Meet four Thai athletes at the top of their game

This month marks the start of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games, of which OMEGA is the Official Timekeeper. We pay tribute to four new talents on the Thai sporting landscape for their unrivalled excellence: the sports watches of the renowned Swiss watchmaker.

Age: 35 years old

Sports discipline: Triathlon

Sporting achievement you are most proud of:

My proudest achievement has been achieving peak performance by achieving a perfect balance between my body and mind. Training for hours alone, without music or distractions, has been a transformative experience. It has not only improved my physical abilities, but also given me a deep sense of inner peace and resilience. Through dedication, hard work, and my ability to maintain peak performance under difficult conditions, I was able to finish a race with a sub-three-hour result. This result is a testament to my efforts to push my limits and constantly improve, making it an incredibly rewarding experience.

When it comes to your choice of watch, what would you like it to say about yourself, your tastes and your personality?

A watch is both an art and a mechanical marvel that fulfills certain functions. Personally, I look for a watch that is unique and beautifully complex.

Sports discipline: Tennis

Sporting achievement you are most proud of:

I won my first tournament, the Artengo Junior Championship.

When it comes to your choice of watch, what would you like it to say about yourself, your tastes and your personality?

When it comes to watches, I like timeless and classic models. At the same time, my watch should reflect my taste and personality, without being too flashy. It also reminds me that time is precious and that we should therefore use every minute wisely.

Sporting achievement you are most proud of:

Although golf was my main activity, I never competed professionally. I am particularly proud of my achievement in motor racing, having finished first in the first race I entered.

When it comes to your choice of watch, what would you like it to say about yourself, your tastes and your personality?

It depends on the situation. When I participate in a sports competition, I wear a sports watch. However, for an event or a social occasion, I like to wear a luxury watch, sober and elegant, but which also reflects my personality.
