With the highly anticipated Olympic ceremony in Paris just days away, the global audience is eagerly awaiting the spectacle. This year, the Australian team stands out with a blend of new and longstanding partnerships. Among the new entrants, July is making its debut by outfitting the team with a retro-inspired case reminiscent of the uniforms worn during the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Alongside, established brands like Sportscraft continue their decade-long tradition of dressing the team in teal linen blazers featuring the Australian Olympians’ oath sewn into the lining.

Omega, a stalwart in the Olympic Games since 1932 as the official timekeeper, returns with significant contributions. While traditionally responsible for measuring athletic feats and determining winners, Omega this year unveils a timepiece that celebrates champions: The Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition.

This special timepiece pays homage to the coveted medals awarded to victors, integrating all three medal materials – gold, silver, and bronze – into its design. The 39mm case is crafted from Omega’s exclusive Bronze Gold, complemented by a radiant dial made from Ag 925 silver. Enhancing its elegance are slender hands in 18K Sedna™ Gold, adorned with a special PVD Bronze Gold coating.

The vintage design draws inspiration from a classic wristwatch from 1939, underscoring Omega’s commitment to timeless elegance and precision in timekeeping. This historical timepiece originally housed Omega’s celebrated 30T manual-winding small seconds calibre. Notably, it was identified by the reference “CK 859” in its technical specifications, detailing the materials used and the distinctive shape of its case.

The Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition 39 MM is available online and in Omega Boutiques. $19,875.00, omegawatches.com.
