The relationship that Omega and the Olympics share goes back to 1932, when the brand first served as the Official Timekeeper at the Los Angeles Summer Games. Since then, the Swiss watchmaker has been at the forefront of timing innovation and has been the official watchmaker of the games. On February 6, 2026, the world's gaze will shift to the opening of the Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina. To celebrate the upcoming Winter Olympics, Omega has unveiled a timepiece that embodies both the rich history of the Olympic Games and the innovative craftsmanship OMEGA is known for – introducing the Seamaster 37 mm Milano Cortina 2026.
A Design Inspired by the Seamaster Legacy
The Seamaster 37 mm Milano Cortina 2026 draws inspiration from the timeless design elements of the Seamaster collection. Crafted from 18K Moonshine™ Gold, a distinctive metal exclusive to OMEGA, the 37 mm symmetrical case boasts sleek, refined proportions, polished to a high shine for a radiant finish. The hexagonal crown is a monumental design element that recalls the original Seamaster Olympic timepieces.
Another highlight of this limited edition timepiece is the pristine white Grand Feu enamel dial, resulting from a convoluted, multi-step process that ensures both beauty and durability. The dial provides an elegant backdrop for sculptured 18K Moonshine™ Gold hour markers, which gleam with understated sophistication. Diamond-polished and facetted 18K gold dauphine hands add a sense of refinement, while the transferred markings executed in grey Petit Feu enamel, including the signature Seamaster typography and minute track, offer a touch of contrast that enhances the legibility and elegance of the watch.
'This timepiece represents our Olympic excellence since Los Angeles,' says Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA. 'While the Seamaster 37 mm design has remained remarkably consistent since the Melbourne 1956 Games, our timekeeping technology has continuously evolved.' This statement underscores the fact that while OMEGA has stayed true to the Seamaster's iconic design over the decades, the brand has never stopped pushing the boundaries of timekeeping innovation.
The Heart of Precision: OMEGA's Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8807
At the core of the Seamaster, 37 mm Milano Cortina 2026 beats the self-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8807. The Master Chronometer certification, granted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), ensures that this watch meets the highest standards of accuracy, magnetic resistance, and durability. In fact, the Co-Axial movement can withstand the disruptive forces of magnetic fields, making it an ideal high-performance timepiece that can handle the rigors of modern life.
A Tribute to Milano Cortina 2026
The Seamaster 37 mm Milano Cortina 2026 features a unique commemorative detail – a medallion on the polished case back, the official Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics logo.
The watch features a brown leather strap that complements the 18K Moonshine™ Gold case's warm tones. The choice of leather and the precise design of the strap elevate the overall aesthetic of the watch, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.
