At first sight, this Limited Edition Co-Axial Chronograph gives you an instant feeling of sporting excellence and victory. With only 188 units available, it is the perfect celebration of OMEGA's historical role as the official Olympic Timekeeper.

For this model, the stylish 18K white gold case features a brushed crown embossed with a polished vintage OMEGA symbol. On the lacquered white dial, another vintage OMEGA symbol appears in red, and there are two subdials at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock all capturing the time with blue steel hands.

The classic look is continued with a black leather strap featuring fixed 18K white gold T-bars, and on the back, the case is given a special Olympic engraving and limited edition number.

Behind the dial, this timepiece is powered by OMEGA's exclusive calibre 3203, completing a marathon in watchmaking greatness.

White Gold

Gold in its pure form (24K) is slightly reddish yellow and very soft. It is usually alloyed with other base metals for a diverse variety of uses. Considered to be the premium standard in watch and jewellery making, 18K gold(with at least 75% pure gold) provides the ultimate balance between purity and usefulness. Traditional 18K white gold is alloyed with palladium-copper and offers an excellent resistance to corrosion, while being highly bio-chemically inert. It provides a beautiful hue that suits wearers even with sensitive skin.

Sapphire Crystal

To really appreciate the finer details of a timepiece, OMEGA uses synthetic sapphire crystal with a highly scratch-resistant and anti-reflective treatment. Before the machining and finishing processes take place, the sapphire crystals are produced under the Verneuil process, also called flame fusion. It involves the melting of the raw substance using oxyhydrogen flame and the crystallisation of the melted droplets to form a cylinder. Graded 9 on the Mohs-hardness scale (graded 1-10), the resulting sapphire crystals are virtually scratch-proof and very hard, ensuring an unhindered vision at all times.

The advantages
of this watch

At the heart of this timepiece is the Co-Axial escapement, a revolution in watchmaking when first introduced. The reduced stress on the moving parts means less need for lubrication, longer-lasting accuracy and a more stable power reserve rate. In short, this timepiece performs better for longer.
