India's golden boy of athletics, Neeraj Chopra, once again captured the nation's heart with his stellar performance at the Paris Olympics. The Haryana-born javelin prodigy, defending champion from Tokyo, clinched the silver medal in a nail-biting final. While his athletic prowess was undoubtedly the star of the show, there was another detail that caught the eye of keen observers: the luxurious timepiece adorning his wrist.
As the world watched Chopra's every move, a different kind of competition was unfolding online. A dedicated community of watch enthusiasts on Reddit couldn't resist speculating about the identity and value of the watch gracing Chopra's wrist during the high-pressure final. "Can anyone tell which watch Neeraj Chopra was wearing in the 2024 Paris Olympics finals?" a Reddit user asked on r/watchesIndia.
The digital sleuths were quick to point fingers at a potential Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m, a model renowned for its blend of elegance and durability. Their suspicions were confirmed by Kapoor Watch Co., a leading luxury watch retailer in India.
They officially identified the watch on their website, adding fuel to the already burning curiosity. The price tag? A staggering sum exceeding ₹50 lakh, a figure that raised eyebrows even among the most seasoned watch collectors. A post shared by Neeraj Chopra (@neeraj____chopra) It was no mere coincidence that Chopra was sporting such a high-end timepiece.
Earlier in the year, the Swiss watchmaking giant Omega had announced a prestigious partnership with the Indian javelin star, making him their official sporting ambassador. On May 24, India’s Golden Boy announced the collaboration on his Instagram account. “Timing is everything.
Excited to join the @OMEGA family,” he wrote. The athlete also talked about the collaboration and said, "I am very excited to be a part of such an iconic brand that plays such a huge role in timekeeping at the Olympic Games. I am looking forward to a great association with OMEGA and the upcoming spectacle in Paris.
