With just 100 days left until the 2024 Olympics in Paris, OMEGA, the Official Timekeeper, is celebrating the countdown with the launch of its new Speedmaster Chronoscope collection. This special series, encapsulating the spirit and colors of the Games, includes four distinct models each featuring an Olympian blend of gold, black, and white—the emblematic colors of the upcoming Olympics.

The highlight of the collection is the intricate silvery white opaline dial, adorned with three dark grey timing scales in a vintage 1940s “snail” design, comprising a tachymeter, a pulsometer, and a telemeter. This design not only pays homage to OMEGA’s longstanding precision in Olympic timekeeping since 1932 but also enhances the functionality of the watch, catering to both sports enthusiasts and collectors. Among the variants, one boasts a full stainless steel body with an anodized aluminum bezel, while another more premium version features a ceramic bezel paired with an 18K Moonshine™ Gold case and bracelet, a unique yellow gold alloy celebrated for its subtle hue and durability.

Subtle design touches such as blackened subdials, Arabic numerals, and leaf-shaped hands all in 18K Moonshine™ Gold enrich the face of the watch, marrying luxury with readability. The back of the Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris 2024 features a commemorative caseback that includes a stamped medallion with a frosted base and a polished Paris 2024 logo, alongside the Olympic Rings and the inscription “Paris 2024”, sealing its identity as a collector’s item linked to the XXXIII Olympiad.

OMEGA has not only focused on aesthetic enhancements but also on technical prowess. Each timepiece in the collection is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908 / 9909, a movement certified by METAS for its supreme precision, performance, and magnetic resistance—key for timing an event as critical and diverse as the 2024 Olympics.

Additional models in this celebratory collection include a stainless steel variant with a perforated black calfskin leather strap, and an exclusive 18K Moonshine™ Gold model on a standard black calfskin strap, providing options for every taste and occasion. The Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris 2024 thus stands as a luxurious tribute to the upcoming games, offering a blend of OMEGA’s watchmaking excellence and the Olympics.
