The Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games
In 1988, the Olympic Games arrived in Seoul, where the best athletes performed on the world’s greatest stage. 30 years later, the event is back in South Korea once again. This time, it’s the Olympic Winter Games where the sports are different, and the athletes have changed. But thanks to an ongoing history of excellence, the Official Timekeeper remains very much the same.
OMEGA first served as Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Winter Games in 1936, when the event was held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. For that occasion, a single technician was sent with just 27 OMEGA stopwatches used to time every second. Over the past 82 years since then, OMEGA has continued to develop its technology and hone its expertise and, today, the brand has an unrivalled reputation in timekeeping.
