We love it when a brand drops a product to coincide with a sporting event. While the two go hand in hand, it’s still a thrill to see what the collaboration looks like. With the world watching the Paris Olympics, Omega Watches wants to give the fans something to remember the occasion and it comes in the form of a vintage-style timepiece with beautiful mixed metals that would look as good around a winner’s neck as it would on your wrist.

The details on this piece are amazing. Every time you look at it you see something that wasn’t there before. The watch combines all the podium metals of gold, silver, and bronze to show that no matter how you placed or who you are, you are a winner with Omega.

The specs

There are so many goodies covering this watch. One of our favorites is the “Clous de Paris” found on the center of the dial, but pay attention to the corner where you’ll see the vintage mark, and don’t forget to appreciate the Paris 2024 logo and Olympic rings stamped on the back. The brown, non-grained calf leather strap is just as much of a star with its Bronze Gold buckle.

You might notice the BG 859 on the bank, which is in reference to the one-of-a-kind Bronze Gold created and used by Omega. Other perks are the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective finish and the watch being water resistant up to 30 meters.

Don’t worry, it still is one of the most precise time-telling pieces with a co-axial master chronometer calibre 8926 keeping the standards high. Each watch has to pass the Master Chronographer test by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology and comes in a box that has additional Paris Olympics details.

Why Omega and the Olympics

Omega is paying special attention to the Paris Olympics because it has a history. Omega has been there for the Olympic Games as the standing official timekeeper since 1932. This mixed-metal watch is a throwback to a classic 1939 version, which featured the 30T manual-winding small seconds calibre.

The 3 winning metals come to take the podium

  • The 39 mm case is exclusive Omega Bronze Gold.
  • The dial is Ag 925 Silver.
  • The hands are 18k Sedna Gold.

It doesn’t matter how you place in the games, you win just by getting to experience it, and Omega wants to honor that. The three metals blend beautifully to create a unique timepiece celebrating all who compete.

Whether you want to cheer on Team USA or only watch for the commentary, the Olympics brings us together in a way only sports can. Omega Watches gets this and wants to band another set of people together — those who love sports and collectible watches. Don’t miss the Games, and don’t miss your chance to wear this mixed-metal vintage-inspired Omega watch.

From fire to clay: anOrdain's porcelain revolution brings accessible artistry
anOrdain launches handcrafted porcelain watches

AnOrdain, a Glasgow-based company, built a loyal following—it made excellent hand-enameled watch dials and offered clear customer service. The Scottish maker then moved into a new material: porcelain. The company introduced its Model 2 Porcelain collection after three years of focused study. This collection gives customers a way to experience anOrdain's handmade dial art.
Work with porcelain began in 2022. At that time, anOrdain saw a need to broaden its selection. The company also wanted to keep its standards for handmade products high. Instead of buying porcelain dials from others, the company chose to learn this old art itself. AnOrdain's team spent three years with master potters from Stoke-on-Trent—a town known as a center for English pottery—learning how to make watch dials from English clay.
Making porcelain dials requires different methods than working with enamel. AnOrdain’s well-known grand feu enamel dials use glass powder on metal discs, which are baked at 840°C. But the new porcelain dials use English clay. Workers paint them with glass-like coatings and fire them at much higher temperatures, up to 1300°C. To achieve the black finish seen in the collection, the company experimented with many glaze mixtures, finally using a high amount of iron oxide.
After this hot firing, each dial shows slight differences. Small dips and dots appear as a sign of the handmade process. AnOrdain says these natural variations mean no two porcelain dials look the same. This celebrates the human touch in making fine watches.
The Model 2 Porcelain keeps the well-liked size and look of anOrdain’s enamel collection, but with some updates. The 39.5mm steel case holds the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, which performs well. The hands have been significantly improved. White glowing material now fills loops that were previously empty, finished with fine gold frames. The seconds hand is more striking, with a bright red outer coat and a white tip.
Production capacity is small—anOrdain can finish about 30 pieces each month. The price is $2,440, which is $750 less than the enamel versions, even though they use the same cases and movements. The current wait time is six months, and customers can buy only one watch each. The Model 2 Porcelain shows anOrdain's commitment to preserving traditional crafts in modern watchmaking. It also offers affordable luxury through transparent dealings with customers.

Breitling honors Scott Carpenter with platinum watch
Orbital legacy: Breitling's platinum tribute to space exploration pioneer
Breitling scott carpenter platinum watch

Sixty-three years after Scott Carpenter circled Earth, a custom Breitling Navitimer sat on his wrist. The Swiss maker now honors him with a platinum watch, which has a limited run. The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary observes the American pilot's 100th birthday—it also recalls the story of the first Swiss watch to leave Earth's air.

On May 24, 1962, Carpenter became the second American to circle Earth. He flew as part of NASA's Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. A special Navitimer was on his wrist. Breitling altered it for space travel. The work began with a personal letter from Carpenter—he requested specific changes. He wanted a wider bezel for gloved hands and a stretch metal band for his space suit. Most notably, he asked for a 24-hour dial. In orbit, sunrise and sunset happen every 90 minutes. A regular 12-hour display does not show time well there.
