Omega Seamaster Diver 300M ETNZ Chronograph
Omega is proud of the partnership with Emirates Team New Zealand that started with Sir Peter Blake's American's Cup campaign in 1995. The team handily won the Cup, a feat it would repeat in 2000. When Sir Peter retired from professional sailing after that campaign, Omega continued to support him as one of the main sponsors of his Blakexpeditions project until his untimely death in 2001.
Since then, Omega has continued its support for ETNZ and the brand looks forward to cheering it on in its next challenge for the America's Cup in 2017 and the preceding races in the America's Cup World Series.
Omega has long supported the able yachtsmen of Emirates Team New Zealand and the Seamaster Diver 300M ETNZ celebrates the brand's relationship with the renowned sailing team.
Technical Specifications:
The case, in titanium, measures 44mm. It has a black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel with a polished diving scale whose indications have been created in relief using laser ablation. There is a dot at the top of the bezel at 12 o'clock which is coated with white SuperLuminova and emits a green light. The case has pushers at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock that stand out with a red aluminium ring and matte black ceramic ring. In fact, all of the elements that correspond to the chronograph function are colored in red. There is also a helium escape valve with a integrated date corrector at 10 o'clock on the case. The crystal is an AR-coated sapphire and it is water resistant to 300 meters. The caseback features the ETNZ logo.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Omega in-house caliber 3330 with 31 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 52 hours. It is a column-wheel movement with Co-Axial escapement, a Si14 silicon balance spring, and it is chronometer certified. It features a Regatta timing complication.
The dial is sand-blasted titanium with applied indeces coated with white SuperLuminova that emits a blue light. A silvery chronograph seconds track can be found on the outer edge of the dial; inside this ring is a matte titanium minute track. There are three sub-dials on the dial: a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock, a 12-hour recorder at 6 o'clock and a 30-minute recorder at 3 o'clock which also indicates the five-minute countdown to the start of a regatta.
It comes on a rubber strap with a foldover clasp. The top part of the strap is black and has a ribbed pattern, while the underside of the strap is red and has a design that is reminiscent of the sails on the team's boat. This pattern ensures that water and air can pass freely underneath allowing the skin to breath.
