OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris 2024 Steel 43MM Watch

In 2024, Paris, France has the honour of hosting the Olympic Games, and OMEGA will stand as the Official Timekeeper, capturing every thrilling moment. To celebrate this momentous occasion, OMEGA has unveiled a special edition Speedmaster Chronoscope model, paying homage to this historic sporting event. Influenced by the brand's rich history of chronograph design, the Speedmaster Chronoscope draws inspiration from OMEGA's iconic chronograph wristwatches of the 1940s. With a return to its vintage roots, this watch captures the essence of classic design while incorporating modern innovations. The 43mm satin-brushed stainless-steel case houses the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908, featuring two counters and ensuring precise timekeeping. It is paired with a matching stainless-steel three link bracelet, adding a touch of sporty elegance to the timepiece. Crafted from polished and brushed steel, the mid-sized case maintains a pristine appearance, while the ultra-modern white opaline dial features vibrant black and gold accents. The dial showcases numeral indexes, sophisticated leaf-shaped hands, and a spiral track pattern reminiscent of the spiralling sub-dials found on classic Speedmaster models. A distinctive feature of this collection is the inclusion of three different chronograph scales, each printed in a 1940s "snail" design. These scales include a Tachymeter scale for measuring speed or distance, a Pulsometer scale for measuring pulse rate, and a Telemeter scale for measuring distance from audible or visible events, such as storms. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass cover with anti-reflective treatment on both sides, the dial is both durable and easy to read. The bezel ring, made of polished black anodized aluminium, features a steel tachymeter scale for measuring speed. Finally, the commemorative stainless-steel case back features a stamped medallion with a mirror-polished and frosted Paris 2024 logo, along with the stamped words, "Paris 2024" and the Olympic Rings, which are mirror-polished on a frosted structure. Powering this incredible timepiece is the manual-winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908, certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) for precision, performance, and magnetic resistance. With a power reserve of 60 hours and a water resistance of 50 meters, this wristwatch is suitable for everyday wear. Presented in stunning OMEGA branded packaging, this watch is ideal for gifting and maintaining in mint condition. The collection offers several models in stainless steel, each with unique colour combinations and styles, ranging from sporty models on perforated straps to classic models on vintage brown leather, ensuring there's a perfect match for every wardrobe.
