With 100 days until the Paris 2024 Olympics, OMEGA now reveals two new Speedmaster Chronoscope timepieces. Offering in stainless steel and 18k Moonshine™ Gold, the new timepieces nod to the quadrennial global sporting event’s color schemes.
Both variants feature a 43mm case size and a silver-white opaline dial punctuated with blackened subdials. The dial references a “snail” design from the 1940s, boasting a trio of dark gray timing scales comprising a tachymeter, pulsometer and telemeter.
Fitted with a black bezel - aluminum for the steel version and ceramic for the Moonshine™ Gold - implemented with a tachymeter scale. Its Arabic numeral hour markings and leaf-shaped handset are treated in PVD Moonshine™ Gold, adding a radiant touch that accentuates its “snail” dial.
In commemorating the event, the caseback is stamped with a medallion, “PARIS 2024” letterings alongside the Olympic Rings. The high-precision, in-house Calibre 9909 beats away at 28,800 vibrations every hour. Manually-wound, the chronoraph is geared with Co-Axial escapement and column wheel, while also being a METAS-certified Master Chronometer.
Prices range from $9,500 - $51,400 USD, the new timepieces are available with matching metal bracelets, a racing-style leather strap for the steel edition as well as a smooth leather strap version for the Moonshine™ Gold. Head over to OMEGA's official website to inquire on the watches' availability.
