OMEGA House is the Swiss brand’s luxurious home for the duration of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, at which OMEGA is fulfilling the role of Official Timekeeper. Athletics Night was a dynamic moment in the spotlight, paying tribute to those who went “fast, higher, and stronger” this year.
Speaking to guests, OMEGA President and CEO, Raynald Aeschlimann, said, “After all the training and high-pressure competition, this event is a perfect tribute to those who competed at Paris 2024. They deserve this recognition for their hard work and for all the thrills they’ve given the spectators and timekeepers. OMEGA says well done to them all.”
OMEGA has a very close connection to the world of athletics, thanks to its timekeeping role, not only at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, but also at the renowned Diamond League. Throughout the decades, the brand has been responsible for developing many pieces of equipment that athletes depend on, including starting blocks with false start detection, the electronic starting pistol, and this year’s new Scan’O’Vision ULTIMATE photofinish camera.
