Introducing the Omega Seamaster 37mm Milano Cortina 2026
As the world gears up for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, where the Olympic flame will be ignited on February 6, excitement builds among athletes and fans alike.
With this iconic global event on the horizon, Omega is proud to reaffirm its role as the official timekeeper of the Games.
To honor the journey toward Milano, Omega has pulled from its rich history, unveiling a stunning new piece: the Omega Seamaster 37mm Milano Cortina 2026.
A Nod to the Past: The Dog-Leg Lugs Re-imagined
Before diving into the exquisite details of this vintage-inspired timepiece, let’s take a moment to appreciate its roots.
The Seamaster’s captivating design is greatly influenced by its historical forerunners.
One of the standout features of this model is its unique lugs, known as “dog-leg” lugs for their distinctive angularity.
These sharp features were prominent in Omega’s Constellation line and are echoing past designs, particularly those of the Omega Seamaster XVI created for the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne.
With the Seamaster 37mm Milano Cortina 2026, Omega seamlessly captures the spirit of its classic designs that date back to both 1956 and the 2008 Beijing Games’ Seamaster XXIX.
This watch serves as a heartfelt homage to the brand’s illustrious design heritage.
The case itself is a faithful recreation, fashioned from 18k Moonshine Gold and measuring a comfortable 37mm in size.
Its polished finish strikingly resembles that of the original 1956 Ref. 2850 model.
Careful attention is given to the details, from the polished flat bezel to the domed sapphire crystal.
The dog-leg lugs retain their signature sharp angles, complete with a subtle break that sets them apart from the caseband.
On the right, a hexagonal crown adorned with an embossed Omega logo adds a touch of sophistication.
Timeless Design Meets Modern Engineering
Turning the watch over reveals a pristine, domed white Grand Feu enamel dial, accented by 18k gold hour markers and graceful yellow gold Dauphine hands.
The Omega logo and brand name stand out prominently, while a vintage-style ‘Seamaster’ script and a meticulously detailed minute track in grey Petit Feu enamel evoke a sense of nostalgia.
On the reverse side, the solid case back features an engraving of the Milano Cortina 2026 logo, while inside beats the reliable Omega Calibre 8807.
This automatic movement is not just beautiful but boasts impressive functionality, including anti-magnetic properties up to 15,000 Gauss and a substantial power reserve of 55 hours.
To complete the look, Omega offers this remarkable Seamaster on a luxurious brown alligator leather strap, thoughtfully lined and stitched to match.
The polished 18k Moonshine Gold buckle features the classic Ω logo, perfectly complementing the watch’s vintage charm.
This limited edition for the Milano Cortina 2026 comes with a price tag of CHF 16,900 before VAT, or EUR 21,200 including VAT.
