Omega Speedmaster Date Olympic Timeless 3516.20.00

OMEGA has an unparalleled history in sports timekeeping. The first company ever appointed Official Timekeeper for all Olympic disciplines, OMEGA supplied 30 chronographs and counters for use at the Olympic Games held in Los Angeles in 1932. Such was the OMEGA timekeepers’ expertise that the brand with the Greek letter was chosen to serve as Official Timekeeper at twenty-one Olympic Games over the course of the 20th century—more than any other company.

The Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games mark OMEGA’s return to its historic role as Official Timekeeper—and the record-breaking eleventh time the company has been called upon to assure the split-second accuracy and reliability of competition results at the Olympic Winter Games. To mark the occasion, OMEGA presents the Olympic Timeless Collection. Six striking chronographs celebrate the Olympic Games and recall OMEGA’s innovative contributions to the art and science of sports timekeeping.

The Olympic Timeless Collection recalls the very beginnings of OMEGA’s timekeeping exploits with a design that harks back to the chronographs produced by the brand in the 1930s and used at the 1932 Los Angeles Games. Each of the chronographs in the Olympic Timeless Collection features the red OMEGA name and symbol found on the original 1932 chronographs. Further underscoring OMEGA’s return to its traditional role at the Olympic Games are the Olympic rings symbol, the OMEGA name and symbol and the inscription “Official Timekeeper”, stamped on the case back. Perhaps the most striking feature of these Olympic Timeless Collection chronographs is one that also represents a remarkable first for OMEGA. An innovative application of nanotechnology has enabled OMEGA to integrate the most famous symbol of the Olympic Games into the design of the Olympic Timeless Collection. On each of the six watches, the five interlocking coloured rings are placed as the counterweight of the central seconds hand. Reproduced with extraordinary precision and fidelity, this historic symbol celebrates the Olympic Games and exemplifies OMEGA’s unparalleled record of innovation in watchmaking and sports timekeeping.

Seamaster Chronograph

The Seamaster chronograph in the OMEGA Olympic Timeless Collection combines white Arabic numerals and red chronograph counter hands on a black dial protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Its distinctive Olympic look is underscored by the rhodium-plated Olympic Rings as the counterweight of the chronograph seconds hand. Its divers’ watch status is underscored by the robust case, the unidirectional rotating stainless-steel bezel, patented OMEGA helium escape valve and water resistance to 300 meters / 1000 feet guaranteed by a screw-in crown with O-ring gasket and decompression ring, screw-in pushers and a screw-in case back. The sporty look of this chronograph, which is enhanced by a tough, water-resistant rubber strap, belies the high-end technology inside. The Seamaster Chronograph of the OMEGA Olympic Timeless Collection uses the exclusive OMEGA calibre 3303 movement. This self-winding OMEGA chronograph movement is a certified chronometer and uses a column-wheel chronograph mechanism – the sign of a truly superior chronograph.

The Ladies’ Speedmaster uses a reduced case size and retains the classic tachometric scale on the bezel. The hour markers on the mother-of-pearl dial appear in the official colours of the Olympic Games—yellow, blue, black, red, and green—and complement the coloured rings on the counterweight of the central seconds hand. The heart of this distinctive model is the OMEGA calibre 3220 self-winding chronograph calibre; the movement’s high-performance winding system ensures a power reserve of 40 hours.
