15/09/2023 - 12:25 in Lifestyle by Omega

Launched to mark the lead-up to the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, the Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black Emirates Team New Zealand Edition pays tribute to the defending champions by blending the deepest black with the bold colour of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo.

Inspired by the turquoise sail

To help the kiwis catch the breeze in Barcelona, OMEGA drew design inspiration from the sail of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo, highlighting specific elements of the watch in the same striking colour. The result is a unique America’s Cup collectable in celebration of OMEGA’s support of Emirates Team New Zealand, which began in 1995.

PLANET OCEAN 600M
CO‑AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER CHRONOGRAPH 45.5 MM

This 45.5 mm tribute to the defenders of the 37th America’s Cup blends the deepest black with the turquoise of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo.

Complementing the black ceramic case is a unidirectional bezel in brushed black ceramic with white enamel diving scale and triangle-framed dot at 12, which includes white Super-LumiNova to emit a green glow in the dark.

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 ETNZ 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.

As a salute to the kiwi crew, the NAIAD LOCK caseback has an Emirates Team New Zealand logo with turquoise fern and white lettering. A black and turquoise structured rubber strap with turquoise stitching and black ceramic clasp fixes the race-ready watch to the wrist, while OMEGA’s Master Chronometer Calibre 9900 provides the power.

The tribute to the kiwi crew incudes a special presentation box in Emirates Team New Zealand colours.

 

“The watch has a case and dial in black ceramic, as stated by the [ZrO2] symbol at the centre of the display.”
