With the delayed 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo underway, we can finally address Omega?s part in this spectacle of sporting excellence. With its connection to the Olympics going back all the way to 1932, Omega has certainly experienced many unusual Games, including the 1936, 1972, 1980 and 1984 editions. Arguably, none have had so much drama prior to the Games even starting, a fact underscored by its 2020 Summer Olympics Game name.
Marking this historic Games, Omega has brought with it more than just watches, reflecting the depth of its efforts to officiate results in sports. There are hand-forged last lap bells and 21st century photofinish cameras, reminding the world that Omega has been at this game since way in the days when tracking results involved a chronograph and a keen eye. These days, we are able to add considerably more precision, right down to one millionth of a second, according to Omega.Â
