Within the realm of haute horlogerie, few timepieces have managed to capture the essence of sporting excellence as eloquently as the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition. As the Official Timekeeper of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, OMEGA has unveiled a special watch that embodies the coveted prizes awarded to athletes who push the boundaries of human achievement.
The OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition seamlessly integrates the trio of iconic materials – Bronze Gold, silver, and gold – into a single, captivating design. The 39mm case, crafted from OMEGA’s exclusive Bronze Gold alloy, boasts a distinctive soft pink hue and unparalleled corrosion resistance. This remarkable material, enriched with noble elements such as 37.5% gold, palladium, and silver, is hallmarked as 9K and has become synonymous with OMEGA’s commitment to innovation.
The watch’s radiant dial, made from Ag 925 silver, provides a stunning backdrop for the slender hands in 18K Sedna Gold, which feature a special PVD Bronze Gold coating. This harmonious blend of materials is a testament to OMEGA’s dedication to crafting timepieces that not only keep precise time but also exude a sense of style and sophistication. The “Clous de Paris” pattern at the center of the dial adds a touch of French craftsmanship, while the circular brushed pattern on the minute track and small seconds subdial track at 6 o’clock pays homage to the brand’s rich heritage.
On the caseback, the “BG 859” engraving serves as a subtle nod to the watch’s Bronze Gold case shape, while the stamped and frosted Olympic Games Paris 2024 medallion adds a touch of elegance. The brown calf-skin leather strap, complete with a sandblasted Bronze Gold buckle and polished vintage OMEGA logo, ensures a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist.
Beneath the surface, the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8926 drives the timepiece with precision and reliability. This manual-winding movement is a modern tribute to the vintage 30T2 movement used in the past and has been certified by METAS, the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. A certification card, proving that each customer’s watch has passed the Master Chronometer tests, is included within the special presentation box that houses the timepiece.
With the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition, the Swiss watchmaker has once again demonstrated its ability to create timepieces that not only honor the spirit of sporting achievement but also elevate the art of timekeeping to new heights. As the Official Timekeeper of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, OMEGA has set a new standard for excellence in watchmaking, and this extraordinary timepiece is a fitting tribute to the world’s greatest athletes.
