omega Omega Seamaster Olympic Official Timekeeper

Stopwatches served as inspiration

The design of the Omega Seamaster Olympic Official Timekeeper was inspired by the OMEGA stopwatches used at the 1976 Olympic Games in Innsbruck and Montreal. To enable the wearer of the watch to calculate their pulse in beats per minute, the domed black and white dials are equipped with a colourful heart rate monitor with three closely spaced time intervals of 20 seconds.

case back with Olympic legacy

The anodized aluminum ring of the Omega Seamaster Olympic Official Timekeeper frames the Master Chronometer Caliber 8800 or 8806 movement with a 55-hour power reserve. All of the venues and dates of the Olympic Games in which Omega participated are engraved on the ring. The time span ranges from Los Angeles 1932 to Los Angeles 2028.

Additional lined edition as an edition set

The Omega Seamaster Olympic Official Timekeeper is also available as an Olympic Games Limited Edition set with the five models in the colors of the Olympic rings in a presentation box. In addition to the watches, the box also contains a miniature bell to ring in the final lap. This bell was made in the same Swiss foundry as the real Olympic bells. In this set, the domed dial with an easy-to-read minute ring and contrasting blackened hands is reminiscent of the OMEGA stopwatches used at the 1948 Olympic Games in London. A colorful heart rate monitor can also be found on these dials.

Special highlights of the timepiece

Like the other Omega models, the Omega Seamaster Olympic Official Timekeeper is equipped with a co-axial escapement for long-lasting precision and a silicon balance spring for maximum anti-magnetism. The watches are water-resistant to 6 bar (60 meters) and have a shock resistance of up to 5,000 G on the watch head. All this guarantees the wearer a long service life and significantly fewer maintenance intervals.
