Time is an integral element of our existence. With a dynamic lifestyle that’s packed with Google calendar blocks, Zoom meetings, or simply making calls to our loved ones—it pretty much dictates the course of our life. With an influence so profound, the abstract concept of time has taken over almost every realm, including sports. And with the Tokyo Olympics in full swing, millions of eyes have now turned to some of the world’s best athletes and their mastery of time management.
“Precision is paramount in timekeeping and athletics,” says Raynald Aeschlimann, CEO of Omega, which has been the official timekeeper of the Olympics since 1932. After a delay owing to the global pandemic, the Swiss watchmaker celebrated the better-late-than-never opening of Tokyo with a twist on its classic dive watch, called the Seamaster.
Inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 2020 delivers a white, blue and red palette, which pays an elegant homage to this year’s official logo. With the capability of being water-resistant to up to 300 metres from the surface, the Seamaster Diver embeds itself as one of the most iconic dials.
If you’re looking to splurge on a watch that’s fit for your next tropical getaway or perhaps to combat water, then consider this your lifeguard. Ahead, find an edit of all the dive watches which are on ELLE’s sartorial and shopping radar this Olympics season.
