Winter just got a whole lot cooler. With only 100 days left to kick off the Winter Olympics 2026, OMEGA has a lot to celebrate. Completing 90 years of precision timekeeping at the Olympic Winter Games is a legacy built on passion, innovation, and split-second accuracy. And what better way to mark the moment than with a brand-new Speedmaster 38 mm dressed in icy tones inspired by the official Milano Cortina 2026 emblem? It’s OMEGA’s way of saying: time may keep ticking, but legends never freeze.

OMEGA has been delivering the highest standard of timekeeping to the Olympic Games since 1932. The brand's first experience of winter events took place at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1936, and over the past nine decades, the Swiss watchmaker has advanced the technology athletes rely on, continually raising its own benchmarks for precision and excellence. At Milano Cortina, OMEGA will be timing all of the 116 events across 8 sports, including ski mountaineering for the very first time.

This Speedmaster comes wrapped in a 38 mm fully polished stainless steel case, gleaming like a freshly carved block of ice. Around it runs a blue ceramic bezel ring, complete with a white enamel tachymeter scale yes, even the iconic “Dot Over Ninety” makes a nostalgic return, a subtle nod to the Speedmaster’s vintage DNA. The overall look? Think crisp mountain air meets high-octane performance.

The Frosted Dial: Etched by Winter’s Hand

At first glance, the white varnished dial seems quietly elegant. But look closer, and you’ll see a light blue frosting spread across its surface, with a distinctive pattern tracing through it inspired by the number “26” from the Milano Cortina 2026 emblem. It’s as if a skier has just glided across a field of snow, leaving behind a trail of artistic precision.

The sub dials are varnished and finished with an intricate azurage technique

Even the subdials get their share of winter magic. Varnished and finished with an intricate azurage technique, they mimic the clean, parallel lines of a freshly groomed ski slope. It’s a small detail, but one that perfectly captures the discipline and symmetry of elite sport a nod to every athlete chasing perfection on ice and snow.

A Gradient of Motion

At the heart of this frozen beauty, the central seconds hand fades subtly from white to blue a gradient effect exclusive to this edition and directly inspired by the Milano Cortina 2026 logo. It’s movement in motion, colour in transition, and a visual reminder that every second counts.
