To celebrate
the Sochi sports event, Omega Olympic Collection watches are launched to show respect
for Sochi
2014 Olympic Winter Games. Omega went to Russian Federation in February of 2014
in order to provide designated chronograph service for Sochi 2014 Olympic
Winter Games and Paralympic Winter Games, which was Omega’s 26th service for Olympic
Winter Games. Besides, the Omega expected that the Olympic Winter Games could fully
inherit the tradition and culture to show the spirit of modern Russia.

The special Omega Olympic Collection watches adopt matte black dial, and the hour
markers are shown with stripes and Arabic numerals of 6, 9 and 12 o’clock,
which are covered with white luminous coating so that they can shine blue light
to make reading clear and legible in the dark environment as well as rhodanizing
hour and second hands. However, the minute hand and dot at 12 o’clock of the
bezel shine green light, which makes the reading easy when diving. Classically,
the watches are equipped with central hour, minute and second hand, and
the position of 3 o’clock is set with a date window, so they are practical.

The
watches are made of stainless steel case with 45.5 mm in diameter that is
frosted and polished, and they are matched with bracelet with the same
material. Moreover, the watches adopt matte black ceramic bezels that
can be rotated unidirectionally, which are carved with chromium
nitride diving scales. Especially, on the bezel, there is a dot at 12 o’clock, bright blue-painted scales from one to five minute and
bright red-painted scales from six to ten minute, and the design inspiration is
from the national flag’s colors of Russian Federation. According to the
design of Seamaster 600 meters watches, scales from eleven to fifteen minute
are shown with bright silver painting on the bezel.
Uniquely,
the case backs of top Omega watches are engraved
with Olympic emblem of “Sochi 2014”, letters of “Si14” and limited edition
number of 0000/2014, which make them valuable and meaningful.
