On February 5, the Chinese team won China's first gold medal in the short track speed skating mixed team 2000m relay race at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, setting off the first climax of the Winter Olympics. At about the same time, Fan Kexin, a Chinese short track speed skater who won the first gold with his teammates, also announced that he would join hands with Omega, the official timing brand of the Winter Olympics, and become a close friend of Omega's brand. In fact, the Winter Olympics is not only a grand event for athletes from all over the world to compete, but also a stage for watchmaking brands.

The motifs on the watch pay homage to the elements contained in the artist Lin Cunzhen's design of the emblem of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, while incorporating Chinese culture. For example, the "Picturesque Mountains" watch pays homage to traditional art forms and stunning mountain scenery with vibrant colors and designs. The "North Country Scenery" watch uses the blue tone used by Lin Cunzhen in the emblem of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, representing the pure beauty of dreams, the future and ice and snow.

At the Winter Olympics, many athletes were highly anticipated before they played, and the watches in their hands also took this opportunity to catch fire - China's Gu Ailing was one of the representatives.
