Features
We will introduce the four important features unique to this limited edition model in order.
①Design colored in "Paris 2024" colors

The newly released Chronoscope series features the Paris 2024 Olympic colors of "gold," "white," and "black," making it a fitting design for this collaboration.
The silver-white dial features a tachymeter, pulsometer, and telemeter scales printed in a dark grey snail design, allowing for various measurements. The black subdials are well-balanced, and the hands and Arabic numerals are made of 18K Moonshine™ gold, giving the watch a luxurious and sophisticated design. In addition to its cool appearance, it is also highly functional, making it a model truly worthy of Olympic specifications.

The bezel also differs depending on the case material, with the 18K Moonshine™ gold material using a ceramic bezel to create a vintage feel. It reminds me of the specifications of the Rolex hand-wound Daytona. The SS (stainless steel) material uses an aluminum bezel, which is a clear differentiation.
② “Paris 2024” case back

As always with Olympic commemorative models, the case back is engraved with the "Paris 2024" emblem and the Olympic rings, a feature that can only be enjoyed on a commemorative model.
3) "Paris 2024" special edition box

This special edition white box is also becoming a standard. This time, it is decorated with the same Paris 2024 decoration as the OMEGA countdown clock installed at the Port of Bordenay in Paris. The commemorative model is a special edition that includes not only the watch but also the accessories, and is made with care to be preserved for many years to come.
④Calf leather strap

The anniversary models are available with calf leather straps. The 18K Moonshine™ gold strap features vintage-style calf leather, and the combination with the ceramic bezel mentioned above creates a modern model with a vintage feel, a design that will appeal to men.

The stainless steel case is made of punched calf leather, which creates a perfect blend of sportiness and casualness. I'm impressed by the delicacy of OMEGA, which changes the design of the leather strap depending on the case material.
summary
What did you think.
It's typical of Omega to announce this watch less than 100 days before the Paris 2024 Olympics. The design is also very attractive, and I think it's a simply cool model. I personally like the design very much, and it's been ranked high among the new models announced in 2024 that I want to see in person! (laughs) If you've managed to buy one, please come and show it off!
This world-famous sports festival is sure to show us a variety of exciting events! I can't wait. Let's all cheer on the Japanese team with all our might, hoping that they will win many medals!
Once again , I hope that by reading this column, even one more person will become interested in luxury watches!
see you!
