Omega Five Counter Speedmaster Olympic watch

You think that three chronograph counters is enough? Well, some people at Omega consider five counters just right for a watch made by the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932. Meet the Omega Speedmaster Five Counter chronograph!

I’m not particularly into Omega’s timepieces, but the 5-Counters chronograph really makes me wanting to get one for the next birthday.
Although featuring five small counters on a black dial, this iteration of Speedmaster somehow doesn’t feel cluttered or too busy with unnecessary details and markings.

Starting from left to right, the counters show (1) a 30-minute chronograph recorder, (2) a 12-hour chronograph recorder, (3) a day indicator (this one will have problems with legibility, I suppose), (4) a 7-day chronograph recorder, and (5) a small seconds counter.
The rather large 44mm case can be ordered in either 18kt rose / yellow gold or stainless steel.

I am not usually a fan of gold watches. The way Omega has balanced the materials and design elements is amazing.
