Did Neeraj Chopra wear a ₹52-lakh luxury watch at Paris Olympics 2024? Social media abuzz with Golden Boy’s timepiece

Neeraj Chopra secured a silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. Along with his heroics at the top level, the javelin thrower from Haryana also grabbed attention by wearing an expensive watch during his throw.

Social media is abuzz with the possibility of Neeraj wearing a watch worth ₹50 lakh in the Olympics final. On Reddit, watch enthusiasts started wondering which watch Neeraj wore in the final. Soon, users claimed that it was an OMEGA Seamaster AquaTerra 150M.

The OMEGA Seamaster AquaTerra 150M features a 41-mm titanium case with a telescopic crown protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystals. The grey dial includes AquaTerra stripes and a Seamaster logo. The second hand has red details, and the manual OMEGA 8928 Ti movement powers the watch.

It is paired with a black strap and offers basic functions of hours, minutes and seconds. It also has 15 bar water resistance and a 72-hour power reserve.

Some users on Reddit claim that the watch is worth ₹50 lakh. However, on the official website, most watches in the category range between ₹5 lakh and ₹7 lakh.

Upon further digging, we found the titanium version of the watch. There are three such watches available. One of those is priced at around ₹12 lakh. However, the other two watches cost ₹50-52 lakh. So, the claims made by Reddit users seem correct.
