The re-introduction of the Speedmaster Mark II earlier this year was welcomed by many watch geeks, especially the Omega enthusiasts. Omega is now presenting a new version, the Speedmaster Mark II “Rio 2016”, dedicated to the Rio 2016 Olympic Game. The 27th Olympic Games marks the first time a South American city to hosts the event. The three sub-dials of the new model are decorated by rings in bronze, silver and gold which easily recall the medals awarded to the Olympic champions. Bronze is used for the 30-minute recorder at 3 o’clock, silver for the small seconds at 9 o’clock and, finally, yellow gold for the 12-hour recorder at 6 o’clock. Inspired by the 1969 model of the original Omega Speedmaster Mark II, the polished and brushed stainless steel case is barrel-shaped with polished crown and pushers and offers water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet. Its dimensions remains the same as the model that was announced back in January this year. (42.4 mm x 46.2 mm)
