India’s renowned javelin thrower, Neeraj Chopra, may have missed out on the gold medal at the men’s javelin throw final at the Stade de France, but he secured a silver medal with his best throw of the season at 89.45 meters. This achievement has filled his supporters and the nation with pride.
Chopra, who recently became the brand ambassador for Omega, was seen wearing an Omega Seamaster AquaTerra 150M watch, valued at Rs 50 lakhs. The watch, which he wore during the Paris Olympics 2024 qualifiers, features a titanium case, a telescopic crown, and domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystals. It also has a gray dial with AquaTerra stripes, a Seamaster logo, and is paired with a black strap. With a water-resistant design and a 72-hour power reserve, the watch is priced at Rs 52,13,200 on Omega’s official website.
Neeraj Chopra’s role as Omega’s Sports Brand Ambassador makes him the first Indian track and field athlete to represent the brand. Omega has been the official timekeeper for the Olympics since 1932, marking its 31st tenure this year.
Chopra, known for his impressive collection of watches, competed fiercely against Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who won the gold medal with a throw of 92.97 meters, setting a new Olympic record. Chopra’s silver medal came after a series of four consecutive fouls, but his final throw remained a strong performance in the competition.
