Catalogue Essay
- Omega’s storied tradition at the Olympic Games is unparalleled, having served as Official Timekeeper at 21 Olympiads during the 20th century. To commemorate its return to this historic role at the Torino 2006 Winter Games, Omega unveiled the Torino 2006 Collection, a trilogy of limited edition chronographs that stands as a superlative representation of the brand’s technical and aesthetic mastery.
- The Speedmaster Reduced Torino Olympics chronograph is housed within a 39mm stainless steel case, a canvas of contrasting satin-brushed and polished surfaces that frame the delicate silvered dial. An engraved tachymeter scale circumscribes the bezel, referencing the model’s motor racing heritage, while a pulsometric scale provides a subtle athletic accent.
- On the dial, applied rhodium-plated indexes mark each hour in a harmonious symmetry, save for 6 o’clock where “Torino 2006” signifies this reference's provenance. Rhodium-plated hands glide smoothly over the dial, white and red accents imparting a spirited character. The central chronograph seconds hand bears the five Olympic rings in a splash of color, an emblem of the enduring partnership this chronograph represents.
- Issued in a limited edition of 2,006 pieces, the present example numbered 1,912 in excellent overall condition with its full set of accessories stands as a distinguished commemorative watch for devotees of Omega’s timekeeping mastery and the Olympic tradition.

Swiss | 1848Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
