On Winning the 37th Americas Cup
OMEGACongratulates Emirates Team New Zealand
Sailing history was written on Saturday, 19th October as Emirates Team New Zealand won the 37th America’s Cup. OMEGA has been a long-term partner of the New Zealand crew since 1995 and proudly watched as they claimed the ‘Auld Mug’ for the 5th time in history.
This year’s racing took place in Barcelona, where the challenger, INEOS Britannia Team, faced a head-to-head battle with the defender, Emirates Team New Zealand. Competed over 9 races, the New Zealand team eventually claimed a 7-2 winning margin in the first-to-seven series, showing the very best of its tactical precision and innovative boat design.
To celebrate its role as Official Timekeeper at the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, OMEGA has produced an impressive Master Chronometer certified watch, replete with America’s Cup tributes.
A salute to the world-famous boat race, complete with its own waves, laser-engraved in positive relief on the white ceramic dial.
Three decades on from when it all began, the Swiss brand’s loyalties remain firmly with the sailors from New Zealand. The sailing watch has its own waves, laser-engraved in positive relief on the white ceramic matt-finish dial.
Like the competing crews, OMEGA’s 37th America’s Cup tribute has been tested at the highest level.
At the 37th edition of the America’s Cup, OMEGA will be cheering on the sailors and support crew of Emirates Team New Zealand, as they give it their all to see off the challenger and retain the oldest trophy in international sport, the America’s Cup.
For the brand famous for precision, it was another case of perfect timing. The kiwis claimed the cup that same year, and in three subsequent years: 2000, 2017, and 2021.
The watch, presented in a commemorative blue box with red stitching, can be worn two ways: on a stainless-steel bracelet or blue rubber strap. Both fixed with OMEGA’s patented Quick-Change system.
A blend of dive watch tech and on-deck functions, OMEGA’s Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup 42 mm is a must-have for sailing fans and collectors.
