Anticipation for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games is ramping up, as nine Omega clocks across Russia count down to the opening ceremony.

Each clock will count down the final 365 days to the start of the Games on Feb. 7, 2014. This will be Omega’s 26th time as the Olympic’s official timekeeper since 1932.
