Available in stainless steel and 18k Moonshine gold, Omega’s Speedmaster Chronoscope chronographs pay homage to the colors of the world’s premier sporting event.

Both models share a 43mm case and a silver-white opaline dial punctuated with blackened sub-dials. The dial evokes a “snail” design from the 1940s, with a trio of dark gray measurement scales including a tachymeter, pulsometer, and telemeter.

A black bezel – aluminum for the steel version and ceramic for the Moonshine Gold version – features a tachymeter scale. The Arabic numeral hour markers and leaf-shaped hands are treated with PVD Moonshine Gold, adding a radiant touch that accentuates the “snail” dial.

To commemorate the event, the caseback is stamped with a medallion that includes the lettering “PARIS 2024” alongside the Olympic rings.

Precision in all areas

Inside, the high-precision, in-house Calibre 9909 beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. It is a manually wound chronograph equipped with a Co-Axial escapement and column wheel, and also has METAS Master Chronometer certification.
