As the anticipation for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games continues to build, Omega pays tribute to its role as the Official Timekeeper with the exquisite Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition watch. If you’re a fan of Omega watches, this piece not only captures the essence of precision timekeeping but also embodies the spirit of the Olympic Games through its intricate design and exceptional features.

Introducing the Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” Special Edition Watch

The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M “Paris 2024” boasts a stainless steel 42mm case, providing both durability and elegance. But what really catches the eye is the 18K Moonshine Gold bezel ring that encircles the case, adding a touch of opulence to the overall aesthetic.

The white ceramic dial is a canvas of sophistication, featuring polished relief waves that pay homage to the watch’s aquatic heritage. But, the real pièce de résistance at the heart of the dial is a central seconds hand in 18K Moonshine Gold PVD, which proudly displays the Paris 2024 logo, serving as a constant reminder of the Olympic spirit, whether you’re a spectator or an athlete. The hour markers, also in 18K Moonshine Gold, complemented by dark gray transferred wording, encircle the date display at 6 o’clock, adding both flair and functionality.

Its stainless steel bracelet, equipped with the Quick Change System and a patented foldover clasp, ensures comfort and ease of use.

Flip it over, and you’ve got the commemorative case back. There’s the patented NAIAD LOCK and a stainless steel medallion that tells a story of Olympic rings and Paris 2024. And when it comes to what’s inside, it’s not just gears and springs — it’s the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800. Fancy name, right? But what it means is a 55-hour power reserve, self-winding magic, and a frequency of 3.5 Hz for spot-on precision. The watch’s performance aligns with Omega’s rich history and experience in timing the Olympic Games, underscoring the significance of this special edition timepiece.

Ulysse Nardin dazzles with blast sparkling rainbow high jewelry limited edition
Ulysse nardin's blast sparkling rainbow features mystery-set sapphires
Ulysse Nardin Sparkling Rainbow Liminited Edition

Ulysse Nardin transforms its avant-garde Blast collection into spectacular high jewelry territory with the Blast [Sparkling Rainbow], an eight-piece limited edition priced at CHF 451,700 that fuses haute horlogerie with gem-setting artistry. The timepiece showcases 211 rainbow-colored sapphires totaling 13.33 carats across the entire watch construction.
The original Blast collection, introduced in 2020, drew inspiration from stealth aircraft design to marry high function with unconventional aesthetics, establishing Ulysse Nardin's reputation as avant-garde icon. This high jewelry interpretation elevates that foundation through unprecedented gem-setting complexity while maintaining the collection's distinctive architectural language.
Central to the technical achievement sits the in-house UN-172 skeletonized movement featuring flying tourbillon, silicon escapement, and platinum micro-rotor visible at 12 o'clock. Operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour with 72-hour power reserve, the caliber demonstrates Ulysse Nardin's silicon innovation expertise dating to 2001's legendary Freak timepiece.
The 45mm white gold case receives invisible setting treatment across 211 individually selected sapphires cut into 85 unique shapes. This rainbow spectrum creates seamless gradient effect encircling the entire watch while employing "mystery setting" technique that allows light passage through gems, creating floating stone illusions without visible metal frameworks.
Gem-setting complexity extends beyond case architecture to encompass bezel, dial, crown, and clasp applications, ensuring complete chromatic coverage across every visible surface. The rainbow arrangement requires precise color matching and graduated placement to achieve the seamless transition effects that define the piece's visual impact.
Construction challenges multiply when combining high jewelry techniques with complex movement architecture. The skeletonized dial must accommodate both sapphire setting requirements and tourbillon visibility while maintaining structural integrity and shock resistance expected from luxury sports watches.
The integrated white rubber strap and deployant clasp receive matching sapphire applications, completing the rainbow aesthetic while ensuring practical wearability. Despite extensive gem setting, the watch maintains 50-meter water resistance, demonstrating successful integration of jewelry and timepiece functionality.
Limited production to eight pieces emphasizes exclusivity while highlighting the intensive handwork required for each example. The mystery setting technique demands exceptional gem-setting expertise, with each sapphire requiring individual cutting and placement to achieve the floating effect.
This release continues Ulysse Nardin's tradition of pushing horological boundaries through unconventional materials and techniques. The brand's silicon escapement innovations combine with high jewelry craftsmanship to create timepieces that challenge traditional luxury watch categories.
The CHF 451,700 pricing reflects both the extensive gemwork and limited availability, positioning the piece among the most exclusive offerings in Ulysse Nardin's contemporary catalog. Eight-piece production ensures immediate collector status while showcasing the manufacture's high jewelry capabilities.

Basketball royalty: LeBron James' Richard Miille collaboration celebrates Lakers heritage
LeBron James Drops Limited Edition Richard Mille

LeBron James shows a Richard Mille limited edition watch he helped design. The watch costs $450,000, and the company made only 150 of them. This item honors his time with the Los Angeles Lakers and combines Richard Mille's skill with basketball elements plus the Lakers' colors.
The watch honors the Lakers with a yellow rubber strap that lasts a long time and feels good when a person moves. James' personal logo sits at the 12 o'clock position in green with a yellow border, which makes the brand easy to see while keeping the watch looking good.
The watch case is black and has a rough feel. A yellow Quartz TPT middle case sits next to it, with green parts and a purple ring for the hour markers. This mix of colors puts the Lakers' purple and gold into a modern watch design.
Richard Mille makes sports watches, and this watch shows that focus. The company did not share specific details about the movement. The brand makes light and strong watches for athletes, which suggests that this watch uses advanced materials and building methods.
The yellow and green crown, along with the teal chronograph dials, add to the watch's look. These colors show the Lakers' identity and James' own taste that he developed from collecting luxury watches for many years.
James' signature appears on the case back, etched in purple. This makes the watch a collector's item, not just a regular luxury watch. The purple signature honors the Lakers' colors and helps identify this specific production run.
Richard Mille works with many good athletes—this collaboration comes after successful partnerships with Rafael Nadal and Bubba Watson. James helps the brand reach the basketball market and may cause younger people to like Swiss watches.
The $450,000 price puts this watch among Richard Mille's more costly items, but it costs less than the brand's most complex watches. The company only made 150 pieces, which means collectors will want it and its price might go up.
James showed the watch on social media, which gained much attention from watch fans and basketball fans. The broad appeal shows that famous people working with luxury brands can connect fine watches with popular sports.
This watch continues James' long connection with luxury timepieces—he owns watches from Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Rolex. James helped design this Richard Mille watch, which sets it apart from simple endorsement deals and suggests a deeper connection with the brand.
The Lakers' look appeals to fans in Los Angeles and people who collect basketball items. The watch also keeps Richard Mille's good name for technical skill and exclusive nature.
