To celebrate its role as Official Timekeeper at the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, OMEGA has produced an impressive collectible, certified as a Master Chronometer and replete with America’s Cup tributes.
OMEGA’s 42 mm Seamaster Diver 300M in stainless steel has a blue ceramic unidirectional bezel with a regatta scale, comprised of two 5-minute pre-start sections, and START section with regatta-inspired flag.
The sailing watch has its own waves, laser-engraved in positive relief on the white ceramic matt-finish dial. Even the coveted prize makes an appearance – front and back. The central seconds hand has an America’s Cup trophy counterweight in the same blue as the Barcelona logo. The complete logo, with “Auld Mug” and B for Barcelona, is also on the sapphire crystal caseback. Behind which sits its power source: OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806.
Like the competing crews, OMEGA’s America’s Cup tribute has been tested at the highest level. As a certified Master Chronometer, both the watch and the movement have met the strict standards for precision, performance, and magnetic resistance set by the independent Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
The watch, presented in a commemorative blue box with red stitching, can be worn two ways: on a stainless-steel bracelet or blue rubber strap. Both fixed with OMEGA’s patented Quick-Change system.
A blend of dive watch tech and on-deck functions, OMEGA’s Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup 42 mm is a must-have for sailing fans and collectors.
The timekeeper’s tribute is the latest addition to the sought-after Seamaster Diver 300M line, first released in 1993. Its wave-pattern dial, raised indexes, skeleton hands, and helium escape valve are all key features of the legendary depth-defying timepiece, which has earned a large and loyal fanbase.
