The Olympic Games and Omega as Official Timekeeper

Omega 2006 Olympic Timeless Collection

The celebrated Swiss watch brand Omega has been chosen to become the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games, 2006. During an exhibition held at the Olympic Museum, IOC President Jacques Rogge presented duplications of the original Omega chronographs, which were used in all the competitions of the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. These gorgeous gifts became a part of the MuseumРІР‚в„ўs collections.

Omega regained its historic role of the Official Timekeeper by providing the Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games with the finest timepieces - the Olympic Timeless Collection. Six remarkable chronographs commemorate the Olympic Games and maintain OmegaРІР‚в„ўs groundbreaking contributions to the art and science of sports timing.

The collaboration of the IOC and Omega aimed at creating accurate and reliable horological tools dates back to 1932. Swatch played the role of the Official Timekeeper within 1991 and 2004, but at the Olympic Winter Games in Torino last February, the globeРІР‚в„ўs greatest sportsmen once again used Omega timepieces to find out their results.

Seamaster Chronograph

The Seamaster chronograph in the OMEGA Olympic Timeless Collection features a combination of white Arabic numbers and red chronograph counter hands on a black face shielded by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Its distinctive Olympic appearance is provided by the rhodium-plated Olympic Rings. Its divers' watch rank is provided by the strong case, the unidirectional rotating stainless steel bezel, patented OMEGA helium escape valve and water tightness up to 300 meters / 1000 feet made available by a screw-in crown with O-ring gasket and decompression ring, screw-in pushers and a screw-in case back. The best Swiss watch designers and artists designed the sporty appearance of this chronograph, which is improved by a robust, watertight rubber wristlet.
