During the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, OMEGA presented the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition, a commemorative timepiece designed to honor the Olympic spirit through material innovation and historical design language. This special edition watch symbolically unites the three Olympic medals—gold, silver, and bronze—by combining a proprietary Bronze Gold case with a finely crafted silver dial.
The 39mm case diameter and slim 11.7mm profile give the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition a refined wrist presence that balances vintage proportions with contemporary comfort. The design draws clear inspiration from OMEGA’s CK 859 watches of the 1930s, known for their understated elegance and legibility. This heritage influence is evident in the clean case lines, restrained dial layout, and classic small seconds configuration.
The case is crafted from OMEGA’s exclusive Bronze Gold alloy, composed of 37.5% gold, silver, palladium, and additional noble metals. Unlike traditional bronze, this alloy offers exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term color stability, ensuring the watch maintains its warm, noble tone over time. Bronze Gold represents a deliberate fusion of durability and luxury, reinforcing the symbolic role of bronze within the Olympic medal hierarchy.
The dial of the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition is crafted from 925 silver, directly referencing the Olympic silver medal. At its center, a Paris hobnail texture creates subtle depth, while the outer minute track features a circular brushed finish that enhances light reflection. This interplay of textures elevates the dial without compromising clarity.
Sedna™ 18K gold hands, treated with a Bronze Gold PVD coating, glide across the dial with elegance. The applied OMEGA logo, Arabic numerals, and hour markers are rendered in a dark gray tone inspired by vintage pocket watches, reinforcing the historical character of the watch. A small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock completes the balanced and symmetrical layout.
Powering the watch is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8926, a manual-winding movement certified by METAS. Operating at 25,200 vibrations per hour, the movement delivers a robust 72-hour power reserve via twin barrels. The free-sprung balance with silicon balance spring, combined with the Co-Axial escapement, ensures precision, long-term stability, and resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.
The caseback of the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition is engraved with the reference BG859 and features a raised Paris 2024 Olympic emblem at its center, reinforcing the watch’s commemorative nature and collectability.
The watch is fitted with a brown calfskin leather strap secured by a pin buckle, complementing the warm tones of the Bronze Gold case. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, suitable for daily wear.
Priced at €13,200, the OMEGA Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition stands as a refined tribute to Olympic heritage, material innovation, and classical watchmaking values.
