OMEGA precision played a vital role in recording his Olympic dreams and the brand was thrilled to guide the swimming star through its showcase of timekeeping technology in Tokyo, where he even tried his hand at watchmaking.

Asked how he felt about joining the OMEGA family, Caeleb Dressel said, “It’s very humbling, it’s a great brand, and precision timing is so important. One hundredth of a second makes a big difference to your results”.

An Olympic gold medallist and world record holder prior to Tokyo 2020, Caeleb Dressel has been on a winning trajectory since 2017, when he claimed seven gold medals at the World Aquatics Championships in Budapest.
