Michael Phelps

For the launch of a new line of water-resistant Omega watches, we developed a PR campaign featuring swimming legend Michael Phelps. The shoot took place in his hometown of Baltimore, where we built an indoor swimming pool in a studio, using a lighting setup inspired by a diver watch shoot we had done two years earlier – this time on a much grander scale.

One of the standout images from the shoot graced the cover of The Water Edition of Omega Lifetime magazine. This issue was also transformed into an interactive digital edition for iPad, extending the campaign’s reach and engagement across multiple platforms.
