Celebrating the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games is the Seamaster Diver 300M watch, one of the models made by Omega, Official Timekeeper of the event, for this occasion. The steel case and bracelet are matched by the blue ceramic of the bezel ring with an enamel graduated scale and the white ceramic of the dial with an engraved wave motif. The Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8800 calibre can be admired through the sapphire crystal on the back, with the logo of these Olympics applied. Wearing the watch is Olympic great Michael Phelps, who also sported it on his wrist during his participation in the Omega Showcasing that he visited these days as a fan and not as a competitor. He also hoped to inspire the athletes with his presence: "It will be strange, but I am very excited about what is going to happen and I hope that my presence will inspire the Tokyo 2020 athletes to give their best. A certainty, given that he has a palmares of 28 medals, 23 of which are gold. And about the Biel-based company's timekeeping activity, he said: 'Winning by a hundredth of a second is incredible. Omega had the technology to prove it and I am very grateful to them, because otherwise it would have been impossible to judge with the naked eye. It is interesting to see what direction timekeeping is going in. The changes in open water, in water polo, in climbing. Omega really engages the spectator in the experience.
Also at Tokyo 2020, four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy wore the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 'Ultra Light'. Ergonomically designed, made from a durable yet lightweight alloy called Gamma Titanium, it features a telescopic crown that can be hidden inside the case when not in use. The grade 5 titanium dial is sandblasted, embellished with the iconic Aqua Terra stripes and weighs only 55 grams when worn with a sports strap. The one chosen by McIlroy is a specially designed Nato model printed with his daughter's name and birthday. The watch is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8928 Ti calibre, the brand's first movement made of titanium.
