Omega has unveiled the new Seamaster Regatta watch, which combines analogue and digital functions in a bold design for the 37th America's Cup.
Designed for sailors, this watch delivers the perfect combination of functionality and style. With a diameter of 46.75 mm and a titanium case, it hides a dial that is anything but simple, as it combines analog hands and an LCD screen. But this watch is not only attractive to look at; it contains extremely useful functions such as moon phase indicator, chronograph, sailing log, temperature gauge, accelerometer and three alarms. With a regatta function and a unique LCD screen, it consolidates its status as a versatile accessory for competitive sailing.
The Seamaster Regatta is powered by the Omega Quartz Caliber 5701, which offers a battery life of up to 30 months. This “multifunction quartz chronograph movement” also includes a perpetual calendar, UTC, tachymeter, telemeter, heart rate monitor and stopwatch, all accompanied by a 61-page user manual. The design includes red and blue control buttons and a sandblasted crown for additional functions, underscoring Omega's emphasis on utility and style. Despite its complexity, it is only water-resistant to 5 bars, probably due to the frequent use of the crown and buttons.
With a price of approx EUR 7,400 this watch is definitely an investment. However, for those who appreciate Omega's rich historical relationship with the America's Cup, it is a fitting tribute. Omega has been associated with this prestigious competition since 1995 and continues its role as official timekeeper for the 2024 edition. The Seamaster Regatta comes with a commemorative box, a blue rubber strap with Omega's patented quick-change system and design elements that hint at its nautical inspiration. .
For watch lovers and sailors alike, the Omega Seamaster Regatta is a compelling blend of luxury and functionality, embodying the spirit of the America's Cup in every detail.
