In a fitting tribute to the pinnacle of athletic achievement, Omega unveils the Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition, a watch that harmoniously blends gold, silver, and bronze – the iconic medals of the Olympic Games. As the Official Timekeeper for Paris 2024, Omega has crafted this extraordinary timepiece, embodying the spirit of the games.
The Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition features a 39mm case made from Omega’s exclusive Bronze Gold, a unique alloy renowned for its soft pink hue and resistance to corrosion without verdigris-oxidation. This material is enriched with noble elements such as 37.5% gold, palladium, and silver, hallmarked as 9K. Complementing this is a radiant dial made from Ag 925 silver and slender hands in 18K Sedna™ Gold, enhanced with a special PVD Bronze Gold coating.
This design pays homage to Omega’s storied involvement in global sports, underscoring its role as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932. The Swiss watchmaker will mark its 31st timekeeping at the Olympics this summer in Paris. Additionally, Omega has been the Official Timekeeper of the Paralympic Games since 1992, extending its legacy in precision timekeeping.
Drawing inspiration from a classic 1939 Omega wristwatch, the Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition echoes the brand’s early years in timekeeping. The vintage design houses the celebrated 30T manual-winding small seconds calibre, initially referenced as “CK 859” in Omega’s technical archives. The current edition continues this tradition with the engraving “BG 859” on the caseback, symbolising the case shape in Bronze Gold.
Aesthetic details of the watch further reflect its homage to French craftsmanship. The “Clous de Paris” pattern at the centre of the dial is a hallmark of meticulous and elegant decoration. Additional refinement is seen in the circular brushed pattern on the minute track and small seconds subdial track at 6 o’clock. The dark grey Omega logo is presented in the brand’s heritage style, enhancing the watch’s vintage appeal. The caseback is adorned with a stamped and frosted Olympic Games Paris 2024 medallion, adding a commemorative touch.
The Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition is paired with a brown calf-skin leather strap, secured with a sandblasted Bronze Gold buckle featuring a polished vintage Omega logo in positive relief. This vintage logo is also embossed on the watch’s crown, completing the classic aesthetic.
Ensuring the highest standard of precision and performance, the timepiece is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8926, a manual-winding movement that pays modern tribute to the vintage 30T2 movement. Each watch comes with a certification card verifying it has passed the stringent Master Chronometer tests set by METAS, the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology, ensuring its exceptional quality.
The Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition is not merely a watch; it is a celebration of Omega’s deep-rooted history in sports timekeeping and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Olympic Games.
