When the Paralympic Games begins on August 28th, OMEGA will once again perform its critical role as Official Timekeeper. The occasion will bring an expected 4,400 athletes together to compete in 22 sports – all contested in front of an expected 3.4 million spectators.
More than just a sporting event – the Paralympic Games shine a light on sport and disability, while inspiring individuals, bringing about social change, and promoting inclusive opportunities for people with disabilities.
OMEGA has been committed to this special event since Albertville 1992 - the very first time the brand timed the Paralympic Games. This unique partnership with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is a natural continuation and evolution of OMEGA’s leading position in sports timekeeping. The brand has been the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, and has also become a trusted global partner in sports including athletics, swimming, sailing, golf, and bobsleigh.
There will be 549 individual events to measure at Paris 2024. Each one with its own specific requirements and category challenges. However, OMEGA arrives with decades of experience and innovation – providing unquestionable results at the moments that matter.
