Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow Olympic Timeless Collection

Speedmaster Broad Arrow Olympic Timeless Collection is a chronograph by Omega.

On the occasion of the Olympic Games 2008 Omega launched the series Olympic Timeless Collection. The watches are reminiscent of the first Omega chronographs, which have been used at the Olympic Games 1932 in Los Angeles for time measurement, when Omega for the first time was in charge of the official timekeeping. The new chronographs bear the Omega inscription which was usual in the early models, and the Omega logo in red. In addition, at each watch the inscription "Official Timekeeper" is stamped into the caseback.

The model shown here is a variant of the chronograph Speedmaster Broad Arrow from the series Omega Speedmaster. The name of the watch, which features the symmetrically balanced tricompax arrangement of the displays, is derived from the distinctive arrow-shaped hours hand.

With this special edition two movements can be found: in the white version (or the black with rubber strap) the exclusive automatic chronograph calibre Omega 3313 with co-axial escapement is used, and in the black version with the steel bracelet the exclusive automatic chronograph calibre Omega 3303 without co-axial escapement.
