Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Paris 2024 Co-Axial Master Chronometer white dial steel bracelet 42 mm

Omega and the Olympic Games

Since 1932, Omega has been the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games on 30 occasions. This collaboration has proved fruitful for the manufacture, which has since retained this title with only rare exceptions!

The brand thus has the honor of timing events at the Paralympic and Youth Olympic Games. When this partnership began, at the Los Angeles 1932 Olympic Games, only one Swiss watchmaker showed up with 30 split-seconds chronographs. Today, an entire team of professional timekeepers travels with 450 tons of equipment. But the objective remains the same: to provide the world's best athletes with impeccable timekeeping.

Omega offers limited editions at each Olympiad, based on the brand's various models: Aqua Terra, Speedmaster, Seamaster and Seamaster Planet Ocean are often the models selected for these very special editions. They are all highly coveted by collectors and fans of the Manufacture. And this Paris 2024 edition is no exception! Indeed, for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, OMEGA will have the privilege of being the Official Timekeeper for the 31st time since 1932. To celebrate this historic event, the Biel-based Manufacture is presenting a Seamaster Diver 300M with the color of victory, gold.

"Launched in 1993, the Seamaster Diver 300M is one of OMEGA's sportiest watches."

1993 is undoubtedly one of Omega's most significant and important dates: the launch of the very first Seamaster Diver 300M on the market! The launch marked Omega's triumphant return to diving watches, and proved that the brand's ingenuity was more alive than ever. Positioned at the time as a refined, luxurious diver's watch, it broke with the design language of the Seamaster 300 and 600 of previous decades, showing a revolution of sorts. Indeed, the changes and developments of the 1990s inspired new designs and propelled the brand into the spotlight. The chronograph version was even named Watch of the Year in 1994! The launch of the Seamaster Diver 300M also coincided with the brand's new marketing strategy in the 1990s, aimed at breaking records and becoming a true icon, bringing Omega into the modern era with a vision full of fervor. As soon as it was launched, it accompanied Frenchman Roland Specker to a depth of 80 meters, setting the world record for freshwater free diving. In 1995, it marked a close relationship with the world of sailing when Sir Peter Blake, along with several sailors from the New Zealand team, wore the diver during their unforgettable victory in the America's Cup. But it was the film GoldenEye that really propelled this watch to iconic status! For the first time, James Bond wears a Diver 300M on his wrist!
