Noah Lyles wearing his Apollo 8


Any other track & field fans notice Noah's Speedmaster? He is an Omega Ambassador & wears several pieces, but this one appears to be one of his favorite.

It's a nice watch. I don't recall seeing people actually wearing watches while competing, but I also haven't followed this stuff it a while.

Noah Lyles has been wearing various Omega watches for his meets. I know he's worn this one and that one AT Ultra Light watch that's like $50k USD.

That's pretty cool! The watches are well capable, so good to see them being used. I doubt swimmers would, but this would also be nice to see.

Swimmers shave and wear special suits to minimize drag, I cant imaging wearing a watch for competition

Exactly, Michael Phelps was an ambassador for a while and obviously never competed with a watch on.

IMO, he's the best athlete to be wearing a Speedy! He has a chance for Gold medals in the 100, 200, & the 4x100. It is a great piece!

I was fortunate to have dinner with the Triple Jump Olympic Champion, Christian Taylor, and he was wearing the Omega Ultralight. I mistakenly commented on it thinking it was an older AT.
He actually took off the UL and let me try it on. Really good dude. He’s also an Omega ambassador.

I've seen pictures of him wearing a Speedmaster A11 50th two-tone version.
