The Paralympic Games in Paris have officially begun, with 4,400 athletes competing in 22 sports. OMEGA, the official timekeeper, is utilizing innovative technologies tailored to Paralympic needs, including flashing start lights for deaf competitors and specialized equipment for wheelchair races.
Omega, the Swiss watchmaker, has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932. For the Paris 2024 Games, the brand brought in 350 tonnes of specialized equipment and 550 timekeepers, showcasing their commitment to precise timekeeping. Beyond its technical expertise, Omega has also created a series of special watch models dedicated to the Games, offering luxury memorabilia for fans to commemorate this sporting event.
Neeraj Chopra, the Indian javelin thrower who won silver at the Paris Olympics, sparked online discussions after he was seen wearing an expensive watch during his throw. While some users on Reddit claimed the watch was an OMEGA Seamaster AquaTerra 150M worth ₹ 50 lakh, further research revealed that a titanium version of the watch with similar features can indeed cost between ₹ 50-52 lakh. The speculation comes as Neeraj recently became an OMEGA brand ambassador, a collaboration announced just before the Olympics.
Nicole Kidman and her daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, have been enjoying some stylish outings in Paris after attending the skateboarding at the Olympics. The duo attended the Omega Her Time event, with Kidman sporting a crisp white Valentino outfit and Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban opting for a gray vest top with matching trousers. This isn’t Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban’s first foray into the fashion world, having previously accompanied her mother to the Chanel show in Paris.
