OMEGA continues as Timekeeper for World Aquatics Championships

The very best aquatics athletes gathered in Fukuoka, Japan, for the twentieth edition of  the World Aquatics Championships, which took  place  July  14–30, and has been timed by OMEGA since 1973

The event gave competitors a chance to achieve victory in the water and cement their names in sporting history. OMEGA has proudly served as the Official Timekeeper of World Aquatics events since 1973, when the federation’s first ever World Aquatics Championships took place.

This follows the Swiss brand’s long history of sports timekeeping, most notably at the Olympic Games, at which OMEGA has served as Official Timekeeper on 30 occasions since 1932.

As  well  as  timing  every  second  of  action, OMEGA’s role in aquatic sports has included the development of the most vital timekeeping technologies.  Evolved  over  time,  these innovative pieces of equipment ensure that no result is ever left in doubt, and that even the closest  finishes  can  be  accurately  recorded.

This year in Fukuoka, OMEGA technology was  used  across  all  the  various  sports,  which included  swimming,  diving,  water  polo,  open water swimming, and artistic swimming. OMEGA also announced new additions to its Swimming Family including Léon Marchand, David Popovici, Thomas Ceccon.
