And to celebrate the occasion, OMEGA has created a remarkable commemorative timepiece. Titled the Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup Edition, the watch blends the brand’s legendary dive watch technology with design elements inspired by the competition. Design-wise, the timepiece comes in a 42mm stainless-steel case with a blue ceramic unidirectional bezel featuring a 10-minute regatta scale, including two 5-minute pre-start sections and a START section with a regatta-inspired flag.
The white ceramic matt-finish dial also showcases the Seamaster’s signature wave pattern, laser-engraved in positive relief, which adds depth and texture to the design. The central seconds hand boasts an America’s Cup trophy counterweight as a nod to the competition’s coveted prize, coated in the same blue as the event’s Barcelona logo. What’s more, the sapphire crystal caseback also reveals the America’s Cup logo with B for Barcelona and the iconic “Auld Mug” trophy.
Underneath this lively visual composition is OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, a movement that has passed the stringent tests for precision, performance, and magnetic resistance set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). This ensures that the watch is not only a collector’s item, but also a highly functional piece of engineering.
For the finishing touches, the timepiece comes with two strap options – a stainless-steel bracelet and a blue rubber strap – that come equipped with OMEGA’s patented Quick-Change system for versatility, and it is presented in a commemorative blue box with red stitching.
In the end, OMEGA’s Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup perfectly captures the spirit of the prestigious sailing event and the brand’s dedication to precision and performance. Like the elite crews competing in the race, this timepiece has been rigorously tested to meet the highest standards – in this case that of the Master Chronometer certification. And as the newest member of the beloved Seamaster Diver 300M collection, which has garnered a loyal following since its debut in 1993, this new celebratory edition presents itself as an essential addition for collectors and sailing enthusiasts.
