This year, I’ve been all-in on the Olympic games. From the incredible opening ceremony to the events (iconic and obscure alike), I’ve soaked up as much as I could get. With streaming and nearly instant replays of events, you can have anything imaginable your fingertips. I’ve always been a big fan of the Olympics but I’ve been content to watch it at home – I never thought I’d see the games in person. Now, I can’t imagine missing another Olympics for the rest of my life.
I am prepared for those who could say, “Of course you were won over to Omega because they brought you to the Olympics.” That’s why I usually say no trips like this – trips without perfect super clone watches launch or something of the sort to cover. There has been plenty of watch news at the Olympics, from the Omega-powered photo finish for the “fastest man in the world” to a new sports watch revealed during a world record and even a tease of a new AAA UK replica Omega Seamaster 300M watches on the wrist of Daniel Craig. But to incredulous people, the most I can say is that I honestly mean the following:
Seeing the Olympics in person only deepened my love and appreciation for the games themselves, the athletes, and what it all stands for. If anything, any growth in my love for Omega came from the same place most of my love of luxury super clone watches always seems to come from: the people. Surrounded by not just Omega lovers, but also this massive, international crowd of passionate fans (including ones at rhythmic gymnastics who may have given me permanent hearing damage) took the Olympics to a whole new level.
People are the core, after all, because they’re the storytellers. From the “most important movement” or “most gorgeous reference” to the “most important watch to me,” the superlatives all begin with a story. Among the people I met attending the Olympics with Omega, from collectors to retailers to colleagues, passion and excitement for the brand and their cheap 1:1 fake watches was palpable. People brought out some truly rare and sometimes unusual watches. But everyone I met proved to me that it’s not about hype or return on investment; it’s about stories and the minute details that make the watches so special to their owners. I’ve always said that if I can’t afford to collect all the super clone watches for sale, I can at least collect the stories and the knowledge, and the people I met at the Olympics were more than happy to share.
In some ways, Swiss movements Omega copy watches’ role in the Olympics is to fade seamlessly into the background. That’s what they’ve been doing for most of the last 92 years, where they’ve largely filled the role of “Official Timekeeper” of the Olympic Games since 1932. Yes, in 1964, 1972, 1992, and 1994 Seiko took over timing for the games, but Omega has signed a contract to be timekeeper through the 100th anniversary of their timekeeping for the Olympic games in 2032. Things have changed massively in the last 92 years. Omega has gone from one watchmaker onsite at the Olympics and 30 split-second pocket super clone watches UK shop (one of which was on display at the Omega House in Paris) timing 1/10th of a second intervals at the 1932 games to cameras capturing 40,000 frames per second and timers that can time 1/1000th of a second with ease in 2024.
There’s Omega branding around, of course, but outside the Omega House (the social club-meets-museum they set up in Paris), it’s relatively subtle. The same could be said for the Omega-branded technology that makes it all happen. Those feats of engineering are largely powered by the Swatch Group sub-company Swiss Timing, which provides its wares to top 2024 super clone Omega watches and brands like Longines and others that use it in various sporting events. You often won’t see it unless you’re looking for it. The point is not to be the story – you don’t want faulty equipment ruining years of hard work. That is until it is time to help the athletes answer who is the best in the world – that’s where Omega gets their moment, not to overshadow but to contribute to someone else’s story.
What I hoped to bring back from Paris (in addition to a dozen pins I bought at the gift shop) was a story about the timing technology Omega uses, but I didn’t get to see it up close in the 48 hours I had on the ground. That will have to wait until at least a few years from now. I wish I could have brought everyone with me. Some of you may have gone on your own. But I hope you’ll feel a little bit more like you were there after seeing a “Photo Report” of some of the coolest best China replica watches (and moments) I saw in that brief time. It’s one that hopefully captures even a fraction of the passion of people at the Olympics, whether for watches or the games themselves.
