In one year, the Auckland-based crew will be giving it their all to keep the world’s oldest sporting trophy in kiwi hands. To help them catch the breeze, OMEGA has drawn design inspiration from the sail of the ETNZ logo to produce a unique America’s Cup collectable.

OMEGA’s President and CEO Mr. Raynald Aeschlimann spoke highly of the watch and the crew that inspired its creation. “Much like our friends from Emirates Team New Zealand, a year races by fast, so the time is right to show our true colours. Our race-ready watch looks as good as it performs and is a fitting tribute to the talented crew and the country they represent.”

The 45.5 mm Seamaster Planet Ocean blends the deepest black with the turquoise of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo.

On the matt ceramic dial, OMEGA has included a nod to pre-race protocol with a COUNTDOWN INDICATOR at 3 o’clock complete with flagged START. The indicator’s hand and subdial ring are in Emirates Team New Zealand logo turquoise, along with the minute track, number 12, and central seconds chronograph hand with America’s Cup trophy counterweight. OMEGA has also included the colour on the rings of the brushed black ceramic pushers, the “He” on the helium escape valve and the OMEGA logo on the crown.
