In a year, global eyes will fixate on the inaugural event of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. To mark the commencement of this monumental sporting celebration, OMEGA, the event’s designated timekeeper, unveils a new watch infused with a touch of gold.
The Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition is a singular homage to the XXXIII Olympiad. This will be OMEGA’s 31st stint as the Official Timekeeper since they began in 1932. For now, this 42mm piece is exclusively at OMEGA outlets in Paris. Crafted from stainless steel and OMEGA’s unique 18K MoonshineTM Gold, it has a milder shade and greater fade resistance. Its gold element evokes the treasured medals athletes vie for, notably in the watch’s bezel with a laser-etched diving scale and a Super-LumiNova dot at noon.
The laser-imprinted dial stands out. Fashioned from white ceramic, it exhibits a matte finish with shiny waves. The date at 6 o’clock employs Paris 2024’s font for the black digits, and the second boasts a subtle Paris 2024 logo.
There are more unique features. The back showcases an 18K MoonshineTM Gold emblem of the Paris 2024 logo against a laser-carved backdrop. Alongside are the words “Paris 2024” and the emblematic Olympic Rings in steel, shining atop a matte texture.
The watch embraces the wrist with a steel bracelet, incorporating OMEGA’s innovative Quick Change System. This allows wearers to swap it with personal choices like Quick Change rubber straps in blue, white, or red, or a unique Paris 2024 NATO Strap.
Living up to its athletic reverence, this Seamaster Diver 300M upholds top-tier accuracy and functionality. The Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8800, along with the entire watch, has received the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) seal of quality.
The Paris 2024 Olympics kick off on July 26th, 2024. As the Official Timekeeper, OMEGA’s nine-decade journey has been about pioneering sports timing technologies and immortalizing athletes’ aspirations. The company eagerly anticipates the forthcoming chapter, sure to be filled with memorable moments.
