Official Timekeeper OMEGA has unveiled a special Speedmaster timepiece to mark 100 days to the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 – Check it out below.
At Milano Cortina, OMEGA will be timing all of the 116 events across 8 sports, including ski mountaineering for the very first time.
The details of the special Speedmaster honour the Winter games with blue and white detailing and features which honour different elements synonymous with the games.
A 38 mm case in fully polished stainless steel is mounted with a blue ceramic bezel ring that features a tachymeter scale in white enamel.
To give the design a “unique winter infusion”, the white varnished dial is overlaid with a light blue frosting.
A finger trace runs through the frosting, creating a pattern inspired by the “2” of the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem.
The watch’s subdials are also varnished and finished with a special azurage technique that resembles a groomed ski slope.
Additional details of interest include the central seconds hand, with a subtle blue gradient, as well as the dark blue Milano Cortina 2026 typography that appears on the date display at 6 o’clock.
The timepiece also includes the self-winding Co-Axial Calibre 3330, which offers 52 hours of power reserve.
On the caseback, OMEGA has added a stamped Milano Cortina 2026 medallion, forever associating this timepiece with the historic sporting occasion.
The bracelet is polished and brushed stainless steel with OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system.
OMEGA has been delivering timekeeping to the Olympic Games since 1932 with the brand’s first experience of winter events taking place at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1936.
