Valtteri Bottas, Formula 1’s hottest young talent, 

returns Oris to the podium

Bottas said his third-place finish would be a huge push to the team, which last climbed the podium at the 2014 finale in Abu Dhabi. ‘Like last year, we saw that these results really boost our confidence,’ said the Finn. ‘We know we are a top eamt again and that we can fight for podiums.’

Oris has been Williams F1’s Official Watch Partner since 2003. This year, the team’s cars, helmets, overalls, gloves and team shirt all carry the Oris logo, while Bottas – widely regarded one of racing’s rising stars – proudly sports the Oris Williams Chronograph.

‘It’s a high-performance, motor sport-inspired watch, and it suits me and meets all my needs’, says Bottas.

The new Oris Williams collection celebrates the Swiss watch brand’s long-standing relationship with the F1 team and includes chronograph and time-only models. The Oris Williams Chronograph worn by Bottas has a 44mm stainless steel case, rubber strap and is powered by an automatic chronograph movement.

Since winning his race seat with Williams in 2013, 25-year-old Bottas has been in impressive form – he delivered four podium finishes last year, securing his seat for the 2015 season. His career began in karting before he moved on to Formula Renault (where, at 17-years-old, he won two races) and Formula 3. He joined Williams in 2010 as test driver.

‘I travel the world with Williams Martini Racing, and everywhere I go the Oris Williams Chronograph draws admiring looks,’ says Bottas. ‘It’s a high-performance, motor sport-inspired watch, and it suits me and meets all my needs.’

The countdown begins

In just one year's time, the world's greatest athletes will converge on Brazil for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. As the seconds tick down, OMEGA is proud to introduce the Seamaster Bullhead Rio 2016 Limited Edition – a celebration of heritage, precision, and sporting excellence.

Launched at a special OMEGA event in the Olympic host city on 3 August, the Bullhead "Rio 2016" is sure to set pulses racing.

At first sight, it is instantly recognizable for its unique style and design. The blue leather strap links directly to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games logo, and features subtle stitching along each side, coloured yellow, green, red and black to remind the iconic Olympic rings. This colour theme is continued on the 60-minutes rotating inner-bezel, serving as a meaningful reminder of the unity and harmony that the Olympic rings signify.

At the same time that this special timepiece was announced, OMEGA also officially introduced three new “friends” from the world of sailing. Torben Grael is a five-time Olympic medalist and renowned Brazilian sailor, while his daughter Martine Grael and her partner Kahena Kunze are the world ranking leaders of the new Olympic class, the 49erFX.

Along with seeing the athletes, guests at the event were also able to get a close-up view of the new watch. And the case itself has a true link to history and sport. This particular style was first released in 1969, and was used by rally drivers to time their laps. It's highly appropriate then, that the spirit of speed has now evolved to exemplify OMEGA's continuing association as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games.

Like its predecessors the Bullhead "Rio 2016" also features a central chronograph seconds hand and a 30-minute recorder at 12H. It's interesting to point out, that the name "bullhead" was originally a nickname, coined by watch collectors who admired the shape of the timepiece, and concluded that it indeed looked like the head of a bull. There is no doubt that the qualities of strength and determination will be on show next year.

The Seamaster Bullhead Rio 2016 Limited Edition is being released exactly one year before the Olympic Games get under way. Only 316 of these remarkable watches will be made available. This is in honour of the 3rd time that golf has been included at the Olympic Games, as well as the year 2016.
