Gold, silver, and bronze medals have long been the most iconic rewards for sporting success, symbolizing the pinnacle of athletic achievement. As the world gears up for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Official Timekeeper, OMEGA, has unveiled a special timepiece that honours these coveted prizes in a unique and collectable design.
The OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition watch incorporates all three legendary materials into its exquisite design. This trio includes a 39mm case crafted in OMEGA’s exclusive Bronze Gold, a radiant dial made from Ag 925 silver, and slender hands in 18K Sedna™ Gold with a special PVD Bronze Gold coating.
Inspired by a classic OMEGA wristwatch from 1939, the vintage look of the Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition draws from the brand’s earliest years of timekeeping. The original watch housed OMEGA’s famous 30T manual-winding small seconds calibre and featured the reference “CK 859” in its technical sheets. Continuing this tradition, the Paris 2024 tribute watch includes the engraving “BG 859” on the case back, symbolizing the case shape in Bronze Gold.
This alloy, known for its soft pink hue and incomparable corrosion resistance without verdigris-oxidation, is enriched with noble elements such as 37.5% gold, hallmarked as 9K, as well as palladium and silver.
The watch’s dial is adorned with the “Clous de Paris” pattern at its centre, a nod to French craftsmanship and an emblem of meticulous and elegant decoration. Additional details include a circular brushed pattern on the minute track and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, with a dark grey OMEGA logo presented in the brand’s heritage style. The caseback is further decorated with a stamped and frosted Olympic Games Paris 2024 medallion.
The Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition is worn on a brown calf-skin leather strap, featuring a sandblasted Bronze Gold buckle with a polished vintage OMEGA logo in positive relief. The same vintage logo can also be found embossed on the watch’s crown.
Ensuring the highest standard of precision and performance, the timepiece is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8926. This manual-winding movement is a modern tribute to the vintage 30T2 movement. Each watch comes with a certification card, proving it has passed the Master Chronometer tests set by METAS (the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology), and is housed in a special presentation box.
As athletes strive for gold, silver, and bronze in Paris, this watch stands as a timeless tribute to their extraordinary achievements.
The OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold edition retails at SGD$17,400.00 inclusive tax.
