Omega Teases 2 New Limited-Edition Seamasters for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics

The brand has served as official timekeeper of the games since 1932-and is set to return for the 29th time next summer in Tokyo, home to the 2020 Olympics The Seamaster Aqua Terra is equipped with the collection's first ceramic dial, whose blue polished face is laser-engraved with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem "For the Seamaster Aqua Terra model, we were influenced by the captivating emblem of the event," an Omega representative tells Robb Report.

"The checkered design used for these Olympic Games is in the traditional Japanese colors of indigo and blue and was created to express a refined elegance and sophistication Omega matched the same style of the emblem for its blue dial and also used the emblem on the caseback." The 39.5 mm stainless steel Seamaster Planet Ocean model features a more explicit, though still subtle, connection to the 2020 Olympics' host nation: On the white ceramic bezel ring, a diving scale features the number 20 filled with red liquid ceramic "For the Planet Ocean model, Omega wanted to pay tribute to the dynamic host country of Japan," says the rep.

Also limited to 2,020 models and completed with a sapphire crystal caseback boasting a transferred Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem, the Planet Ocean edition is powered by the Master Chronometer Calibre 8800. . Source
