Armand “Mondo” Duplantis is an athlete at the top of his sport. Not only is the Swedish pole vaulter the current World and Olympic champion, but on April 20, he broke the World Record for an 8th time in his career – setting a new height of 6.24m.
To mark extraordinary leap, OMEGA has introduced a new Seamaster Aqua Terra inspired by the brand ambassador. Crafted in the blue and yellow colours of the Swedish flag, it features a number of exclusive details in celebration of Mondo’s achievements in athletics.
The 41mm timepiece is presented in stainless steel and is worn on an integrated strap made from blue rubber with neat stitching in yellow, an OMEGA logo, and polished central links that beautifully complement the polished and brushed surfaces of the case.
On the dial, OMEGA has delivered a subtle twist to the signature Aqua Terra style. While the blue surface is given a traditional opaline finish with horizontal stripes, the unique tributes to Mondo include a Seamaster name and quarter hour numbers in yellow. Most notably, the varnished central seconds hand is also in yellow and is crafted with a pole vault inspired shape, featuring Super-LumiNova on top to represent the grip of the pole.
As precision has been critical throughout Mondo’s sporting journey, the watch is further equipped with a Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre, assuring the very height of accuracy, performance, and magnetic-resistance.
Armand Duplantis has been an OMEGA ambassador since 2020. In the four years since then, he has claimed multiple World and European Championships titles, and won his first Olympic Games gold medal in Tokyo. His progressive World Records show the unrelenting commitment he has to his sport, and prove there are always more boundaries to push.
As Official Timekeeper of the Diamond League, OMEGA was at the latest meet in April, proudly measuring the 6.24m jump that Mondo accomplished in Xiamen, China.
