Swiss luxury watch brand OMEGA has launched a special edition Seamaster Diver 300M watch to mark one year to the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The Olympic Games Paris 2024 will begin on July 26th, 2024, and OMEGA is the Official Timekeeper of this historic sporting event.
The newly launched Seamaster Diver 300M special model is an exclusive tribute to the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad. The Olympic Games Paris 2024 will also mark OMEGA’s 31st time as Official Timekeeper, a role the company has fulfilled since 1932.
This new timepiece features a 42mm diameter case made of stainless steel and a unidirectional bezel with an insert in 18K Moonshine™ Gold. The later is OMEGA’s very own yellow gold alloy, which offers a more restrained tone, as well as high-resistance to fading.
The 18K Moonshine™ Gold bezel has a laser-structured diving scale in positive relief, and a single dot of Super-LumiNova at 12 o’clock.
The laser-engraved dial in white ceramic has a mate finish with polished waves in positive relief. On the date display at 6 o’clock, OMEGA has used the Paris 2024 typography to inscribe the numbers in black, while the central seconds hand carries a small yet visible Paris 2024 emblem.
Secured with patented NAIAD LOCK system, the stainless steel caseback sports an inlayed 18K Moonshine™ Gold medallion of the Paris 2024 emblem, polished against a laser-ablated background. This is perfectly complemented by the stamped words “Paris 2024″ and the iconic Olympic Rings in stainless steel, which are polished on a frosted structure, to complete the Paris 2024 emblem.
The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet with OMEGA’s new patented Quick Change System and foldover clasp.
This Seamaster Diver 300M houses the Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8800 movement. Tested and certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), this self-winding movement offers a power reserve of 55 hours.
