Omega just dropped its new Speedmaster for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, and the details are seriously next-level. Beyond the stunning blue and white colorway, there are some incredible features hiding in plain sight. Here are four things you probably missed about this special edition timepiece.
1. The Dial Hides a Secret Logo
Look closer at that frosty white dial. See that subtle pattern? It’s not random. Omega created a unique “finger trace” design in the light blue frosting that’s directly inspired by the flowing shape of the number “2” from the official Milano Cortina 2026 emblem. It’s a clever and artistic nod to the Games that you’ll only notice up close.
2. The Subdials Mimic Freshly Groomed Snow
Those three subdials aren’t just standard blue circles. Omega used a special finishing technique called “azurage” to create a fine, circular-grained texture. The effect is designed to look just like a freshly groomed ski slope in the morning sun, connecting the watch directly to the winter sports it’s built to time.
3. This Isn’t Your Typical Speedy
While it carries the legendary Speedmaster name, this isn’t the classic Moonwatch. This model comes in a more versatile and compact 38mm stainless steel case. Inside, it’s powered by the Calibre 3330, a COSC-certified automatic movement featuring Omega’s advanced Co-Axial escapement and a silicon balance spring for superior accuracy and durability.
4. It Times an Olympic First
This watch is set to witness history. At the Milano Cortina 2026 games, Omega will be the official timekeeper for 116 events, including the Olympic debut of a brand-new sport: ski mountaineering. This Speedmaster isn’t just celebrating the Games; it’s celebrating innovation and the expansion of the Olympic spirit.
From hidden logos to cutting-edge tech, the Milano Cortina 2026 Speedmaster is more than just a commemorative watch—it’s a masterpiece of subtle storytelling. It’s these thoughtful details that truly set it apart.
