Since 1932, OMEGA has served as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games. This year, the Swiss watchmaker puts accuracy and precision at the forefront once again with the two new Speedmaster Chronoscope watches available in the colours of the Paris Olympics 2024.
For over 90 years, OMEGA has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games, and its partnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recently been extended until 2032. While OMEGA’s primary role in this legendary event is to provide precise timing for various sports and disciplines, they also play a crucial part in the development and innovation of the essential equipment that modern-day athletes rely on.
As the Olympics’ official timekeeper, OMEGA has always taken advantage of the biennial event to release new models related to this special occasion. This year, the brand has unveiled two new models, a modified version of the original Chronoscope, available in four 43mm models that pay homage to the game.

OMEGA unveils new Speedmaster Chronoscope watches in the colours of the Paris Olympics 2024
The latest series of watches comes in a sleek 43mm, inspired by the Olympic Games Paris 2024 colourways: gold, black, and white. With four variations, two in Moonshine gold and two in steel, we agree that the gold version is a sight to behold. For those interested in the gold edition, there’s an option for either the full gold bracelet or a black leather strap with a matching gold buckle. The steel model, on the other hand, is available with either a standard stainless bracelet or a black perforated calfskin leather strap. Notably, the strap for the steel version features a white rubber interior, a subtle detail that adds a touch of elegance, complementing the silver dial perfectly.
Now, one of the standout features of each watch is undoubtedly the breathtaking silvery white opaline dial, which serves as a canvas for a multitude of intricate details. Encased within the dial are the tachymeter scale, pulsometer scale, and telemeter scale, offering a comprehensive array of measurements right at your fingertips. This design element pays homage to OMEGA’s commitment to precise timekeeping at the Olympic Games. Delving deeper, one can’t help but admire the blackened subdials, complemented by Arabic numerals and hands coated in luxurious 18K Moonshine Gold.
Turning the watch over reveals another nod to this prestigious event on the case back. Here, a meticulously stamped medallion proudly displays the mirror-polished Paris 2024 logo alongside the iconic Olympic Rings. To truly honour the spirit of the games, impeccable accuracy is paramount. That’s why OMEGA has outfitted the Speedmaster Chronoscope with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908/9909, a movement certified by METAS to the highest standards of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance in the Swiss watchmaking industry.
