Please share your Olympic Edition Omegas!

Hi all

Thought this would be a fun thread given the upcoming Olympics!

Here is my London 2012 Seamaster, I live in London so is pretty special to me and reminds me of the 2012 Olympics where GB were amazing!!

Cheers
Anuj

Yes, the London Seamaster, based on the original sub-dialled version is a classic in the making.

Here's a couple of my 1956 Olympic Seamasters, one with original Japanese lacquer dial (it comes with its original box and papers), and one made especially for the US market.




But the one I would really like to get my hands on is the 1960 Rome Seamaster, with discus box. Very uncommon to find one complete.

I really like the Speedmaster Mark II Rio edition, I have been in the shop a couple of times, just have not been able to pull the trigger. I know once I decide to get it, it will be out of stock.

Very cool thread. I've got the Vancouver edition still in the box unworn. It was presented to Canadian Olympian . I got it directly from him and had him sign the outer box. If I don't trade it for something else maybe one day I'll wear it. It's a very beautiful time piece in my opinion.

I saw this somewhat old thread and thought that my 2016 Rio Olympic Games Seamaster would fit right in. I love this watch! It is my daily wearer.
