Omega Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup

Feb 22, 2021,12:06 PM
 

Celebrating OMEGA’s role as the Official Timekeeper of the 36th America’s Cup, this impressive Seamaster Diver 300M combines ocean and sailing inspiration with pioneering new technology.

The 44 mm chronograph is built from stainless steel, with a bezel ring in blue ceramic and a white enamel diving scale. To improve grip during water activities, the watch provides blue and red soft-touch pushers in rubber.

On the blue ceramic dial with its laser-engraved waves and a date window at 6H, OMEGA has included a regatta countdown indicator ring crafted in red anodized aluminium. The indicator features an hour disc underneath the subdial, designed to highlight the vital minute hand during sailing. The red anodized aluminium minute and rhodium-plated small seconds hand is inspired by the shape of a boat hull, while the central seconds chronograph hand, also in red anodized aluminium, carries an America’s Cup on the counterweight.

OMEGA’s exclusive CHRONO LOCK system is included to secure the chronograph functions when needed, adding secure timekeeping and the ability to lock your measured time. On the Alveol shaped caseback, the engravings are filled with blue lacquer and pay tribute to the “36th America’s Cup” and “Auckland 2021”.

The watch is presented on a metal bracelet with an additional rubber strap, both featuring OMEGA’s new patented Quick Change system. It is driven by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900 and is presented in a special presentation box in the colours of the America’s Cup.

But I wonder what percentage of buyers actually race boats... The coloured pushers: this is rare and could be a trend in the future. Here is another one I particularly like: ...  

CWC made some excellent watches for the military ...

The Sonar ... I like the crown.

I think you you could easily dress casually...

Or with a sports jacket and it would work.

Definitely a niche piece...

If I was a serious sailer I would wear it like any other diver...it would be my “sport” watch anyplace other than the office or formal evening wear.

I think it’s actually pretty cool looking

And a bonus that the 300 line is getting the 93/9900 movements!
