After numerous conjectures and uncertainties, the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics finally concluded last week. The event was a mixture of emotions, skills, and memories. It is, however, over and all we are left with is a medal tally and some ecstatic watches that we spotted on the wrists of athletes as well as coaches.
Team Omega

The British champion swimmer won the gold medal in the 100-metre breaststroke at the 2016 Olympics games, and retained the title at the 2020 Olympic games in 2021. This is the first time a British swimmer has ever done that. He was seen wearing a limited edition Omega Seamaster Diver 300M ‘Rio 2016’.

American professional track and field athlete Noah Lyles won bronze in 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 200m. But this is not the only reason we have picked the American speedster. Lyles was spotted wearing the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra ‘Ultra-Light’ during the event. I have to say, it is good to see the Aqua Terra getting the lime light it truly deserves.

And the Aqua Terra makes a return! Dalilah Muhammad nabbed the silver medal during the Women’s 400-meter Hurdles event. The track star later played a crucial role in United States victory in the 4×400-meter relay by and won the gold medal. All of this while gracefully donning the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra ‘Ultra-Light’.

It seems that the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is on a roll. The former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking was spotted wearing the watch. The golfer hardly wears a watch during competition but we’re glad he did this time around.
