OMEGA is the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games for the 29th time in history, and as the team in charge of time, OMEGA measured every race in microseconds and tracked all the athletic performances using state-of-the-art motion sensor technology. The brand brought along its wealth of timekeeping experience to the new Olympic Games sports including karate, sport climbing and surfing.
Recording Olympic dreams required expert timekeepers, dedicated volunteers and a mountain of technology: 400 tonnes of timekeeping equipment, 350 sport-specific scoreboards, 85 public scoreboards and 200 kilometres of cables and optical fibre.
Clearly thrilled that Tokyo 2020 was finally underway, OMEGA President and CEO Mr. Raynald Aeschlimann described the timekeepers as “distinguished representatives of the brand” referring to the team as “ambassadors, who work tirelessly before, during and after every event, to ensure the athletes are justly served and OMEGA’s reputation for excellence is maintained and enhanced”.

The unmistakable association of achieving the impossible by pushing limits between the tallest building in the world and the very essence of what all Olympians aspire to accomplish, made it the perfect platform to launch the campaign.

Ramesh Prabhakar, Vice Chairman and Managing Partner of the Rivoli Group added, “Timekeeping for the Olympics has to be precise and OMEGA will be using some very specialized modern technology in its 29th year to capture the results across different parameters. The brand has evolved the very concept of timekeeping over the years particularly through its relationship vis-à-vis the Olympics; and as the exclusive representatives of the OMEGA brand in this market,
