap. The closed caseback is engraved with the 2024 Paris Olympics logo, adding a unique commemorative touch.
- Stainless Steel Model: The steel version mirrors the gold model in terms of dial layout and functionality but features an aluminum bezel instead of ceramic. It is offered with a stainless steel bracelet or a racing-style strap, providing options for different tastes.
Design and Functionality
Both models feature a trio of timing scales on the dial – a tachymeter, pulsometer, and telemeter – enhancing their functionality for various timing needs. The dials are adorned with gold Arabic numerals, which add warmth and contrast to the otherwise monochromatic palette.
The Chronoscope’s design draws inspiration from the 1940s, evident in the silver-white opaline dial and the distinctive “snail” scale. The black subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock maintain legibility, a critical aspect for a watch packed with multiple scales.
Pricing and Availability
The Moonshine gold models are priced at $32,700 for the strap version and $51,400 for the bracelet version. The stainless steel models are more affordable, with the strap version retailing at $9,500 and the bracelet version at $9,800. All models are available now, offering collectors and Omega enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of Olympic history.
Omega and the Paris 2024 Olympics
As the world eagerly awaits the start of the Paris 2024 Olympics, Omega’s role as the official timekeeper is once again in the spotlight. The brand’s commitment to precision and innovation ensures that athletes and spectators can rely on accurate timing for all events.
These new Speedmaster Chronoscope models not only celebrate the upcoming Games but also continue Omega’s legacy of creating timepieces that combine functionality, design, and a deep connection to significant global events. Whether in gold or steel, on a bracelet or strap, these watches are a testament to Omega’s enduring excellence in watchmaking.
