A Watch Built for the Sea
The Seamaster Regatta, launched to honor the 37th America’s Cup, stands as a pinnacle of Omega’s innovation in maritime timekeeping. The Grade 5 titanium case ensures durability while keeping the watch lightweight, ideal for the demands of a professional sailor. The timepiece features both analog and digital displays, making it an indispensable tool for regatta participants who require accuracy and reliability on the water.
The multifunction quartz movement, Omega’s Calibre 5701, drives the watch’s key features, which include a chronograph, a moon phase indicator, a sailing log, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, and three alarms. Most notably, the regatta function provides precise timing for the countdown phase, crucial for competitive sailing.
Precision-Engineered Controls
The Seamaster Regatta is equipped with four distinctive pushers—one in red and three in blue—all made from rubber for ease of use at sea. The pushers control the watch’s various functions, while a sandblasted crown, engraved with the Omega logo, is both pressed and rotated to operate the timepiece smoothly.
The back of the watch features a Helmholtz resonator-inspired caseback with a wave pattern, designed to amplify the sound of the alarms. This ensures that audible alerts are clear and easy to hear, even in challenging conditions.
Digital Precision Meets Classic Design
Omega combines advanced digital technology with classic Seamaster design elements. The LCD display shows black markings on a white-grey background for high readability, even during quick maneuvers on deck. The watch hands, inspired by the Diver 300M, can be deactivated to allow better visibility of the digital display in low light conditions, further enhancing functionality.
Celebrating the America’s Cup
This special edition Seamaster Regatta is adorned with unique touches that commemorate the 37th America’s Cup. The caseback features the America’s Cup logo alongside engravings of “SEAMASTER REGATTA” and “37th AMERICA’S CUP”. These details, coupled with the high-performance features, make it a collector’s piece for both professional sailors and Omega enthusiasts.
A Complete Package
The Seamaster Regatta comes presented in a custom blue commemorative box with red stitching, designed for secure storage when not in use. With Omega’s quick-change strap system, users can easily switch between the integrated blue rubber strap and alternative options, further personalizing the watch.
