Since 1932, Omega has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games. Last year, to begin its countdown to the 2024 event in Paris, the watchmaker made a commemorative gold Seamaster 300m with a white dial. This week, it follows that up with a pair of Speedmaster Chronoscope chronograph models that mark the 100-day countdown to the Games this summer, each with designs that are very Olympic-y.
Highlighting the pair is a version of the Chronoscope made from 18k Moonshine Gold — the first ever Chronoscope using the material. Moonshine Gold is Omega’s proprietary yellow gold material used for its hugely popular Mission to Moonshine collection. Available with either a matching Moonshine bracelet or a vintage-looking black leather strap, this Chronoscope features a white opaline dial with two black subdials and a black ceramic bezel for contrast. Still featuring the Moonshine-coated hands and numerals, the second Speedmaster being offered is similar to the Moonshine edition except the case material is replaced with stainless steel, although the dial color and layout are retained. It’s also important to note that the black bezel is now aluminum instead of ceramic and the leather strap now has a perforated racing-style design.
Falling in line with the standard production Speedmaster Chronoscope, both watches have the appropriate specs, including the 43mm case diameter, tachymeter bezel, and pulsometer and telemeter scales on the dial. They’re also powered by the same in-house METAS-certified Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 9908 / 9909 movement from Omega, but this time the movement is not visible through an exposed caseback. Instead, you get a closed back with an embossed logo for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Ranging in price from $9,500 to $51,400, the 100-day Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris 2024 Olympics watches are available from Omega’s boutiques. Head over to the brand’s website to learn more.
