Tokyo 2020
The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 has officially begun in Japan, even though a little later than initially planned. OMEGA has been the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, and will serve in the role for the 29th time during this prestigious event.
Bringing almost 90 years of experience to the occasion, OMEGA will once again capture every second of action with unrivalled innovation, precision and passion! As the brand knows best, precision, excellence and commitment are required to stand at the top of the Olympic Games podium.
While athletes were in attendance of the iconic sporting event making their final preparations, OMEGA unveiled a very special timepiece in tribute to the occasion, the OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Tokyo 2020. This watch delivers a unique color scheme inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem, along with exceptional watchmaking technology.
Crafted in stainless steel, this watch features a 42 mm case, mounted with a blue ceramic bezel ring filled with a white enamel diving scale and a polished-brushed bracelet that is seamlessly integrated with the case.
To complement the blue, there is a polished white ceramic dial with extra depth provided by the laser-engraved waves, along with blue hands and indexes and the famous Seamaster name highlighted in red. The dial design is completed by a date window at 6 o’clock.
The sapphire crystal caseback features a transferred Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem marking this special moment in time, while on the inside, we can see the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 – which has been officially certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). A standard of performance that any gold medal athlete would be proud of.
This unique timepiece is delivered inside its own special Olympic Games presentation box, along with a Master Chronometer card and a full 5-year warranty.
A gold medal is known as the ultimate prize at the Olympic Games, representing the greatest accomplishment of an athlete’s career. In tribute to that iconic sporting honor, OMEGA has crafted two unique timepieces, each dedicated to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and made in full 18K yellow gold.
The new Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M watches are offered in 38mm or 41mm sizes. Their radiant gold cases are set in 18K yellow gold, considered by OMEGA to be the premium standard in watch and jewelry making, with its superb balance between purity and practicality. Both watches feature blue leather straps and polished blue ceramic dials, which have been laser-engraved with a pattern inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem.
The models' caseback also includes the Tokyo 2020 logo transferred in the Olympic Games colours and offers a clear view of the movement. Each timepiece is driven by a Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre, guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic resistance.
The new Seamaster Aqua Terra Tokyo 2020 Gold Editions come with OMEGA’s full 5-year warranty and a special Tokyo 2020 presentation box.
Michael Phelps, the most awarded Olympian in history with 28 Olympic Games medals, including 23 gold, has been a part of the OMEGA brand family since 2004 and he is one of the first people to wear this new watch on their wrist. He has always known about the importance of time for an athlete.
According to his words: “If you’re an Olympian, or trying to become an Olympian, it’s a 24-hour, 7 day a week job. It’s non-stop. It’s around-the-clock.”
And he knows exactly what it takes to achieve that coveted gold medal, saying, “To really be prepared for Olympic Games, you have to put in the work. You have to go through the struggle. For the journey I went five times, it was never easy, but I know the work that I was doing gave me the results that I deserved.”
Take a magical journey to Japan.
