Omega launched a new race-ready Seamaster Chrono to celebrate its role as the Official Timekeeper of the 36th America’s Cup. The Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup Chronograph includes Omega’s exclusive chrono lock-system to secure critical functions in high swells and ergonomic soft-touch pushers designed to work when wet. Built from stainless steel, the 44 mm diver has a blue dial with a laser-engraved wave-pattern and matching blue ceramic bezel ring with a white enamel diving scale. A subdial at 3 o’clock includes a red ‘regatta countdown indicator ring’ with an hour disc display underneath and a red minute hand shaped like a boat hull. A matching hull shaped rhodium-plated small seconds hand sits at 9 o’clock. The dials finishing touch is the red central seconds hand counterweight, a replica of the America’s Cup. Engravings filled with blue lacquer spell out 36th America’s Cup and Auckland 2021 on the caseback. Mounted on stainless steel bracelet, each timepiece comes in a special presentation box in the colors of the America’s Cup with an additional quick change rubber strap. Omega’s co-axial master chronometer calibre 990 powers the watch.
