OMEGA has an unparalleled history in sports timekeeping. The first company ever appointed Official Timekeeper for all Olympic disciplines,

OMEGA supplied 30 chronographs for use at the 1932 Games held in Los Angeles. OMEGA played a key role in the event's success, and an enduring partnership was established.

Omega in Beijing

The precision chronographs in the Olympic Timeless Collection pay special tribute to the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing and to OMEGA's key contributions to the art and science of sports timekeeping. The watches recall the chronographs used at the 1932 Los Angeles Games when OMEGA was named Official Timekeeper for the first time.

Six of the models in the Collection feature the Arabic numerals and the red OMEGA name and logo found on those early models and share an extraordinarily striking feature: the five interlocking coloured Olympic rings are mounted on the counterweights of the central chronograph seconds hand.

Each chronograph in the Olympic Timeless Collection has the Olympic rings symbol, the OMEGA name and logo and the inscription "Official Timekeeper" stamped on the case back, further reflecting OMEGA's historic connections to the Olympic Games.

The remarkable watches in the Olympic Timeless Collection salute the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing and commemorate OMEGA's peerless record of innovation in watchmaking and sports timekeeping.

The De Ville Co-Axial Chronograph in the OMEGA Olympic Timeless Collection has a sober lacquered white dial, elegantly set off by the vintage red OMEGA symbol and name, black Arabic numerals and rhodium plated facetted hour, minute and small seconds hands, complemented by elegant 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph recorders with blue hands at 3 and 6 o'clock, respectively. The counterweight on the blue central chronograph seconds hand features the five coloured Olympic rings, in reference to OMEGA's role as Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games.

The De Ville Co-Axial collection represents the fine art of watchmaking in all respects.
