Swiss luxury watchmaker OMEGA will be the Official Timekeeper of the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will run from February 6-22 in the cities of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo (Milano Cortina 2026) in northern Italy, making it the 32nd time since 1932 that the watch brand has been given that responsibility and it is celebrating the Games with the launch of a dedicated Seamaster Diver 300M timepiece.
The overall design of the 43.5mm watch is inspired by the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem, allowing sports fans to own a genuine tribute to this historic Olympic Winter Games occasion. Each piece is delivered inside a special Milano Cortina 2026 presentation box, adding even more prestige to this exclusive keepsake.
To begin the wintry inspiration, OMEGA has crafted the timepiece in white ceramic and grade five titanium – two materials that combine sleek beauty with lightweight strength. These materials are finished in a variety of ways, helping to create contrasting surfaces around the design. This includes the polished-brushed case body, the sandblasted helium escape valve and crown, and the white ceramic bezel ring, which features a laser-ablated diving scale in positive relief.
On the dial, OMEGA has created a unique effect in honour of these Olympic Winter Games. Made in white ceramic, it reveals laser-engraved frosting, with a finger trace pattern inspired by the ‘26’ of the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem. Completing the dial design, the rhodium-plated hands and indexes have been filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the varnished central seconds hand has been given a subtle blue gradient – a colour that is shared with the competition logo.
A final Olympic homage is presented on the grade five titanium caseback, where OMEGA has placed a stamped Milano Cortina 2026 emblem, forever associating this watch with the XXV Olympic Winter Games.
Worn on an integrated white rubber strap, with its buckle in grade five titanium, this unique Seamaster Diver 300M is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. Featuring a power reserve of 55 hours, and certified at the Swiss industry’s highest standard, it offers a level of precision and performance that any athlete would be proud of.
OMEGA will fulfil the role of Official Timekeeper for the 32nd time since 1932, bringing its legacy of precision, expertise and innovation to the competition. The Swiss brand will record all of the 116 events across 16 sporting disciplines, ensuring total reliability in the moments that matter.
