The 2020 Olympics will be taking place in Japan and as many might know Omega is the official timekeeper for the games. In celebration for the 2-year countdown for the games, Omega introduced a collection of Speedmaster. In the collection there are a set of 5 watches, each representing the colors of each ring on the iconic Olympic Rings. Although many Speedmaster lovers have gone crazy over the release, this Omega collection is only for the Japanese Market.

As you can see, many of the watches for the 2020 Collection have been inspired from existing or discontinued models. Three of the five watches are in stainless steel while the other two have gold aspects included. The Apollo 15 35th anniversary edition is one of those watches used to inspire this collection. The watches are limited to up to 2020 pieces and can be bought as the set of five. The set of five is limited to 55 pieces.
