The Official Timekeeper of the Olympics<\/h2>\n

At the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles one man equipped with 30 Omega split-second stopwatches did the honors while today the Swiss watchmaker employs all kinds of state-of-the-art technologies, many of which it was the first to develop, including the starting pistol, touchpads for swimming and the latest photofinish camera, which made its Olympic Games debut in Rio and can capture 10,000 digital images per second. Omega watches have great technology<\/a> compared to their stopwatches in the 30’s.<\/p>\n

\"official
Omega was the first to develop the starting pistol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The announcement was made at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, by Nick Hayek, CEO of Omega parent company Swatch Group; Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of Omega; and IOC President Thomas Bach.<\/p>\n

Perfect Timing<\/h2>\n

\u201cOMEGA is the world\u2019s leader in sports timekeeping, and the extension of our agreement through to 2032 means Olympic athletes will continue to be able to rely on Omega\u2019s expertise,\u201d Bach says. \u201c2032 is an important milestone, as it will mark 100 years since the Olympic Movement was first able to count on Omega\u2019s timekeeping solutions.\u201d Timekeeping is, of course, a crucial part of the Olympics, with fractions of seconds sometimes deciding who gets the gold, silver or bronze. Let’s not forget to mention Omega’s homage to the 2018\u00a0Olympics in PyeongChang.<\/p>\n

Replaced<\/h2>\n

In 1948, Omega first replaced human timers with automated ones using photoelectric cell technology at both the winter and summer Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland and London, England. One could argue that the technological advancements since have each taken the process further away from traditional watchmaking. Omega keeps the tradition alive however with the Olympic Official Timekeeper collection, a range of vintage-inspired watches. The Olympic Official Timekeeper Co-Axial Chronographs feature lacquered white dials and blue steel hands, and only 188 units of each watch in the collection are produced. And last but not least the caseback is engraved with the five iconic rings of the Olympic Games, encircled with the words \u201cOfficial Timekeeper of the Olympic Games.\u201d<\/p>\n
