This is a particularly special occasion for Omega. It is the first time since 1948 that the Olympic Games have returned to the brand's home country of Switzerland. The host city Lausanne is just over 100km from Omega's watch making headquarters in Bienne, and the company is looking forward to welcoming the world to the events being competed around the city of Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva, St. Moritz, Champéry and in the nearby Vaud Alps and the French and Swiss Jura mountains. Just like the Olympic Games held in St. Moritz in 1948, Omega is bringing its most advanced technology for its Official Timekeeper duties in Lausanne. This includes the incredible Scan'O'Vision MYRIA photo finish camera, which can take 10,000 digital images per second on the finish line of races, as well as 60 tonnes of equipment such as scoreboards, starting gates, photoelectric cells and much more.-PR
