Omega Seamaster Olympic Games CollectionInspired by vintage Omega stopwatches used to time the Summer Olympics in Montreal and Winter Olympics in Innsbruck in 1976, the company recently unveiled a colorful collection of Seamaster Olympic watches.
Available in five different colors to represent the five rings of the Olympics, the 39.5mm steel cases of the Omega Seamaster Olympic Games Collection replica watches house domed black and white dials with Arabic numerals, a date window at 6 o'clock, and a pulse scale to measure, you guessed it, one's pulse.
Since Omega signed a 100-year deal with the Olympics in 1932, the partnership will continue until 2,032. Therefore, Omega has produced 2,032 examples of each color variant. Plus, the caseback of the fake watch lists host cities where Omega has been the Official Timekeeper of the Games, along with future known cities up until Los Angeles 2028.

The Seamaster Olympic Games Gold CollectionTo celebrate the three types of medals bestowed upon the best athletes in the world, Omega has created the Seamaster Olympic Games Gold Collection with a yellow gold version, a white gold version, and a red gold version.
The simple time-only dials feature the vintage Omega logo and the vintage Seamaster font set upon the eggshell white enamel surface, along with striking gold faceted indexes and the leaf-style center hands. While the face of the fake watch doesn't indicate any tribute to the Games, the caseback does include the same list of Olympic host cities encircling the sapphire crystal shielding the Omega Master Co-Axial 8807 movement.
To accompany the three gold versions, Omega has also released a platinum edition limited to only 100 pieces.
