The design and symbolic meaning of Omega’s new watches
Recently, Omega launched the Seamaster series 37mm “Milano Cortina 2026” special edition watch. This new watch uses a symmetrical case made of Moonshine 18K gold, and its design is inspired by the first Seamaster Olympic watch. Omega said that watches are not only timekeeping tools, but also symbols of the Olympic spirit and watchmaking art.
It is worth mentioning that the release of this new watch coincides with the one-year countdown to the Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Milan.
Technical characteristics of Omega 8807 movement
The movement of the new Seamaster series “Milano Cortina 2026” special edition watch is the Omega 8807 Master Chronometer self-winding movement. This movement has been certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) and has the characteristics of high accuracy, high energy efficiency, antimagnetism, and shock resistance. It is a representative of high-end watchmaking.
The international influence of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics
The 2026 Milan Cortina d’Ampezzo Winter Olympics will be held in February next year, when global attention will be focused on this sporting event. On the day of the opening ceremony on February 6, the five Olympic rings will shine in the square held in Milan, Italy. At the same time, in the Yanqing Division of the Winter Olympics held in Beijing, a big Eastern country, a “Snow Rongrong” will light the Winter Olympics torch.
Omega’s place in Olympic timekeeping history
Since the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games, Omega has served as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games and has a history of more than 90 years. Every Olympic Games, Omega will launch special edition watches to commemorate the event.
Watch details and craftsmanship
The new Seamaster series “Milano Cortina 2026” special edition watch released this time has a diameter of 37 mm and a thickness of 11.8 mm. The case is made of Moonshine 18K gold, the bezel and lugs present gentle curves, and the overall design is slimmer and more elegant.
The white enamel dial of this watch is made using the “Grand Feu” process. The production process is extremely complex and requires repeated heating and firing in a high-temperature furnace, which takes several days to complete. The words “Milan Cortina 2026” are written on the top of the dial, and the words “Winter Olympics” are written below. The polyhedral hour markers and dauphine hands are plated with Moonshine 18K gold, highlighting elegance and sophistication. The 8807 movement equipped on this watch can be seen through the transparent sapphire crystal glass case back. The oscillating weight of the movement is engraved with the Winter Olympics emblem, the special year and the words “Master Observatory”.
This watch is equipped with a brown leather strap and a Moonshine 18K gold polished buckle, making it highly collectible.
