As the official timekeeper for the Paris 2024 Olympics, OMEGA has unveiled a new special edition wristwatch that celebrates the upcoming Games in style. Building on its legacy of commemorative timepieces, the Swiss brand introduces the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition, a watch that pays homage to the iconic Olympic medals of gold, silver, and bronze.
Design and Materials
The OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition features a 39mm case crafted from OMEGA’s unique Bronze Gold alloy. This material combines 37.5% gold with 50% copper, along with palladium, silver, and gallium. This blend creates a distinctive look that resists tarnishing, ensuring the watch maintains its elegant appearance over time.
The watch’s Ag925 silver dial is adorned with a Clous de Paris guilloché pattern, adding a touch of classic sophistication. The vintage-inspired design is further enhanced by 18K Sedna™ Gold and PVD Bronze Gold-coated hands, reflecting OMEGA’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship.
Movement and Inspiration
Mechanically, the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition pays tribute to a classic OMEGA timepiece from 1939. The watch is powered by the in-house Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8926, which is a modern interpretation of the vintage 30T2 movement used in the original 1939 model. This movement ensures precise timekeeping while honoring OMEGA’s rich horological heritage.
Special Features
The caseback of the watch is stamped with the Paris 2024 medallion, Olympic Rings, and the Olympic Flames, underscoring its connection to the Games. The watch is completed with a brown calf-leather strap that adds a polished, retro appeal to the overall design.
Packaging and Availability
The OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition is presented in a special white box featuring graphic imprints of the Paris 2024 Olympics, further emphasizing its commemorative nature. Priced at $12,000 USD, the watch is now available through OMEGA boutiques and authorized retailers.
