Omega Replica rich history also includes having been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games several times, a role it has held since 1932 and which will see it once again taking the times for the next Paris 2024 Olympics.
For this occasion, new Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris in the colors of the Games have just been revealed, marking that there are exactly 100 days left until the start of the 2024 Olympics.
There are two models with a 43mm case: the first is a Speedmaster Chronoscope with stainless steel case and black anodized aluminum bezel, the other has a black but ceramic bezel and is entirely dressed in 18K MoonshineTM gold – the gold alloy yellow created by Omega known for its delicate and long-lasting luminosity.
Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope: The Essence of Time
First of all Chronoscope is the fusion of two Greek words “Chronos” (time) and “Scope” (observe). The collection was presented for the first time in Milan in September 2021.
It is a line whose aim is to represent a tribute to the past and a bridge to the future.
Forty-three millimeters of pure elegance. Polished and satin steel, or the innovative Bronze Gold alloy. Dials ranging from silver to blue, from black to patinated brown. A range of possibilities, for every taste and occasion.
But the real heart of the Chronoscope lies in its scales. Tachymetric, telemetric, pulsometer. Tools of the past, when the chronograph was more than just a watch. Measure speed, distance, heart rate. Functionality that transcends aesthetics.
The Chronoscope embodies the essence of the Speedmaster while allowing itself to be influenced by that vintage look that echoes the chronographs of the 30s and 40s. But animated by a modern soul, thanks to the Omega caliber 9908. Coaxial escapement, Master Chronometer certification, antimagnetic up to 15,000 Gauss.
