With the imminence of the 2018 Winter Olympics, OMEGA — the offical timekeeper for this year’s games — continues its 86-year partnership with the games through the release of the latest Seamaster collection.

Known for producing a wide range of offerings that coincide with the quadrennial spectacle, the complexity of the chronograph’s interworkings are contrasted by the understated design. Encased in a full stainless steel body, the watch features subtle details that allude to the Olympic Rings. Each watch is accented with perforated leather bands — coming in green, red, black, yellow and blue — and uses tonal accents on the stitching and the face edge. More apparent references come from the emblazoned insignia of the sporting event. Technical features aren’t compromised either, as the athletic watch brandishes magnetic resistance, 60-meters of water resistance and pulse gauge capabilities.

Purchase yours for $5,400 USD via OMEGA’s website.
