Planet Omega
As sport evolves, the world’s best athletes continue to push the limits of speed, strength and endurance. They are faster and stronger than ever before, and rely on indisputable timekeeping to measure, display and distribute their results. This is where OMEGA plays a vital role.
Just like today’s athletes, OMEGA aspires to the very best performance. These timepieces are built with quality in mind, and a sporty aesthetic that will match your most active days.
Whatever your game, the Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” is built for ultimate performance. As the name suggests, it delivers sporting comfort, with an innovative, lightweight design that won’t get in your way.
“OMEGA’s timekeeping leaves no result in doubt, thanks to the unquestionable quality of today’s modern equipment.”
Official Timekeeper
Since the Diamond League was founded in 2010, OMEGA has proudly taken the role of Official Timekeeper at each of its annual track and field meetings in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. Throughout this time, OMEGA has served many of the world's most talented athletes during their finest moments.
From sensational sprinters to high flyers, OMEGA’s line-up of track and field athletes is an absolute dream team. A diverse group of exceptionally talented sports stars from different corners of the globe, united under the OMEGA banner.
Precision on the Track
Modern timekeeping is critical to the success of every sporting outcome. With competitors now separated by mere split seconds, it takes incredibly accurate and reliable equipment to determine the fractional differences between each athlete. Without the extreme dedication of timekeepers, sports as we know it would be impossible.
Our starting blocks feature built-in sensors, a key component in false start detection. Each set has a loudspeaker linked to the start pistol, so all contestants hear the start signal at precisely the same time.
In 2010, the old-fashioned starting pistol was replaced by a streamlined, futuristic device composed of a flash gun and a sound generation box. We now use this electronic start system at all athletics events.
Our Scan’O’Vision MYRIA photofinish camera is a combination of a time detector and a chronograph. Images are produced using a high-tech image-capture device that records up to 10,000 digital images per second!
The scoreboards along the race course and at the finish line are operated by software enabling them to display text, pictures animations and videos. Their high resolution benefits live spectators and home viewers.
