In some ways, Omega’s role in the Olympics is to fade seamlessly into the background. That’s what they’ve been doing for most of the last 92 years, where they’ve largely filled the role of “Official Timekeeper” of the Olympic Games since 1932. Yes, in 1964, 1972, 1992, and 1994 Seiko took over timing for the games, but Omega has signed a contract to be timekeeper through the 100th anniversary of their timekeeping for the Olympic games in 2032. Things have changed massively in the last 92 years. Omega has gone from one watchmaker onsite at the Olympics and 30 split-second pocket watches (one of which was on display at the Omega House in Paris) timing 1/10th of a second intervals at the 1932 games to cameras capturing 40,000 frames per second and timers that can time 1/1000th of a second with ease in 2024.
