It only makes sense that Omega watches keep track of the times in the Olympics, as Omega invented the first stopwatch ever in 1898. As Omega keeps progressing the way the Olympics can enhance timekeeping, they continue to be the official timekeeper for the Summer Games.

Timekeeper sponsors throughout the modern Olympic Games include Longines, Heuer, Omega, Seiko, and Swatch. Omega is the official timekeeper of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. Even the Swim-O-Matic touch pads at the Mexico City 1968 Olympic Games were made by Omega.
