This Omega Seamaster Beijing Olympics limited edition chronograph is a stainless steel automatic wristwatch produced to commemorate the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
The watch features a black dial equipped with applied hour markers, a date aperture positioned at 6 o’clock, and three silvered sub-dials finished with concentric guilloché. A unique design element is the central chronograph seconds hand, which incorporates the iconic Olympic rings motif. The watch also displays an outer pulsations scale.
