OMEGA Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counters Chronograph
[ via Omega ]
Omega was the first Official Timekeeper of the Olympics, starting in 1932. The XXIX Beijing Olympic Games mark the 23rd time Omega has been the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games, more than any other company.
To celebrate their Olympic partnership Omega introduced the world's first mechanical watch with 5-counters on the dial, and fittingly arranged the five counters to form the Olympic rings. The Limited Edition Speedmaster 5-Counters Chronographs have 5 subdials, each with their specific function:
- small seconds counter
- 7-day chronograph recorder
- day indicator
- 12-hour chronograph recorder
- 30-minute chronograph recorder
Each chronograph has the Olympic rings symbol, the Omega name and logo and the inscription "Official Timekeeper" stamped on the case back. A box-form, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides was used for the dial. The exclusive Calibre 3888 movement with Omega's Co-Axial Escapement was used to assure extreme accuracy and reliability. Every watch has been individually tested, and chronometer certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).
