OMEGA has announced a new special edition timepiece, the OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026, to mark its role as Official Timekeeper for the upcoming Olympic Winter Games. The watch celebrates the event, which runs from 6-22 February 2026, with a design inspired by the competition's emblem and a crisp, wintry aesthetic.

Design and details

The watch features a 43.5mm case made from white ceramic and grade 5 titanium, chosen for their lightweight strength and clean look. The case body is polished and brushed, while the helium escape valve and crown are sandblasted for a subtle contrast. A white ceramic bezel ring includes a laser-ablated diving scale in positive relief, a signature of modern Seamaster models.

The dial is the standout feature. It's also crafted from white ceramic and has a laser-engraved frosted pattern inspired by the '26' from the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem. Rhodium-plated hands and indexes are filled with white Super-LumiNova for visibility, and the central seconds hand has a subtle blue gradient, matching the event's logo.

A champion's movement

Inside, the Seamaster is powered by OMEGA's Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. This automatic movement is certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), ensuring the highest industry standard of precision and anti-magnetism. It offers a 55-hour power reserve, providing reliable performance that any Olympic athlete would respect. Unlike the digital displays on the best Apple Watch models, this timepiece celebrates purely mechanical excellence.

The Olympic connection

OMEGA's history as the Official Timekeeper for the Olympic Games dates back to 1932. This watch continues that legacy. The grade 5 titanium caseback is stamped with the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem, solidifying its connection to the XXV Olympic Winter Games. The watch is presented on an integrated white rubber strap with a titanium buckle and comes in a special presentation box, making it a true collector's item.

Price and availability in UAE

OMEGA has not yet announced the official price or release date for the Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026 in the UAE. When launched, it is expected to be available at OMEGA boutiques across the Emirates, including locations in The Dubai Mall and The Galleria Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi.
