In the wake of the 2020 Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Omega – the event’s official timekeeper—introduced a new crop of Speedmasters. The maison updated its linchpin model in five colours of the Olympic flag, resulting in a fresh and striking look.

One of the five timepieces, this reference 522.30.42.30.03.001 brings the signature Speedmaster design trope with an asymmetrical 42mm stainless steel case, a tachymeter bezel, and a complementing bracelet. It flaunts a bright blue dial with horizontally-placed contrasting silver sub-dials, creating a pleasing blue panda-style configuration. The tastefully added bell and whistles include the luminous hour markers and hands, a striking red-hued Speedmaster text, and a red-tipped seconds hand, which, against the blue backdrop, results in a pleasing aesthetic.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
