OMEGA Torino 2006 Collection Limited Series

The precise results of OMEGA's timepieces made the company the official timekeeper for Olympic Games for 21 times along the 20th century. The debut of the official timekeeper was the Olympic Games of 1932 that took place in Los Angeles. The historical role of OMEGA was renewed in 2006 when it became the official timekeeper for Olympic Games in Torino.

The return of OMEGA was celebrated with the presentation of OMEGA Torino 2006 Collection. This collection represents a series of 3 chronographs in Limited Edition. Each Torino 2006 Olympic Collection chronograph has the five colored rings that interlock and represent the symbol of all Olympic Games. This fact truly represents the return of OMEGA and its direct relationship to the Olympic Games. An application of nanotechnology helped OMEGA to create the five symbolic rings of the Olympic Games with high precision into the watch design. These rings form the counterbalance of the split-seconds or central seconds hand on all the Limited Edition chronographs.

Thus, celebrating the Torino 2006 Olympic Games, OMEGA returns to continuous innovation in watchkeeping. The Torino 2006 mark on the dial and by the five symbolic rings underline the role of OMEGA as the Timekeeper of Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games; the same refers to the "Official Timekeeper" - an inscription made on the case back. There's also a symbol of exclusivity on the case back that states: "Torino 2006 Limited Edition" followed by the number of the series on each timepiece.
