Michael Phelps is inarguably the greatest Olympian of all time. With 28 Olympic gold medals to his name, out of which 23 are gold, Phelps has cemented his name in Olympic history forever.

Naturally, Phelps also garnered tonnes of brand sponsorships over the course of his decorated career. One of them was Swiss Luxury Watch manufacturer Omega. In fact, Phelps and Omega joined forces in 2004, and have been together since.

Here is a look at the limited-edition Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Michael Phelps watch. Omega made the timepiece in honor of the legendary swimmer.

The brand did this to commemorate the Olympian’s 28 Olympic medals, out of which 23 were gold. Additionally, 3 of Phelps’ medals are silver and the other 2 are bronze.

Furthermore, on the reverse side of the watch, a Michael Phelps logo adorns the crystal case back. Finally, it is certainly a no-brainer for the primary color on the watch to be blue, representing the waters Phelps mastered so deftly in his life.
