Olympic Watches: From Photo Finishes to Celebrity Spotting

2024-08-08 // SuperPodium
From photo finishes to celebrity sightings, a look at the watches worn by Olympic athletes and notable personalities at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games have been filled with thrilling moments, from Noah Lyles' dramatic photo finish in the men's 100m final to Armand Duplantis' world-record pole vault. As we marvel at these incredible athletes, let's not forget to take a closer look at the watches they wear.

Omega has established itself as the official timekeeper of the Olympics, playing a crucial role in capturing photo finishes and ensuring accurate timing. Their Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Titanium watch was even stealth-launched alongside Duplantis' record-breaking performance.

But it's not just the athletes who are showcasing their timepieces. Retired athletes and celebrities are also making a splash with their watch choices. Thierry Henry, the famous French footballer, was seen wearing the Patek Philippe Nautilus x Virgil Abloh x MAD Paris Nautilus Ref. 5726A. Jayson Tatum, an American basketball player, flaunted an Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph. Even actor Tom Cruise was spotted with a Rolex Day-Date in platinum.

From the track to the court, the wrists of Olympic athletes are adorned with luxury watches. Noah Lyles, the gold medalist in the men's 100m finals, sported an Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8 'Dark Side of the Moon' and an Omega Constellation 39mm in yellow gold. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, a Jamaican sprinter, wore an Audemars Piguet Double Balance Openworked 'Salmon'.

It's clear that watches have become an integral part of the Olympic experience. Whether it's capturing photo finishes or making a fashion statement, these timepieces add another layer of excitement to the games. So, the next time you're watching the Olympics, keep an eye out for the watches adorning the wrists of these incredible athletes.
