With just over two weeks to go until the Winter Olympics, Omega is marking the occasion with the launch of the Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026. It follows the Speedmaster Milano Cortina, unveiled 100 days before the Games, and the 37mm Seamaster announced exactly one year ahead of the opening ceremony—clear evidence of Omega’s continued commitment as the Olympics’ official timekeeper since 1932.
The Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026 is easily the most winter-inspired of the trio. Housed in a bold 43.5mm case crafted from a striking combination of white ceramic and titanium, it exudes a crisp, icy aesthetic—reminiscent of fresh snow settling on modern industrial architecture. The 43.5mm size is distinctive, reserved exclusively for Omega’s ceramic models, giving the watch a powerful, commanding presence, albeit one that remains slightly more restrained than the brand’s 44mm chronograph offerings.
Continuing the snow-and-ice theme, the dial features a frosted ceramic surface created using laser ablation. A subtle zigzag pattern runs across it, designed to resemble the marks left when a finger traces across frost—much like a child drawing shapes on the inside of an icy car window. This playful detail is directly inspired by the Milano Cortina 2026 logo, which uses the same finger-tracing concept to form the “26,” a motif echoed again on the medallion-style caseback.
The dial layout is completed with the familiar applied hour markers, generously filled with lume to ensure strong legibility in low-light conditions. A blue-lacquered lollipop seconds hand further enhances readability while neatly tying in with the event’s branding. And while this Winter Olympics–themed Seamaster boasts a robust 300-meter water resistance, one can’t help but joke that its most fitting low-light scenario might be beneath a blanket of snow rather than deep underwater.
At the heart of the watch is Omega’s Master Chronometer Co-Axial calibre 8806, an automatic movement offering a 55-hour power reserve. It is immaculately finished with Geneva waves, even though this refinement remains hidden behind the solid titanium caseback. Instead of a display back, Omega has opted for a medallion-style decoration, prominently featuring the Milano Cortina 2026 logo as a final nod to the Games.
As for pricing, the Seamaster Diver 300M Milano Cortina 2026 is SGD 15,180. That puts it between the standard ceramic Seamaster at SGD 14,530 and the Black Black at SGD 15,400 (you can see the impact of five years of price rises as it was SGD 12,800 on launch in 2021). Keep your eyes on the Olympic coverage to spot anyone wearing one.
