OMEGA, the Swiss watchmaker and Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games, added two new timepieces to its celebratory Tokyo 2020 Collection. The collection has Master Chronometer certification that denotes the watches' precision and accuracy. This certification extends to the two new Seamaster Aqua Terra timepieces—a 38mm ladies watch and a 41mm men's watch.
Both luxury watches have Olympics-inspired exteriors with gold cases accented by blue ceramic dials and leather straps. The gold and blue color scheme is reflective of the Tokyo 2020 branding and borrows the checkered 'ichimatsu moyo’ pattern of the Olympic Podium. In addition, the watches' case backs feature the Olympic logo and reveal the movement beneath. The Tokyo 2020 Collection is available for preorder from the OMEGA website.
