Unable to travel to Tokyo to cheer on the champions, the OG official timekeeper proposes a collection that flies high in the colors of the host country. It is a special souvenir of the event for a series of special reasons…
July 24, 2020. With the stadiums packed with spectators from all over the world, the Olympic sports events in the Japanese capital kicked off. Well, no, actually, because this situation is purely anachronistic, as COVID-19 has upended life and agendas. However, a true “timepiece” like the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Tokyo 2020 Limited Edition reminds us of the original data of these games. In short, the series is launched in a total of 2,020 pieces, with the event logo and year printed on the sapphire crystal caseback. This specificity, as well as the unique style, make this piece of Omega’s imagination extremely attractive to collectors.
The steel case with a diameter of 39.5 mm is topped with a ceramic bezel. This set protects the dial, also made of ceramic. Both of these elements stand out with their incredible pure white hue. To set off this immaculate decoration and as the tip of the cap of the Japanese flag, a red dash is added to the tip of the central “lollipop” hand that drives the seconds hand and the 20-ticker diving scale in liquid metal. To ensure perfect harmony, this diver is worn on an equally pristine white strap. However, two other straps are proposed in the box, one in steel and the other in NATO.
Like other equivalent models in the series, the Seamaster Ocean 600M Tokyo 2020 Limited Edition Time Data is driven by the Master Chronometer 8800 movement, which is resistant to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. This automatic movement offers a power reserve of 55 hours.
