With the 2024 Olympic Games going full speed ahead in Paris this week, the boys are tapping in with the world of Omega and the Bienne maker's longstanding relationship with timekeeping the games since 1932. Did you know that Omega isn't just the official timekeeper, but also the manufacturer of virtually all of the instruments used in timing the games? This includes the starter pistols, the scoreboards, and a whole heck of a lot more – tap in for the full story! And though the boys make their own speculations, for the record, Omega's first ever commemorative watch dates all the way back to the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956.
