    I came across this watch in an AD where I live, and was attracted to the black dial with subtle gold ringed sun dials.

    I’m wondering why they’re still available new, being a 5 year old watch (made for Rio 2016?).

    Is this an under-rated watch or am I missing something? Would love to see it on wrist and hear any experiences you might have with this particular model.

    Photo attached above is for reference.

    Olympic models don’t tend to be great sellers for whatever reason. If you like it then buy it, you could probably get a decent discount on it. Personally I quite like this one, its a bit more subtle than some of the other commemorative models.

    Omega has already increased its price twice in between. It's around 40% more expensive than if it was with AD since 2016...
