To celebrate OMEGA’s role as Official Timekeeper at the 37th America’s Cup, OMEGA produced this impressive Seamaster Diver 300M with regatta scale and commemorative caseback.
The 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 white ceramic matt-finish dial is laser-engraved with waves in positive relief. The central seconds hand has an America’s Cup trophy counterweight in the same blue as the Barcelona logo.
This distinctive blue logo, with “Auld Mug” and B for Barcelona is also on the sapphire crystal caseback. The watch is powered by OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806.
This model has a stainless-steel bracelet with OMEGA’s patented Quick-Change system and is presented in a commemorative blue box with red stitching.
Features
Anti-magnetic
The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).
Chronometer
Label given to a watch which has undergone precision tests and received a certificate from an official body.
Helium escape valve
Decompression system which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn for professional use in pressure chambers. (Long-term underwater work, crude oil exploration, etc.)
Master Chronometer Certified
Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology.
Screw-in crown
Self-locking crown, screwed into the tube of the case, used for highly water resistant divers’ watches.
Transparent caseback
A transparent caseback – frequently made of sapphire – makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
Unidirectional rotating bezel
A bezel which turns in only one direction. Particularly useful for divers who cannot accidentally rotate it in the wrong direction, which could cause them to miscalculate their dive times. A rotating bezel makes it easy to measure elapsed time.
