Biel/Bienne, January 20, 2026
The Olympic Winter Games are set to begin in just over two weeks, bringing many of the world’s best winter athletes to the venues of northern Italy. As the Official Timekeeper of Milano Cortina 2026, OMEGA is celebrating the moment with the launch of a dedicated Seamaster Diver 300M timepiece.
The overall design of the 43.5 mm watch is inspired by the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem, allowing sports fans to own a genuine tribute to this historic Olympic Winter Games occasion. Each piece is delivered inside a special Milano Cortina 2026 presentation box, adding even more prestige to this exclusive keepsake.
To begin the wintry inspiration, OMEGA has crafted the timepiece in white ceramic and grade 5 titanium – two materials that combine sleek beauty with lightweight strength. These materials are finished in a variety of ways, helping to create contrasting surfaces around the design. This includes the polished-brushed case body, the sandblasted helium escape valve and crown, and the white ceramic bezel ring, which features a laser-ablated diving scale in positive relief.
On the dial, OMEGA has created a unique effect in honour of these Olympic Winter Games. Made in white ceramic, it reveals laser-engraved frosting, with a finger trace pattern inspired by the “26” of the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem. Completing the dial design, the rhodium-plated hands and indexes have been filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the varnished central seconds hand has been given a subtle blue gradient – a colour that is shared with the competition logo.
A final Olympic homage is presented on the grade 5 titanium caseback, where OMEGA has placed a stamped Milano Cortina 2026 emblem, forever associating this watch with the XXV Olympic Winter Games.
Worn on an integrated white rubber strap, with its buckle in grade 5 titanium, this unique Seamaster Diver 300M is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. Featuring a power reserve of 55 hours, and certified at the Swiss industry’s highest standard, it offers a level of precision and performance that any athlete would be proud of.
The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 will be competed between February 6th and 22nd. OMEGA will fulfil the role of Official Timekeeper for the 32nd edition since 1932, bringing its legacy of precision, expertise and innovation to the competition. The Swiss brand will record all of the 116 events across 16 sporting disciplines, ensuring total reliability in the moments that matter.
