When Omega assumes its role as Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Winter Games for the thirty-second time since 1932, it will do so with a legacy unmatched in sports timekeeping. To commemorate the Milano Cortina 2026 games opening on February 6th, the Swiss manufacture has unveiled a distinctive interpretation of its legendary Seamaster Diver 300M in a 43.5 mm timepiece that translates the visual identity of these 25th Olympic Winter Games into a compelling collector's piece.
Things to Know About the Watch
The watch's material composition immediately signals its Olympic Winter Games inspiration. Omega has executed the case in white ceramic and grade 5 titanium, creating a winter-appropriate aesthetic while delivering the lightweight strength these materials are celebrated for. The polished-brushed case body contrasts elegantly with the sandblasted helium escape valve and crown, while the white ceramic bezel ring features a laser-ablated diving scale rendered in positive relief—a technical detail that demonstrates Omega's mastery of ceramic fabrication.
The dial represents the most distinctive element of this limited production. Crafted in white ceramic, it reveals laser-engraved frosting with a finger trace pattern directly inspired by the "26" within the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem. This textural effect creates depth and movement across the dial surface, while rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova ensure legibility remains uncompromised. The varnished central seconds hand features a subtle blue gradient—a thoughtful reference to the competition logo that introduces the only color accent across the otherwise monochromatic design.
The Movement & Case Back
Inside the titanium case back, where a stamped Milano Cortina 2026 emblem permanently associates this reference with the games, beats the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. This automatic movement delivers 55 hours of power reserve while meeting the METAS Swiss industry's highest chronometric certification standards—a level of precision entirely appropriate for an Olympic timepiece. The automatic movement's antimagnetic properties and accuracy specifications reflect the performance expectations collectors have come to associate with Omega's Master Chronometer designation.
The grade 5 titanium case back employs Omega’s patented NAIAD Lock system—this time engraved and filled in black on the case back—, a bayonet-style fitting that ensures the stamped Milano Cortina 2026 emblem aligns perfectly in its intended orientation. Beyond the aesthetic consideration of proper engraving alignment, this self-centering mechanism enhances water resistance by creating a precise seal while preventing the cross-threading that can occur with traditional screw-down casebacks. The system represents the kind of engineering refinement that distinguishes modern Omega construction, where even seemingly minor details receive thoughtful technical solutions.
Summary & Price
The integrated white rubber strap, secured by a grade 5 titanium buckle, completes the package, which arrives in a special Milano Cortina 2026 presentation box.
