"It's not surprising that the brand picked the Speedmaster for the Olympics. The watch that pushed the boundaries in space is more than qualified to do double duty for the pinnacle of sporting endeavor on Earth. Omega's duties in official sports timing at the Olympics in fact predate the space race by decades, and the Speedmaster will always be its preeminent chronograph."
"This newest iteration, called the Speedmaster Milano Cortina 2026, features an unusual but subtle textured blue-and-white dial treatmentinspired, suitably, by snow and icethat's echoed on the central chronograph seconds hand. A ghostly 26, taken from the Milano Cortina logo, cuts through the pattern. The bezel and baton markings, meanwhile, are navy blue, giving contrast against the bright dial. The full winter Olympic logo, including those famous rings, are engraved on the case back of the 38mm timepiece. Omega The case back features a "26" logo."
Omega launches the Speedmaster Milano Cortina 2026 to mark the 100-day countdown to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina D'Ampezzo. The 38mm chronograph features a textured blue-and-white dial inspired by snow and ice, a central chronograph seconds hand echoing the motif, and a ghostly "26" drawn from the Milano Cortina logo. Navy-blue bezel and baton markings contrast the bright dial, and the full winter Olympic logo with rings is engraved on the case back. Omega became the Olympic official timekeeper in 1932 and added the Winter Games in 1936, later adopting quartz-based timers in the early 1960s and expanding R&D.
