Omega Opens 2026 With an Olympic Icon and a Graphic Moonwatch

Apart from the major coup that the brand scored at the Golden Globes (with most of the stars wearing the brand on their wrists), Omega opens the year with two timepieces that capture the full breadth of its identity. One looks to the Olympic Winter Games, the other to the Moon, yet both express the same pursuit of precision and permanence. Together, they frame a brand equally fluent in sport timing and spacefaring legend.

An Olympic Games Timepiece: Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026

If Omega’s long history as Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games has proven anything, it is the brand’s ability to translate defining sporting moments into objects of permanence. With the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 approaching, Omega introduces a dedicated Seamaster Diver 300M created as a tribute to the occasion.

The 43.5 mm watch takes its design cues from the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem and is delivered in a special presentation box, positioning it as both keepsake and collectible. The case is crafted in white ceramic and grade 5 titanium, pairing sleek aesthetics with a lightweight profile. Omega applies contrasting finishes across the watch, including a polished-brushed case body, sandblasted helium escape valve and crown, and a white ceramic bezel ring with a laser-ablated diving scale in positive relief.

The white ceramic dial features laser-engraved frosting and a finger-trace pattern inspired by the “26” of the Milano Cortina emblem. Rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova ensure clarity, while a varnished central seconds hand carries a subtle blue gradient that echoes the competition logo.

A stamped Milano Cortina 2026 emblem on the grade 5 titanium caseback permanently links the watch to the XXV Olympic Winter Games. Worn on an integrated white rubber strap, the Seamaster is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 with a 55-hour power reserve and certification at the Swiss industry’s highest standard.

The result is a professional dive watchDive WatchA water-resistant timepiece built for underwater use, typically featuring a rotating bezel, luminous markers, and a case, rated to at least 100 meters.

Graphic Contrast: Speedmaster Moonwatch in Black and White

Omega’s second major 2026 launch revisits one of watchmaking’s most storied silhouettes with a bold visual twist.

Both watches use the Moonwatch’s signature step dial assembled with a double-plate construction. The top plate is polished black with a varnished and lacquered finish and rhodium-plated subdial frames, while the base layer for the subdials is produced in white. Minute tracks appear in white on the main dial and in black on the subdials, reinforcing contrast and legibility.

The monochrome dials are paired with black ceramic bezel rings featuring white enamel tachymeter scales, along with box-form sapphire crystals treated with anti-reflective coating. Around the wrist, polished-brushed bracelets in classic Moonwatch style include Omega’s patented comfort-release adjustment system.
