While the Paris 2024 Olympic Games draw near, Omega has welcomed Neeraj Chopra, India’s golden javelin thrower, into its family of ambassadors. This partnership, celebrated at the Swiss brand's boutique in Doha, Qatar, aligns with Chopra’s championship at the Wanda Diamond League, which kicks off today.
As the Olympic and World champion in Men's javelin throw, Neeraj Chopra is celebrated not only for his athletic prowess but also for his groundbreaking achievements, being the first Asian athlete to clinch an Olympic gold and a World Championship in javelin. His dedication to precision and excellence mirrors Omega’s core values—this is the first time an Indian athlete has been associated with the brand.
To mark this new chapter, Chopra sported Omega’s latest marvel, the "Ultra Light" from the Seamaster Aqua Terra collection. A first in many ways for the brand, this 41mm timepiece is crafted from Gamma Titanium, a material used in the aeronautical industry, known for its strength and lightness. This innovation extends to its telescopic crown, designed to be stowed within the case to ensure a seamless profile, enhancing its ergonomic appeal.
The "Ultra Light" stands out not only for its build but also for its visually striking features: the red accents on the aluminium seconds hand, the Seamaster logo, and the quarter-hour markers, alongside a grey sandblasted dial with the signature Aqua Terra stripes. This timepiece is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8928 Ti, a titanium movement designed to resist magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, ensuring that Chopra’s timing remains as flawless as his form.
As Omega continues its long-standing role as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympics, this association with Chopra is more than symbolic. It’s a partnership that celebrates and upholds the highest standards of performance, both on the field and in horology, ensuring that every second of athletic achievement is captured with unwavering accuracy. With Chopra’s journey to Paris 2024 already ticking, the watch on his wrist is a reminder of the precision and dedication that drive both the athlete and the brand towards unparalleled success.
